- Your completed evaluation from partner with signature. (10% of Major Grade)

Be creative! If you need help with ideas, I have a list- just ask! Remember,
your ideas must be approved. Be sure to include a lot of facial expression
and physical movements. Remember, pantomime is conveyed through facial
expression, movement and gestures. Be sure to be simple, clear and
specific. The grading rubric is attached for your reference.

Extra Credit: If you successfully set your pantomime to music, you can receive a
free 100 daily grade. The music MUST be approved and there can be NO words
in the music- only instrumental. See the teacher for more details.

This is a MAJOR GRADE. Please use your class time wisely!
