Theatre History Presentations began on Wednesday, October 20th and were both impressive and informative. These presentations included research, appropriate reference citations, marketing, public speaking techniques, self analysis, technology and audience connection. During presentations “audience” students were required to take notes, these notes will be the basis for their final exam on theatre history.

Students have been working in the LRTC all week on their Theatre History projects, (approximately 4 hours so far). Everyone was given a laptop, and access to numerous reference books from both the Glenview Public Library and the Springman Library, as well as over 300 projects from past years. Next week we will continue in the LRTC (taking into account our two field trips: Wagner Farm and Passages). I hope you were able to review the syllabus and rubric. Presentations will begin Tuesday, October 19th in chronological order.
