Carol Writes:Gwen Sewell"s English students and now, my drama students are both involved in the playwriting process and are collaborating like you wouldn't believe in making the scenes come alive. Yesterday was the completion of the rough drafts and today, Gwen and I had them do some more polishing and they performed the scenes for each other. We will spend Friday in more rewrites and after our Thanksgiving break, we will be make the puppets, including Noggle, the Dream Dragon. We also have on board, Jennifer Bone, who is our Media Specialist Head. When I told her about the project, she got truly excited and is going to be our Puppet Master. "the ripples in the water from one pebble..."
We have also enlisted the English students to become actors, so you will see all of our students in the play. Many of the English students are amazed at discovering their new acting talents. They are so learning from each other.
What we see our students learning has exceeded our expectations and they are beginning to understand what I told them at the beginning about how they can quietly touch the world and get touched back.
