Students will expand their knowledge of different acting styles, as well as gain experience in shadow puppetry which will be used for our spring play. Additionally, they will share what they have learned with other members of the ISD 728 community. The primary evaluation will be the production quality of our school's spring play. We will also have participants complete surveys before and after they take the classes.
To evaluate the workshop portion of the project, I had the students fill out two surveys, one on the first day of the workshop, and a follow up on the final day. The techniques that the students learned were then applied to our theatrical production of The Hobbit, and we based the success of that project on audience feedback.
