My first milestone date was set for this week (or the week of November 21, 2011) and I have pretty much gotten ahead and accomplished it pretty early. I needed to finalize the play that I want to do because I needed to get all the copyright details over with to proceed on the project. What I plan for this is since I chose The Cat in the Hat as my play and it is a book, I will write my own script for it over the Thanksgiving Break, so that although I will need to acknowledge that the story isn't mine, I will not need to do any legal work for the script copyrights.
With that all taken care of, the other main thing that I needed to get done by this milestone date was to tell either Ms. Gilman or Mr. Kelly (whoever I got a hold of first) about my project and present a rationale and proposal for the positive effects my project would have on the environment of our school. In the proposal, I said that this project would give students who have talents outside of STEM education subjects to show them to other people who might not know of them as well as that it would be a good bonding opportunity between the students of this school. I have given my papers to Mr. Kelly, and he has said he will give me the details tomorrow (on November 22) about what he thinks and suggests for my project.
I have started to spread the word about my play (although I am keeping it kind of low in case I am not allowed to do this project) by asking my friends the following: 1) if they want to join, 2) if they know anyone who might be interested in volunteering backstage or performing, and 3) if they would like to help in the future but aren't sure yet. I already have many people who are eager to help me (Chandler Neames has said she could do make-up, and Haley Silvernale has said she would love to help with costumes), and I am not only excited to see how my project will turn out, but also proud I have chosen a topic that many students here seem to enjoy.
November 22: Mr. Kelly said he was very interested in my project, and he gave me few tasks to complete before I started doing anything too big. He wants me to get the signatures from all of the adults that will be helping me throughout this project as well as create a calendar of dates for when I would meet with my helpers and actors so that they can be informed along with the people helping me with venues.
