Introduction
-Today we are starting our new unit. We are going to be
working on a section of very important to me. This will be
part of our speech unit, but it wont be speech as we
traditionally see it.
-What that means is we are going to be actually be learning
some sign language.
-Our question of the day today is what are some different
ways that we communicate?

Time

-Question of the day with signing a part of Oh Canada.


-Signing the first section Oh Canada.
-Students will respect others thoughts and answers.
-Students will raise their hands when they have a question
or they shear an answer.
-Students will work as a collective to learn the different
signs that are needed.
-We are going to go over what sign section that we are
going to be learning.
-To start off today we are going to start off with some simple
different facts about sign and then we are going to start to
learn the sign that we will be presenting to the school.
Body
-All right today we are going to be learning the first section
of Oh Canada.
-A key part to keep in mind when we are learning sign
language is that there is a range of motion that we have to
keep in mind. This rang that we need to move in is the
width of our body, any movement that is outside that rang
would be considered yelling.
-So lets go nice and slow through this first sections.
-How is that feeling?
-I would like to hear how you each are thing this is going?
-All right we are going to take a brake for a bit and we are
going to play a round of poison.
-So dont forget this activity the point is to get another
person into the poison box. If you do enter the poison box
then you are out. If you get out you can only get back into
the game if you properly recite the first section of Oh
Canada that we have learns today.
-Are students able to safely participate in the activity?
-If students get out are the attempting to get back into the
activity?

-Verbal feedback throughout the activity.
-Next class we are going to be continuing on to the next
section of Oh Canada.

-This first section did take two days. In the first day there were a lot of
questions about other signs that I did not know the answers to. In the
end I told students that they would have to go and look that up on
their own time. For next time I hope that I will be able to know more
sign and be able to answer their questions about what is what when it
comes to sign. We ended up not doing any activity this day because
we really wanted to hammer home the first page of movements so that
when we continued on there would be fast learning and understanding
in later days. On the second day we re-visited what the first page was
and mostly everyone knew what it was and how it should look. We
were able to get to play the game. Notes on that would be if there is
more then one person out and they are waiting to sign for you then get
them to due it as a group but no more then three so that you can
watch each person and correct any movements that are not done

Time

correctly. By the end of two day students had the first page well
memorized and we were able to move forward before the end of class
to look at page two.

This only took one and a half classes. Looking at page two at the end
of day one really help get them ready for the working more on this
page. We ended up running through the second page three of four
times before we had to due it with page one. Once page one got
entered in there was some who lost track. We ran through this around
three times as well. Freeze tag does not work as an activity. There was
to many people out to see at once. I would like that next time we
would play poison again or a different elimination game that is slower
and self-run. There needed to be a lot of one on one work with this
page to make correction maybe next time have everyone go in pairs

Time

and show each other then film each other so that they could watch
themselves perform and fix any mistakes that they see and then I can
even take a look at them at a later time to review who needs more one
on one work.

section of Oh Canada.

Students had to sign first and second pages to see if their remember
them. All did and were able to fly first two pages. We decided that
since the fourth page was a repeat of the third that we could get
through both. There were only 6 new signs that needed to be learnt.
Once we were able to get through page three pages four was very
simple. We ran through the whole thing three times before we got into
our actual performance group, and were able to film it so that when we
get back to school we can view the video and see where we need work
and then we can work on the different parts that need work. After we
were able to film groups were chosen for their scripts. There are some
groups that might have to be changed due to the fact of who is in
them. Students had till the end of class about 7min to read through
their scripts and decided which characters they are going to be. Before
the bell rang they had to bring their scripts back to me and tell me
witch character they were going to be. If I could change something it
would be that we could have had more time to read through the scripts
or just move it to next class so that we would have more time.

Today was interesting; it was a Tuesday after a four-day weekend. Only


four kind of five remembered all of Oh Canada. Today turned from a
script planning and Oh Canada day into just Oh Canada. From the way
everyone is doing there are three kind of four that are just not getting
it. This is starting to make me think maybe we should not have those
ones perform for it will looks wired but at the same time I dont want
anyone to be left out. I feel that if we can get the black lights by
Monday and film with those and the gloves they will get excited again
and they will all be doing really well. I am going to talk to my T.A and
see what they think about maybe all of this because I am not sure still.
For sure need to take some time on this one. I feel that if we just go
through it at the start of each class we can get it for sure. I will also
have to talk to my T.A about what the celebration it self will look like
and will we will have some type of bleachers to stand on. Today we
tried things out with a slower version of Oh Canada that they were
able to keep up with. I am also going to have to ask if the band will be
playing Oh Canada or if we can use a recording. We will have to see.

characters.
-Today with your company you are going to get your scripts
back again and I would like you to be working through your
production notes.
-For the production notes you will need to split up the
workload each person is in charge of one section. In the
group of threes case as a group you will complete one of
the sections. You must put your name with the section that
you completed.
Body
-Students will start working on each section of the planner.
Students must make sure that they are responsible for their
own sections. You are more then welcome to put this
information on separate pages but when it comes time for
them to be handed in I would like them all together in a
duotang with a title page of you production.
-You have todays class to work on this as well as the next
two. This will only be handed in on the day we present.
-Students are working on their production note.
-Are students dividing the work up equally between each
other?
-Are students able to start on planning out what their show
will visually look like?
-If you feel like you have a good start on your blocking as
well as organizing any sets that you might need.
-As well you should try to work on your memorization of
your lines. For your production you will need to be
memorized.

