Do Now 12/14

If I was given an invisible cloak for a day I would do many good deeds anonymously. Apart from pulling pranks on a few of my friends, doing something good to the community will hopefully be helpful to society. I would go around placing snacks and other foods on plates for the homeless people or stray animals. Feeding the poor is something I don't feel comfortable doing if they're watching me. The invisibility cloak would help with that struggle. I could also slide small positive notes inside lockers. A small compliment could make someone's day.

With the power to be invisible, I would help pick up garbage in the town. A clean place to live in is a better place to live in. Of course, if I'm invisible, babysitting would be a bit odd. Imagine randomly seeing a baby floating in mid air. Instead, I would help make dinner, maybe even set the table and do other chores for my household. My mother would definitely be happy about that. When the day is over and the invisibility cloak will be gone, I can proudly look back on my good deeds that I have done today. Hopefully I helped our community in a way.

     If I were to add a class it would be a class for future actors and actresses. Unlike the drama club it will not be held after school and there will be no large school production. This class will be held in a 45 minute period during the school day. Students are able to pick if they would like to join this class, just like all their other extra curriculum classes. The classroom will always be filled with light and ideas. Future Broadway and TV stars will be born. If you enjoy acting then this classroom will most likely feel like the place you belong in.
    Students would learn about old and new play writers and their favorite actors/actresses. They will learn the knowledge of the first old movies and famous old actors. We would create our own skits and plays and perform them in front of our class. We would also create our own short films, any genre. Class trips would consist of movie theaters and Broadway plays.
