As the final project for first semester's 7th graders, each student memorized, costumed, and performed a monologue, or one-person acting speech. Monologues were taken from larger plays or monologue collections. We focused on creating characters that were real--breathing and feeling as we really do in different moments of our lives. With realism the top priority, many students were able to make a great leap in their acting abilities. Below are a few of the outstanding performances seen in class. Great job to all my first semester 7th graders! See you in 8th grade!
This is Brian's monologue of an ambivalent high-achiever (Period 2).
This is Jordi's monologue of a nervous girl about to donate blood (Period 2).
This is Andrew's monologue of a first...umm...date? (Period 3)
