Carol came up from Phoenix today for a beginning workshop and then tomorrow will be the advanced one. I apologize to those in the Denver area for not mentioning it sooner but you can still come tomorrow, no matter what level you are at with CI. I think it’ll be worth it. Last year we had Jason in for two days. If you can make it tomorrow on such short notice, it’s in Room 5 at Thomas Jefferson High School on Happy Canyon Road, from 8 to 3:30. I think I can get any fees waived through Diana.
Today Carol explained Reader’s Theatre. Clearly. Remember last year when Jason did RT? It’s like, how’d he do that? But with Carol she gave bullet points and we practiced in groups and I am a lot less afraid of it now. I don’t think RT is the big conundrum that we made it out to be last spring in a series of posts that didn’t really get us to a final version – we all seemed to back off of it last spring.
I am particularly hopeful that once we see the simplicity of RT, we will be able to blend it into our general work with R and D. RT will illustrate and expand and embellish any R and D class. I think it’s going to be a winner for us. Once we get the format clearly described here, we can get serious about it. For me, so much of what we are doing right now has to do with a movement away from stories to reading. We’ll see.
And now, with jGR pretty much in final form and rSF in the works and taking real form as we go through January, we can add RT to our current list of things we want to get hammered out and going in our classes. Carol is going to send me the slides from her presentation and I will put that information up here to start things off.
Then we can take the RT posts from last spring and combine them with what we got today (Carol won’t have time for any RT practice tomorrow, but I think we can get some video on it here to learn that way), and we can put all the stuff we have on RT together so that we have at least an initial version of RT in an assimilable form in a month or so.
Another work in progress is the PLC Gold hard link suggested by James. I will take all that information and try to get that done in the next months. So we can look forward to final versions of:
- jGR
- rSF
- RT
- PLC Gold
here at some point this spring. Meanwhile, keep sending in ideas on whatever you want. Let’s roll through the snow and get ready for a great spring!
