I am ready to start my class at Muir Middle School, but am having some thoughts of when to begin. I did go observe this class , which is a Drama class but as I sat in the class I was uncomfortable in taking away from their already focused art form. At first, I felt like this because the teacher, Mrs. Diaz wanted me to help her choreograph for the play that they are working on. It seemed like they have limited amount of time to practice as is, and I didn't know how to approach the situation. As I discussed this situation with Amy, she suggested that it would only be beneficial to teach them the art form because all theater person- ell need to have some kind of background on dance. She also explained to me that I was not there to be their personal choreographer but that I was there to teach the art - form of dance. The only thing with Muir is that they will soon be going on break so I am unsure if I should begin now or start after the kids come back from vacation. Maybe I can get the input of my fellow classmates. I wanted to teach a sample class like I did at Miliken to see how perceptive the kids are of my art form.
So thus far, I have not started on my project yet. I am debating on when I should begin and how the scheduling is going to work out with the students block, period, and track schedule.
