As this is my last semester before I go into my student teaching, I need to prepare myself entirely for my future education. This past semester, I have learned what it means to be a theatre educator, as well as how to start to form a curriculum and lesson ideas for a high school classroom. I am now at a point where I need to take all the information taught to me and use it effectively. So, I plan on using this semester to write out lesson plans for a theatre classroom, using the Illinois State Standards of Theatre Education. I will read plays and find a way to teach these plays in an intriguing manner for those who might be interested in pursuing theatre as a profession. From the knowledge I gained this semester, I learned about how important it is for theatre professionals to have a wide knowledge of plays. I need to be in a constant state of reading plays that I have little knowledge of or that I think would be appropriate for a classroom. This independent study will provide me an opportunity to start to gain a knowledge of plays that I need to know if I want to consider myself a proper member of the theatre.