Today we started off class as signing Oh Canada as a whole and it


looked a lot better. I feel that everyone should be able to preform now
will they all get the best marks no but I think that they can handle it
better now. We started our production notes today one thing that I saw
that I was really proud of was that they were reading through their
scripts again to see what they needed and to remember the story
again. When we were reading through the production notes it was
simple enough that there was not a lot of question but I did forget to
add in the fact that each person was responsible for their own section
meaning they have to bring this in and set it up and make sure it is
here when the show starts. The best part of today was the fact that
Josh was able to Skype in. This was really great, I felt that it brought
the kids back to the fact this is why we are doing this. We ended up
presenting Oh Canada for Josh and that was awesome he thought we
looked really good and so did I they did a lot better then even the start
of class. Josh did have a couple words of wisdom that the kids really
got. He really left them off with a feeling of pride almost where they

Time

were left feeling proud of what they were doing. I feel like this will
really help them when it comes to present. I might get Josh to send the
good luck note of sorts to bring them together and make them feel
that no matter what we are impressed and proud of them.

This time Monday went well we only had to run through Oh Canada
twice. They were able to pretty much at the same time through out the
performance. When is came to them finishing their planner several
groups struggled with time management. There was only one
collective that had a poster to go with their planner. There were
several groups that only one or two people where doing all the
planning and the other where not. This was noted to that it would
reflect on their individual mark when it comes to the planning section.
All groups did hand in a planner at the end of class.
On Tuesday we were able to sign all of Oh Canada. After that we were
able to get right into our scripts and some blocking all groups were
able to hand in their script planner on Monday. Today was about
reading through their script and starting to stand up and get their
blocking done. There were some groups that got a lot of blocking done
and some of their memorization. Some other groups spent most of the
class not paying attention and just reading through instead of doing
their blocking.
On Wednesday there was more productive work being done. There
were several people missing so some group had to merge together, so
that they would not be left out at all. All of the groups were able to get
a lot of their blocking done. I was able to talk to some groups about
their sight lines and their cheating. A lot of the groups and basic
blocking looked really good.
Thursday we were able to go and practice Oh Canada with the band so
that we would be performing at the same time. This went well they
were nervous the first time we did it but the second and third time
they were a lot more relaxed. We were able to get a recording of the
band playing so that when we went back to the room we were able to

practice with the black light and the gloves. This looked really good the
only thing was that a lot of them kept looking into the lights and it
gave them a bit of a head ach. This did slow us down a little so when
we come back to class on Monday we will know not to look right into
the light. The other thing that we figured out was that we are actually
going to record us performing first and get the best take and we will
then get to edit the video so that some parts really stand out so that
we can then just project it onto the screen during the calibration, and
they wont have to be up there all alone to perform. This did look and
feel to them that there was less stress and pressure on them to
perform. This also allowed them to be able to do their best
performance. I am looking forward to the final project I think that with
the end in sight a lot of them are getting excited to be done and then
see it up on the big screen and have others to see it. I also like the fact
that this way everyone see them wont so that the few that are afraid
and nervous will be more confidence.

Time

This lesson changed a lot. First we came up with a new plan all
together. We are no longer performing this live. For two reasons, first
the band will be playing and if we turn off the lights they cannot see
their music so with talking it would sound like we wound be seen and
that was not ok for some students. Second a lot of these students
suffer from anxiety and having them now preform in front of about 700
people and being seen is way to much for them to handle. So we
changed it today we actually recorded them preforming in the drama
room so that when it comes time for the calibration we can actually
watch ourselves and not have to stand in front of the whole school to
preform.
This went really well I made sure I got a lot of different takes so that I
could edit them all together. In the end I did have to edit any together
they were able to get it in one take, but I did have to sing which was
slightly embarrassing so the final video that others will see will no have
my voice but an overlay of the band playing Oh Canada.
I did send the link of the video to all the students so that they can
watch it I think that when I am done I will take all the videos that we
did and make a little montage for them with all the different times it
was done. I think that I will also add any other videos we take so that it
is more special for them.
In the end I am very happy with what they did and even if others dont
like it I think that we did awesome and are super bad a**.

-All right can everyone just comes in I would like go over
what we would like our audience to look like. We are going
to be sitting in chairs so you can organise them in any way
that you want. I would like to just go over first sight lines
when it comes to our performances.
-Can anyone tell me what sight lines are?
-Sightlines are where the audience can and cannot see. So
if you are sanding off stage in the wing you have to stand a
certain distance back so the audience cannot see you
before you enter.
-So with this information in mind how do we want our
audience to look like? Each class we are going to have time
to see two shows and one did will just be one show.
-So with that in mind I would like Death Takes a Train and
Stung to work together to create what type of audience
they would like for their performances. Looks Get in The
Way, and Worrying About the Future to get together as well
as plan what they would like their audience to look like.
That means the Trojan war you are performing on your own

-I would like to just thank you to everyone. Tomorrow we
are going to be having class awards. Everyone will get one
and I would like if you did a quick acceptance speech. It
doesnt have to be anything crazy just a thank you or
anything would be good.
-Everyone will be getting an award of a paper crane. I feel
like paper cranes are a lot like all of us. They each take
time to fold, at time they are very fragile, but at others very
strong. They look similar to the rest but they are each truly
different like each of us is. So everyone will be getting a
paper crane tomorrow as his or her award. After we are
done awards we are going to be playing Dust Balls.
