Tableau

Hi Everyone,
What a fun day in drama today :) Here is a follow up to our discussion on the tableau project.

Daily Challenge: Cut and paste the link into the address bar. Watch the tableau. This will give you a rough idea of what I am looking for. Your group's tableau must have a song as well as at least five transitions and scenes. We will go into more detail next drama class and come up with some success criteria together.

I found this shadow show on a remembrance day theme to spark your creativity. We will brainstorm some ideas on Monday for a tableau format.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Most of you are familiar with the game math prodigy. If you were not here today our class code is EB19E7. Your daily challenge is to play the game for at least 15 minutes. I have added some assignments to game, so your answers will be submitted to me.
