Things (this) Teacher Loves to Hear....

In a week, this cycle will be finished. No more Dramatic Literature. No more Musical Theater History. New classes, new beginnings, new chances for success. A chance to start over. Again.

So as we do our final resuscitation dance (or, as some of us like to call it, "How do we get to a 65?") here are a few things to remember us by:

"Ms. Jamie gets mad tight when you say gay. "

"Ms. Jamie, please don't skip any more parts in Rent. I wanna watch the WHOLE thing."

"Does everybody in Rent have AIDS?"

(In reference to the character of Angel in Rent) :"That's a GIRL?!!"

"Ms. Jamie, can I borrow Rent? I want to watch it home."

****

"Abigail is a smut."

"These girls are OD!"

(In reference to Elizabeth's Proctor's decision in The Crucible): "Oh, she better tell the truth. Jamie, does she tell the truth? OMG. I'm getting tight."

"Nooooooooo!!!!" (In reference to when I turned the film off.)

"Are we gonna watch it today? Can I borrow it? I can't wait till tomorrow."

"Oh, is a theme about choice like when Lady Macbeth chooses to kill herself? Or Macbeth chooses to kill Duncan? Or when he chooses to kill Banquo cause he's paranoid?"

"Oh, can I use this one? When John Proctor chooses to tell the truth and that shows his loyalty to his wife? Oh and the choice of the girls to lie?"
