Portfolio:
Students need to be well organized. The final grade 2nd semester for this course will be based on the completed portfolio which contains artifacts from all RMHS theatre courses and outside of RMHS theatre activities. This portfolio will be checked periodically and graded twice throughout the semester, once at midterm and once at final.
Play Reading:
In order to broaden student knowledge of classical and contemporary plays students are required to read two contrasting plays (classical/contemporary, comedy/drama etc) outside of class. Everything including full-length and one act plays are fair game. Students are encouraged to read plays that hold their interest. Plays are available through the RMHS library.
