Extra Credit Assignment


This Is It: Michael Jackson Movie 
Extra Credit Instructions:

- Go see the movie in movie theaters
- Type a 2 page, single spaced, 5 paragraph essay (introduction, 3 developed paragraphs, conclusion) answering the following questions about the film:
  1. What made Michael Jackson so successful? Give specific examples from the film.
  2. Write about your own reaction to and/or impression of the film, Michael Jackson himself, and the film in general.
Be completing this extra credit project your student will be able to "fill in" a lot of the missing scores on his/her grade. There is no due date... I will accept it starting now and until the end of the quarter. If your student has any questions regarding the content of this paper or needs some more explaining then feel free to have them come talk to me one-on-one before or after school; I am here to help and only want their success!

Why am I proposing such a project? I am so passionate about this film! It shows an inside look at all of the collaboration, hard work, talent, commitment, and responsibility it takes to produce such an amazing show! These are all the things I have been trying to teach theatre students throughout the year, and through watching this film they have a "front row seat" to all of these fundamental processes.

Talk Back Session / Stage Tour


Today students from Dixie Middle were able to go up to Dixie High to watch their fall performance of the musicalSeven Brides for Seven Brothers.



After the performance, DMS students participated in a talk back session held with Mr. Saxton (Drama Director of DHS) and the cast/crew of the show. DMS students were able to ask questions to Mr. Saxton and the cast and get a "behind the scenes" tour of the stage and scene shop.




What a wonderful experience it was for them! They have so much to be excited for as enter high school and become involved in the theatre program that is so strong! I am glad we were able to arrange such an educational experience for them... collaboration between the middle school and high school can never be a bad thing right? Oh yeah... we had yummy donuts too!
