    Acting is a creative medium developed to communicate the ideas and thoughts of another.

    It is a collaborative process where you learn to attune your mind, body, and voice to the

    demands of acting. There are principles to study and apply to achieve this endeavor so

    that you may take your place in the spotlight of life.

    Grades

    ; All performances require tough rehearsal time as well as lines memorized. This

    activity is part of the daily class work and will be graded accordingly. ; Because Acting is a performance oriented class, each student is expected to

    perform. There are usually not as many grades and therefore, it is imperative that

    students attempt all assignments.

    ; No student will ever be compared to another’s talent. Grading is based upon the

    completion of the specific objectives and the student’s individual improvement or

    progress.

    ; Grades are based on a total point system containing performances, tests, quizzes,

    written assignments, and daily activities.

    ; Points are assigned projects based on the complexity of the skill learned to

    complete the project.

    ; Late assignments will not be accepted for any reason other than excused absences.

    Absences

    ; Rules concerning absences will be followed in the handbook. Missed assignments

    are your responsibility. Do not rely on another classmate to clue you in on what

    was done the days you missed.

    ; Because this class moves quickly and the projects are numerous, it is very

    important for you to be here.

    Late Work

    ; Late work will only be accepted with a 20% reduction from the marked grade.

    Considerations

; Respect all property/people.

    ; Listen carefully to the instructions/discussions. NO SLEEPING!

    ; Obey all school policies.

    ; Come to class prepared to work.

    ; No gum, candy, food, or drinks in the classroom unless told otherwise. ; The hall pass must accompany privileges to the library/other locations, restroom,

    and drinks.

    ; No electronic devices in class unless told otherwise.

    Discipline

    ; Should issues of improper conduct arise; the policies in the handbook will be

    followed. This may include the use of alternative studies/classrooms, parental

    contact, or a visit to the office.

    Communication

    ; If you need to speak to me about matters concerning the class or just need

    someone to talk to, I will be available before or after school. My plan period will

    be third hour during the fall and fourth hour during the spring. ; Parents/guardians may access the web site portal anytime to view the progress of

    their child.
