1.  Warm-up   Slap, Clap, Click, Click  (concentration, rhythm, pacing, working together)

Stand in a circle. The leader begins a 4/4 rhythm, which everybody joins in with:
One – slap both hands on thighs
Two – clap hands together
Three – click fingers of right hand
Four – click fingers of left hand
Once the rhythm is established, go round the circle with everybody saying their own name on the fourth beat, as you click your fingers with your left hand. Try not to speed up.

• You can play this as a name game – on the fourth beat you say the name of the person next to you.

The next version is a little more challenging. Give a number to everybody around the circle from 1 to however many there are. Get the rhythm going again. One person begins by saying their own number on the third beat and somebody else’s number on the fourth beat. Whoever’s number was called on the fourth beat calls their own number on the third beat of the next bar and somebody else’s number on the fourth. So it could go like this:
Slap – clap – six – ten
Slap – clap – ten– sevenSlap – clap – seven – two

And so on. If and when a mistake is made, stop the game and begin again. Emphasis the steadiness of the beat. You could have a forfeit for whoever makes a mistake – I’ll leave that up to you!

Today is a day of reflection.  Enjoy the experience . . .

Criterion C, D

1.  These two videos were shown as good examples for you to follow. Watch these 2 videos again:

Niall de Burca - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4CWYnpcoA3E
Muireann Murphy - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fyjrK_rmSPQ

Write a paragraph (approximately 100 words) to compare and contrast your storytelling video with one of these models.  Look at technical aspects (lighting, costume, props, background, sound, etc).  How does your video measure up?

2.  Now it's time to reflect on your video.
Using the Task Specific Rubric (http://ois-drama11.blogspot.pt/p/storytelling-rubric.html) reflect on your work and give yourself a grade.

Due at the beginning of class March 14.
