Theatre Arts Period:

Would you please tell me a little about yourself?
1. Have you taken speech or drama before? Tell me the what, where, and when of any and all courses, plays, contests, etc. in which you've been involved. (If drama is new for you, tell me about your favorite extracurricular activity or hobby outside of school--whatever it is!)

2. What do you hope this class will be like? How involved do you plan to be in drama after school?

3. What is your biggest worry about this class?

4. What do you think you are really good at? (This means anything--school-¬related or in life .)

S. What quality do you like or appreciate most in a teacher?

6. What makes you try your hardest at something?

7. What makes you give up or get lazy?

8. What do you like to do that requires time and effort but no one has to make you do?

9. On a scale of 0-100, give yourself a grade for self-discipline.

10. What do you think I will like most about you as an individual person (not necessarily a student's trait)?

Tomorrow, please bring to class:
