Theater Arts is a new class this year offered at Paris High School for juniors and seniors. Mr. Lynch is the Drama Coordinator as well as the teacher for the class. Mr. Lynch develops the students’ core acting skills and builds public speaking confidence. Generally, public speaking is the largest hurdle for most students.
Lately to build confidence, they have been video recording monologues during the 3rd hour class. This monologue allows students to practice "a hands on approach" to public speaking. Aubrie Lamb, a junior said, "It helps boost our confidence." The video allows visual opportunities of seeing themselves on screen and a method for students to review and improve upon their skills.
Mr. Lynch said, "They’re breaking legs and taking names." Next week, they plan to be doing radio dramas. At the end of the semester, they will be presenting one act plays in the evening. If you're a junior or senior next year, keep this class in mind when planning your schedule!
