characters, and showing emotions.

moving on stage and working well with others.
- I need to be a good team member and help the group do their best.

3. Finishing Assignments and Projects:

costumes.

things I did well in theatre.

Mr. Alway (Papa Joe) will watch me in class, during performances, and when I participate. He
will also look at my written work, assignments, and projects. He might use special sheets or
checklists to help me with feedback and be fair. It's important for me to listen to the feedback I
get and use it to get better. I should think about what I'm good at and what I can improve. When
