TYPE TO LEARN 4 - Download for home - October 4, 2011 - ebachman
One major component of Computer Technology is the daily keyboarding instruction and assessment. Students use the program Type to Learn 4 as a guide in their keyboarding practice, and this program is also available for student to download and access from home using an internet connection. Use the link and follow the “Student Use at Home Procedures” to download this program for access at home: http://ttl4.sunburst.com/downloads The LGA account code is: 131097

Students can access their accounts by using the same log in and passwords they use to log onto computers here at LGA. Usernames are first initial and last name, passwords are their 6 digit birthday. Using that format, mine would be: ebachman AND 080683.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions: ebachman@lgamn.org
Daily Lessons - October 4, 2011 - ebachman
I am trying a new format for sharing my daily lessons with students & parents. I am using Google Docs to share this information, so instead of posting something weekly – I will be sharing a real-time document that provides up to date information on our daily lessons. Use the link below to check out what we have been up to in tech class.

HERE is the link to see my daily lessons.

Again, I thought I would try something new to get you the most up to date information, but would love feedback from you! Please let me know if this format is confusing or not user friendly. Thank you!

Theater Stagecraft Syllabus

What’s New In Theater Stagecraft

Constructing Alice - April 4, 2012 - Ms. Prill
The Stagecraft class has been plugging along building flats (painted backgrounds), platforms, rose bushes and more for the upcoming play, Alice in Wonderland. They have had the opportunity to learn how to use electric and battery-powered drills, a router, electric sanders, and even a miter (chop) saw. And the only causalities are a some of Ms. Palmer’s clothing- she can’t stay away from that red paint! I am amazed on a daily basis how willing and able this fine crew is working and can’t wait to see how the set, props and costumes all turn out!
Prezis - February 10, 2012 - Ms. Prill
Here are two Prezis (presentations) about 1.) Theater Architecture and 2.) Four Main Types of Theaters.

Preparing for "Alice in Wonderland" Design and Construction - January 31, 2012 - Ms. Prill
The Stagecraft class will have several assignments related to the design and production of “Alice in Wonderland,” Lionsgate’s Spring Play. In order to make educated decisions regarding their design choices, it is important that students have a full sense of the story. For that reason, they will be reading segments from Lewis Carrol’s “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland” and “Through the Looking Glass, and What Alice Found There.”

They may access the texts, online and for free here: Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland Through the Looking Glass There are many other versions available, including audio readers, but this version has a nice look with illustrations. Students can download MP3 or iPod audio versions here, if they would prefer to listen to the text: Alice in Wonderland Audio Through the Looking Glass
Welcome! - January 30, 2012 - Ms. Prill
Theater Stagecraft is a new class this semester at Lionsgate Academy. The class will be starting off with a brief exploration of Theater Architecture and the different types of stage designs.
