Hello again!

Let' see. Vera, I hope you' ll be there next Wednesday. Please, wear something that makes you look like a hunter prince. It would be nice if you found a hat and maybe you can borrow a bow and arrows. Boots are a good idea too.

Dwarfs might wear something colorful if possible. I'll help with the hats. And make sure you know your lines. That's the most important thing. It wouldn't look good if you had to read during the performance.

The Old woman should bring a basket for the apples. And I can't think of anything else, but you're welcome to add any ideas if you have them.

See you Wednesday.

1.Characters: Snow White and the Hunter (Sandra and Miriam).

2. Characters: the 4 dwarfs and Snow White (Nico, Victor, Jorge, Miriam and Sandra).

Scene in the Dwarfs' house, in the kitchen.
1. Characters: the 4 dwarfs and Snow White (Nico, Victor, Jorge, Miriam and Sandra).

2. Characters: The Old Woman and Snow White ( Rachel and Sandra).

Scene in the cave: 
1. Characters:The Prince & Snow White (Vera and Sandra).

I certainly hope that tomorrow you will know most of your lines. It is necessary. Otherwise you won't have time to rehearse your acting: I mean, you intonation, your attitude, the faces you make.

No excuses! You need to study the lines and memorize them.

Last week we talked about books and films.  The first question you had to answer was:

Have you seen .... ( Star Wars, Matilda, etc.)?

That is the Present Perfect and we use it to talk about experience.

The short answer we use when somebody asks a question in the Present Perfect is:

Yes, I have.

or

No, I haven't.

Because have is the auxiliary.


Important words and expressions we use when talking about films or books:

science fiction
horror
romantic comedy
fantasy
adventure
comedy
thriller
character
main character
What's it about?
It's about...
