Shakespeare+Ideas

3/31/09 Next Meeting: Tuesday, April 7th 2:45 pm in A38 . Hopefully this will be to "finalize" plans!
===__Update:__ Cathy's senior drama students are creating scavenger hunt trivia questions for the freshmen. It's actually coming along! We have an entire wiki page devoted to these concepts, thanks to Jan T!!=== I do not yet have any strolling minstrels. Perhaps with the looming band trip, this is too much to ask? Sean, maybe you could post the classes that are being visited and when on this wikipage so we all know?

**3/10/09 Shakespeare Celebration: Ideas from Sean's Classes**

<span style="color: rgb(128,0,128);">
===<span style="color: rgb(128,0,128);">Morning Announcement – Have a few students give a short announcement on some information they prepared on Shakespeare. I already have a few volunteers for this one. ===

<span style="color: rgb(128,0,128);">
===<span style="color: rgb(128,0,128);">This next one is a fun idea but logistically it seems very difficult. One student suggested we make T-shirts with a Shakespeare logo on the front and a fact on the back. Anytime the students wearing the T-shirt are in a class they have to share the fact on the back of their shirt. ===

<span style="color: rgb(128,0,128);">
===<span style="color: rgb(128,0,128);">Do a “Shakespeare Cabaret Night.” I don’t know a lot about Cabaret night but one student thought the format of Cabaret Night with Shakespeare theme would work. People could read scenes from plays, explain famous lines, etc. ===

<span style="color: rgb(128,0,128);">
===<span style="color: rgb(128,0,128);">Trivia Posters. Students will make posters with trivia questions on them, and drop boxes where students can leave their name and the answer. Maybe we could hand out prizes to those who answered the question correctly. ===
