This Dual Enrollment class is paced to align with THR120 offered through Southern Union. This is a theatre appreciation course equivalent.
Students will be enrolled in my google classroom for specific assignment and course information, but this page will be updated with summaries of the learning planned each week.
April 25-May 6th - WE are reading! We should finish by next Thursday to review for our exam before our sweet seniors leave on the 6th! The Juniors will enjoy a follow up Harry Potter Movie our last week without seniors.
April 12th-April 21st - Students will be writing their comparison essays in class (April 22nd we begin reading Harry Potter)
Week 29 - 32 - Students are preparing to read Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. The plot reorders events of the past. Students who have never read Harry Potter will get a chance to meet the characters and students who know them well will recall their relationships and events. Because prior knowledge is critical to understanding the play, as it rewrites history and changes the course of relationships, students will watch the first three movies.
