Gifted News: Week of January 19-22

This week the students and I focused on emotions, and how actors can use their knowledge of emotions to better portray their character.  We looked at a list of emotions and discussed the ones we were unfamiliar with.  We talked about strategies to determine the meaning of an unfamiliar emotion.  We also practiced showing emotions.  I think the students are really going to be able to incorporate this knowledge into their portrayal of their characters.
