Scribe for Monday March 9th

In class we had a whole period to work on our Dr.Phil/Frankenstein performances.  Presentations will be on Friday so come to class rehearsed and ready to perform.

  • Make sure to print out a copy of the script to turn into Mrs. Smith and copies for all your group members to read from, you will not be required to memorize the script
  • Follow the blue handout on the format for the script
  • Some groups began practicing stage directions, don't neglect this. There will also be more time to work on wed. 
  • It is VERY important we create amazing presentations because if we impress Mrs. Smith we will watch a movie instead of doing a science paper
For Wed: Have a plan on what your group will be working on this is the last day in class work time will be available.  Also, Class starts at 12:00 because of PARC.  Class will be shortened (we have 42 min).

And don't forget about your LL2 those are due in April!

Scribe March 2, 2015

Ben Newell
Agenda:
  • Set up appointment to go over LL1, By thursday.
  • Check grades for parent teacher conferences
  • Fishbowl Frankenstein ending.
  • Intro to Dr. Phil Frankenstein project.
  • Some PARCC info
Fishbowl ideas:
Can the monster be good?
  • He tried, but humanity rejected him.
-The monster taunts Victor in the final chase.
-Monster just wants a bro.
-Victor is a coward.(runs from initial creature and bails on the female creature)
Can the creature be a victim even if he kills?
  • Most of his motivation comes from his abandonment, so even though his killings aren’t fully justified, the monster is not totally to blame.
  • Victim of abandonment, but enjoys killing so he is not a good being.
Dr. Phil Project:
-Must have a Dr. Phil, Frankenstein and Monster.
-No storming out in act, must be constructive.
-Present on either Wednesday or Friday of next week depending on PARCC schedule.
Examples of Dr. Phil:

Homework: Work on Dr. Phil Script.
