Grading Policy:

Students will earn grades for class participation, quizzes, tests, projects, class work and performances. Students are required to attend one play performance a semester.

Grading

60% major

40% daily

Major grades will consist of group and solo performances, tests, performance attendance and major theatre projects. Daily grades will be smaller performances, participation, notebook assignments, audience etiquette and quizzes.

Late grades:

Daily: 50% off for one day late, not accepted after one day late.

Major: Ten points off for each day up until the third day, and then they are not accepted.

Supplies:

Folder

Lined Paper

Highlighters

Pens/Pencils

Attitude:

Theatre is a collaborative art and requires that individuals work together and support each other. Theater students will be working in groups and in pairs for many assignments so getting along with everyone is vitally important! A positive attitude plays a critical role in how much each student learns and in his/her contribution to the success of the entire class.

Upcoming Events:

September 18- Theatre fundraiser information meeting during class.

Date to be determined- Theatre team auditions during school.
