RE: Alternatives to Zoom and Google for BREAK out Rooms

Blackboard and Web x are both platforms like Zoom. Sounds like there are even more like that out there. You create a link and then students can click in to join the session. There are breakout rooms so you can divide into small groups, you can share or present documents, record sessions....lots.

Not inappropriate at all, but check out The Least Offensive Play in the Whole Darn World (Playscripts) Sanitized snippets of much more adult themed plays. I did it with my high schoolers and it made me snort laugh every time. Sent from my iPhone

I had a similar issue a few years ago, and administration told me that I could not exclude the student from anything offered to other students. We did require supervision of him at all times, however. His mom came to after school club meetings and rehearsals at first, and then they hired an aide to watch ...

When I taught Social Skills, one of the things we worked on was the concept that people think you’re thinking about what you are looking at. If you are looking at the ceiling, people will think you’re thinking about the ceiling or something NOT what you are supposed to be thinking about. I applied this ...

I had a student that really wanted to create illustrations to project on a screen, so the "pages" of the book were projections. The rest of the set was extremely simple with set pieces that were easily moved on and off by the characters. The length of the play can vary based on how much improvised action ...

We did the Hillary DePiano version a couple of years ago. The high school kids and I absolutely loved it. One of the funniest and flexible shows we had ever done, and lots of opportunities to learn about commedia, movement, etc. The administration had issues with a couple of scenes, which was surprising ...

I had the kids paint a graffiti backdrop. This was a shoe-strings production, but it worked beautifully. ------------------------------ Kathleen Tissot Brooklyn WI

I once did "Creepy Stories" based on short stories taught in the English curriculum. One act royalties are generally less, and we paid for the ones we used, just as in a regular full length.

Yes, I have. I put the ensemble in the audience, posing as parents, friends, and relatives of the spellers. They had to remain in character when interacting with the actual audience pre-show and during intermission, which gave them more to do. During the numbers (especially Pandemonium), they would either ...

I have had the same problem the past couple of years. Since they all know that being a Thespian is for life, is there anything even behind the status of not in good standing? ------------------------------------------- Kathleen Tissot Brooklyn WI -------------------------------------------
