Today the kids said they wanted to play Charades instead of Bullfrog so we went with it. It was a good way to get them to try to act something else, but a lot of them seemed embarrassed to participate even though they wanted to play in the first place. I think that happens a lot with our group because we have a group of girls who have formed a little clique that doesn\u2019t really buy into what we\u2019re doing, which was especially difficult today.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We were doing a run-through to try to get the kids used to Shakespeare\u2019s language and reading their lines. Most of these girls only have small roles (a couple lines or even just a non-speaking part) because they said from the beginning that they didn\u2019t want lines. Because of this, they\u2019re not as involved in what we\u2019re doing, and they can be huge distractions to the other kids. In the future, we\u2019ll need to work on trying to keep them more engaged by splitting them up and working in smaller groups.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Other than that, this week went well. We cut down the script a lot before this week, and everyone seems to be much more comfortable with their lines now that there aren\u2019t huge blocks of text. Next week we\u2019ll try to be more active and get the kids to start acting out their parts.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We had another great week with the kids.
