WHAT DO I NEED TO GET STARTED IN CLASS?

WHAT DO I NEED TO GET STARTED?????

This is the most popular question I get asked at the beginning of each school year.  Over the years, I have tried different methods of presenting the list of what students need in many different ways, but somehow, it always gets messed up. Here is another try:

·      One 1 inch3 ring binder or section in a larger binder with loose leaf paper. 

From time to time, I will distribute handouts in class and students need a place to put them where they will remain in good shape..  The best way to keep up with handouts and class notes is in a 3 ring binder. If you are using another large binder for all your  subjects, please create a section in the binder for Drama class.

·      Many Pencils & Erasers.

In the Theater we make mistakes, we change our minds, we decide to do things differently. We must also write where to move onstage and where to enter or exit. Because of this, we must write in pencil to as not to have ugly scratch marks all over the papers. Class notes and class work should be done in pencil.  Assignments that are to be turned in should either be in blue or black pen or typed. Journals can be written in whatever you prefer.

·      $20 dues in cash/check/money order made payable to William McKinley I.S. 259 .

Unfortunately, the Performing Arts all count as extra subjects and in order to provide materials for each student such as individual copies of books and scripts, extra props and costume pieces, it is necessary that we charge each student a fee for our classes. Exceptions can be made on a case by case basis, but it is necessary for the student to come and speak with me individually to deal with that.
