Following the Yellow Brick Road A Senior Project Gina Workman
Project Decision Process I have always wanted to teach I have always been interested in theatre Directing was the perfect mix!
The Start of the Road I contacted a couple of elementary schools I researched acting and projection games
Des Moines Elementary School Theatre Kids Club Grades 2 nd -6 th Mentor: Julie McCullough

Working With Students
Positive Outcomes Confidence grew Students became better with character development Learned theatrical terms
Struggles Faced Finding a mentor Working with the younger children Making it fun Line memorization Re-Casting Photo forms
What I Learned I like working with older kids better I am more interested in acting than directing It will not be perfect, it just has to be fun
My Future Special education major at University of Idaho Possible community theatre Assisting/Beginning another drama club
