Practice, Practice, Business Cards!

 30.10.2020

Hi, it's Miriam and this is what we did at PREP this week. Today we practised a lot but also had a lot of fun. Today we finally decided on what our business card is going to be.

Today when we practiced the play, our teacher Mr. Sparks had us focus on staying in charecter. He also had us work on our slow motion. Our slow motion was for a fight scene in our play. It is based around people blaming other people about who's fault it is that the wedding went wrong.

 Since I am the Happy Caterer I get to through something in my fighting partners face! I'm really excited about that. My buddy and I worked really hard on our minny fight because we were finding it challenging to balance in slow motion. 

After lunch we work with our other teacher Mr. Allen on writing our blog post and creating advertisements for our play. Today as soon as we finished one run through of our play Mr. Allen had us walk around and look at each other's business card proposals. 

After we looked at all of them we had to vote for the business card that we liked the best. Once we had our business card we also had to vote on the logo that we liked the best. I voted for the most colorful and happy logo so people were captured by its appearance.

 Then we had 2 more tasks. The first one was to create a poster that we would vote on next week. The other task was to write a blog post about what we did today. So that's what I'm doing now. I want some people's opinion on my poster, so here it is.

PREP Play! We Got Our Roles!

25.9.2020

Hi again, it's Miriam and today we had another day of PREP. I had so much fun going throughout the play over and over again. One of the reasons I enjoyed PREP a lot today was because today we got our roles for the play. Even though these roles are not set in stone I was very happy to know that the teacher thought I was good enough to have a good role. As well as getting our roles we focused a lot on working together as a team and staying in charecter. 

At the beginning of the day we got into a circle and worked on a really hard teamwork game. The game was aimed to help teammates understand how other people in their group work and kind of help people feel their other teammates rhythm of work. How the game worked was however many people there were we would have to reach that number by going from 1 to however many people there were. The only problem with that is we aren't allowed to communicate who is going to say the number next so we had to wait until someone has already said a number to day the next one. Everytime that more than one person said the same number we had to start form one again.

After we did that Mr. Sparks, our drama teacher, told us where we were going to stand on the stage and what role we are going to be. My role is the Mexican Caterer who crashes his truck into the sea so there is no food. My character's name is Jose and he has to speak with a Spanish accent. Since I have a very vivid American accent it is very hard for me to sound Mexican but I will keep on practicing over the hollidays.

Thank you for reading my post.
