So you have a two week break and a two week opportunity to work on your accents! You've each chosen an accent ans a poem to do, due November 18th.
You need a 1 page write-up of your acting process. This includes where you looked for help, what websites, podcasts, books, movies, shows. What exercises you practised, when did you practise them, did you record yourself performing the poem, circle words you don't know how to say. Start slow! You don't have to jump in and speak really quickly at first. Get it right before you speed up your speech.
Poems:
Jessica, Julia, Monica A are doing Pennies From Heaven:
I put 10p in my Piggy Bank
To save for a rainy day.
It rained the very next morning!
Three Cheers, Hip Hip Hooray!
Malcolm, Simon, Evan, Sydney, Victoria, Symanthia are doing Rain:
There are holes in the sky
Where the rain gets in,
But they're ever so small,
That's why rain is thin.
Andrew, Monica, Sandra are doing Weather:
Whether the weather be fine,
Or whether the weather be not.
Whether the weather be cold,
Or whether the weather be hot.
We'll weather the weather
Whatever the weather,
Whether we like it or not.
Abby, Andrew P, Josh are doing A Man Said to Me:
A man said to me,
"Can you sing?"
I said, "Sing?"
He said, "Yes."
I said, "Who?"
He said, "You."
I said, "Me?"
He said, "Yes."
I said, "When?"
He said, "Now."
I said, "Now?"
He said, "Yes."
I said, "No."
He said, "Oh."
