Humanities: Magician Scot Grassette

Today we have a guest speaker, magician and entrepreneur, Scot Grassette.  He owns and operates 49 Franklin, an event center and performance arts venue in Rumford.

He'll be sharing his stagecraft and magicianship as well as what he has learned about business and turning your passions into a career.  It should be a pretty great afternoon.

For Wednesday, you need to have completed all three of your DEJ entries on symbolism in Speak.   You may want to continue on to doing three on theme in Speak if you have time.  We will be tackling point-of-view in the near future.

Next week, we will be focusing on creating the video for the 8th graders.

PACE: Macbeth Pitches

The weather held us back, but no longer.  Today's the day we pitch our ideas for TV series, films, book series and video games inspired by Macbeth.

If we like what we hear, we just may create trailers for these ideas.

Show bibles are due today as well.  Put them in your PACE IN box on your Google Drive.

Next class?  We vote on whether to move forward with trailers or start something new.

We also get back on track with a more regular schedule and our routines, now that Mr. Ryder will be here more regularly, the weather is improving and we have Ms. Haskell and Ms. Campbell to help us.
