Our first meeting with our group was pretty chaotic. The kids were all together in the room, so there were a lot of side comments and they really struggled to stay focused. The kids were funny and seemed somewhat interested, but it was really hard to get and keep their attention for any extended period of time. It was nice having a teacher in the room with them, but she wasn’t particularly effective in getting them to focus. We started by introducing ourselves and we tried to give a basic rundown of the project and the plot. We tried to go more in-depth about our scene and what we are doing, but it was difficult to see if they understood what we were saying and if they understood the plot at all. My group has discussed having a more structured plan going forward and sending their teacher a brief synopsis and character list before our next meeting so that the basic ideas of the play stay fresh in their heads. I think that will greatly help the success of our sessions going forward. From an overall communication standpoint, we had a much more difficult time than I was expecting, but I think we will get the hang of it going forward and as we get more comfortable with the kids and the virtual setting.
