IT WAS INTERESTING … this week, to watch students engage because they wanted to learn or disengage because they felt as though the exercise was beneath them.
I ENJOY WATCHING … students make discoveries or try really hard to master concepts. Felicity said, strait-up, that she has done this work with me over the years, and she feels like it may finally be making sense (my fault - not hers), and she really wants to make certain she’s on the right track. AUDITIONS HAPPEN IN CLASS … not the day of the audition. This is the time when I’m casting and thinking about people to play roles in shows. I’m even picking my Shakespeare play based on what I’m seeing from students. The audition is happening now. Showing up to the literal audition is just a hoop that shows me you’re interested and committed. Needless to say ... I’m learning a lot. I FEEL AS THOUGH ... I adapted to the new schedule pretty well. I shortened the warm-up at the beginning of class and kept my "Question of the Day" down to short answers. Games went about as long as I expected, the flow felt pretty good, and overall the students were great.
I'M STRUGGLING ... with the best way to communicate "total listening," but it's a difficult concept to master. I'll cut myself a little slack on this one and keep changing things up. I FAILED ... in one of my classes by providing too much of my own input. They needed to come to their own conclusions and I feel as though I led them a bit more than I should have. I'll do better next week. |
