Our morning began by practicing our editing skills and reviewing the writing process. In reviewing the writing process, we have thought of many ideas (brainstorming), expanded one idea into a sentence (drafting), and then today, expanded the sentence using details and exact verbs (revising). After practicing two voices poems yesterday, campers wrote their own two voices poems today. They will continue to revise and edit these in preparation for publishing (performance).
Theater games were the highlight of the morning. Campers participated in a game called "Quick Change Artist," and another called "Freeze." Discussion of the writing traits was a tremendous help as campers continued to write their group mystery scripts. More on-stage practice was given for a "Who Done It?" script which will be performed on the last day!
Camper Allison sums up her morning as follows:
Today, we started with some daily edits and sentence writing (writing process). We played two fun games, wrote poetry, and worked on our scripts.
Allison enjoyed playing the games. They were a lot of fun, and she hopes to play more as camp continues. Tomorrow, we will share our poetry, hopefully play some more games, and work on our sentences and our plays.
Can you believe Mrs. Filbert changed TWO things about her during the "Quick Change Artist" game?! I loved how all our campers thought quick on their feet during the "Freeze" game! I'm looking forward to sharing our poems for two voices tomorrow. Can you guess my topic?!!
ReplyDeleteDon't worry campers...there are more theater games to come! Keep practicing your "Who Done It?" character, so Mrs. Gaugler does not have to play the part of the Duke again!
