Intro to World Theatre (Period 3 & 5)
Here's the project outline:
WORLD THEATER RESEARCH
PROJECT: ____________________________________ Yanchak
FORMATIVE – 100% (as
detailed below) Theater II
Objective:
Students will work alone or in pairs to research one of the topics listed and present
their work to their class in a PowerPoint presentation as detailed on the
rubric.
Note: Computers
will be available in the library during class periods on APRIL 9-11. They must
include audio-visual points as detailed below.
Students should plan to bring in headphones/earbuds and flashdrives as
needed. Presentations will take place
beginning APRIL 14 in class (not in the library), and students will be required
to transport their work from their assigned laptop to the classroom’s computer.
(It can be turned in via
Student Vault which is by far the easiest thing to do.)
