5/15 - Performance Project.  Groups are:

Will/Chris/Richard – 2.1

Brittney/Sidney – 2.4 (1^st)

Toni/Gage/McKayla – 2.4 (2^nd)

Dan/Tyler/Jenna – 3.1 (1^st)

Megan/Bethany/Macey – 4.5 (2^nd)

Nick/Cody/Evan – 5.3 (1^st)

Sam R/Jake/Zach – 5.3 (2^nd)

Groups were assigned partly by student request.  As much as possible, I kept students with others they chose to work with.  There were several exceptions to this, but any differences between student choice was weighed against the needs of the classroom as a whole.

Groups will begin performing after the play has ended.   Some time will be given in class to prepare.
