SO MUCH TO DO!

Thank you actors, filmmakers, costume designers, stage managers and musicians! We had a busy week. Designing costumes for our Wizard of Oz trailers, learning how to work in groups of 8 (instead of the "oh so easy" group of 4) and filming our soap operas. This week we finish filming,  review and edit our work all while 35 young actors build a show after school from scratch. So much to do in G53!

SOAP OPERAS and OZ

This week the 8th graders conceptualized stories that would fit into a soap opera model. Students developed ideas and began storyboarding their episodes.

7th graders watched the film classic, The Wizard of Oz and began work  re-imagining the film. Next week students will work to create their own Wizard of Oz trailers.
