And I'm excited to be with you guys again.
I know yesterday we definitely talked about, um, just going
over classroom expectations.
What, like Zoom is gonna be, like, turned in classwork.
I want to go over that again for some of
us. They couldn't join us yesterday, so this video may
feel like a repeat, but pay attention because you never
know where it may pop up again.
Okay, so just follow along with me.
Today may be different in the way I present different
things. So, yeah.
Here we go.
Um, like I say yesterday, this is theater one on
one class.
It is a new experience for me to teach you
guys virtually.
I'm excited.
My hair is always on 1000.
I usually don't get brave.
I just usually that it just look crazy.
And while so, yeah, um I'm going to move on
and go to the next slide I think that's everything
that I talked about yesterday.
I'm not really sure.
Um so here we go.
So top by his own rules, these are just so
few rules that I want you to pay attention to
As we start navigating the zoom world.
I feel like if we do this, we will continue
to have so much fun, and everyone would be great.
So just to go over it.
So muting your mic and turning on your video at
certain moments I may ask you to do this is
not to embarrass you is just to engage with you
in this virtual experience because we're not in person.
Most of the stuff that we would already be doing
will be doing the same thing in class.
So all you have to do is just have fun.
Future Mike, When I tell you Muted, turn your video
when I tell you, turn your video own and engage
in that way makes you always pay attention and participate.
But this is a participation class.
It's mostly built on you participating, getting up, engaging.
I know we're not in the classroom or in the
school, but I still want you guys to feel like
you can engage and learn theater and jump up and
do different things.
So I would ask you pay attention, cause we will
also have different videos, different modules with quizzes and different
assignments. All of that is gonna be important as we
start navigating this virtual experience asking questions, yes, you can
ask whatever questions you want as long as this in
the check.
Make sure you ask questions in the chat on Lee
Onley questions.
I want to reserve that space just for questions.
Therefore, you have a question Someone else may, um, can
answer it or not that they can answer.
But I can answer, and they can see the answer
to that question.
If you do, you have anything you want to share
with us.
You could raise your hand to speak, and I will
give you that privilege just because you raise your hand
to speak.
I mean, I ask you to turn on your video.
You may be able to just tunnel your mike and
answer whatever the question is, and we go with that
and then also be respectful, being very respectful to each
other. We are a family.
We are in this together until we get back in
their school.
That's just how we communicate.
So be nice to everyone.
Everybody is gonna be in different spaces.
Everybody's gonna be having different things going on their life.
So I just want you guys to be nice to
each other and be respectful.
And half my class is going to be so much
fun. Trust me, I'm doing everything I can to make
this class for next life.

So you will see in your Google voter.
Uh um, under your class section, you'll see a theater
101 voter.
And that's where it will house all of your homework.
Um uh, Probably give you one homework assignment.
A week would be a Google form.
All you gotta do is click type it and keep
it moving.
Zone poll.
Is your classwork so like today?
Or like yesterday, when we did it?
You'll see that I'll give you a poll to do,
and you'll just answer the questions.
That's part of your participation.
Great. And also part of your life.
We is great.
So make sure that you engage knows if they probably
know screen.
Try to answer the question, trying to be here for
class because I can't repost that poll zoom participation.
That means getting in front of the camera, jumping up,
doing whatever I asked you to do whatever activity we
have. Like I said before, this is a participation class.
I really need job to get up, get to movement.
If I say get up and move, Um, yes, Every
Friday you will have a performance to do.
You will unload that performance.
You will also perform in front of the class, but
you will have on city in the Friday evening to
post your performance.
Performance is usually no longer than 32 a minute as
faras like Time West, so you should be able to
knock that out.
That is your test grade.
So you scared of being on camera?
I don't know what to tell you, because you have
to get on camera at some point, whether it's in
front of me, our friend, the class.
But all of that goes together, so make sure you
upload your performance to the Google folder, Bonus credit or
contest Tic Tacs.
If you have a tic tac.
This will be great for you.
I will.
I like to war people.
I like to give out prizes.
So I know we're virtually I won't be able to
see you in person, but you'll see in the Google
form that it would be a little, uh, message A
little check box for you to say.
If you win a prize cannot send it to your
house. So make sure that whenever I have any bonus
credit or whether it's for points or whether it is
for actual price, make sure that you, um do it.
I mean, why not?
It's free.
You know?
I want to help you guys.
What? You guys have fun.
Like I says, classes will be fine.
Um, and being off course, the lead walk theater instagram
account. That's where I showcase talent.
So it's not to say that if you don't make
it your not talented, that's just where I showcase maybe
some good videos that people might have uploaded on or
collage. You can go back to the Tic Tac or
the Instagram.
It sleepwalk theater and review past videos from other students.
So yeah, next eso Bailey this will basically be our
timeframe for him.
Like my class.
Every day I will take attendance for the first five
minutes that you that will give you time to basically
use the bathroom.
Go grab something to eat really quickly not to eat
the whole time, my class.
And also it just gives you like a like, a
few moments to just kind of breathing between sessions.
Because I know with you being the class all day
signifier of computer, it's a lot going on.
You could probably tired of it.
I would be tired of it.
I understand.
I feel your pain.
I definitely did it.
I'll take online classes right now, so I know how
hard it is.
And you're trying to get a second masses and my
teacher certification a ce far as lectures.
This is the lecture video.
So any time I'm teaching you guys, it will be
in this format.
Um, where it will be a video that you can
go back and find later in your folder.
Um, classwork and resource.
That will be 15 minutes.
So that would be some type of engaging video that
I may have you watch for some type of, um,
resource, whether it is a video is a picture or
is some type of engagement.
But that would be your class or live application is
when we turn this video off and we get up
and we do something engaging with each other.
So I'm gonna try Limit.
That's about 15 minutes a day from my class, where
we'll have the video and will be gay engaging with
each other.
And then there are many time will be a transition
and questions.
So that would be the time when you have any
questions, whether it's class related, night class related.
Or you can ask those questions at the end of
class and the and I'll also be chillin with you
until you transition to your next class on the next
teacher comes in cool.
Next, lad.
All right, So yeah, everything will be located in your
Google class on Theater 101 older.
Make sure you look at the syllabus.
Share the syllabus with your mom, your dad, your parents,
everybody make sure they know what's going on.
I also upload these lecture and resource videos for you
guys to watch so safe you miss classy whenever they
log on, you'll be able to steal.
See, these videos, which you won't be ever do, is
still participate in the poll with just part of your
class or agree.
So try to make sure that you hear every day
at the designated time for your class section.
Um, homework assignments.
Like I said, I will try and give you one
of those a week that also be located in the
Google full folder on directions for performance.
Whatever performance that we have for that week, the directions
for that performance will also be in the voter.
If I give you a theater challenge, I'm running some
type of contest.

We did a gesture.
Today you guys will be watching in the next classwork
resource video you will be watching.
Um Ah, a woman.
A woman that I created on.
And then it also have, like, a tic tac challenge
at the end of it that she could start for
this week.
First contest.
Make sure you guys engage in it.
But the reason why theatre practitioners do woman is toe
want their body and then also to locally, um, just
want their body because you like to wake up like
sometimes in your voice is real deep or you're groggy.
You gotta get that energy up, get round up so
you'll see that I have a theater warm up for
us to try and get up and do so you'll
watch the video try and pay attention to most of
it. So when we start actually getting up in doing
it for the life application car, you guys are not
like I don't know what's going on.
So yeah, like I said yesterday, I'm excited.
This year is gonna be fun, and you've got a
great theater teacher.

sure we'll be back into the schools if we're not
being weird about that next year.
But signing off?
