2310 Beginning Acting: Improvisational Theater and Acting
5 units	2310.1	T/TH, 8:30-12:00	Staff	$407
5 units	2310.2	T/F, 1:00-4:30	Gary Graves	$407
Nobody hands you a script for life--you have to improvise your way through it. In this course, through improvisational scene work, theater games, and story telling, students will develop their ability to act and interact freely and perceptively. They will have the opportunity to study acting techniques and work at short scenes, learning to trust their abilities in new, untried situations, and taking risks that help develop confidence in their ability to think on their feet, whether in school, social or dramatic situations. They will also discover how to become more aware of their environment and how to be supportive of others. Improvisational theater helps students expand their creativity and, therefore, influences every area of life and studies. Homework per class meeting: 2 hours

2311 Introduction to Drawing and Design
10 units MWF, 8:30-12:00 Marie Alice L'Heureux $582
In this class students will develop their observational as well as their drawing and design skills through the use of various media. Observation, drawing and painting are the first steps to composition, color, mood, and concepts. This course will give students the tools they need to convey their ideas through drawing. Students will explore form, color, and graphic design through various media such as pencils, charcoal, pen and ink, pastel, watercolors, and clay to create drawings, paintings, sculptures, block prints, collages and pastiches. Students will work from nature, models, and their imaginations. Assignments will include: self portraits; sketches of familiar, favorite, and unusual objects; pastiches of Piranesi drawings; collages; textile design; drawings of imaginary creatures and cartoons; and illustrations of a children's book.
Classes will include: in-class exercises and drawing from nature and in the studio; lectures and presentations on the history of art and design; reviews and critiques of student work by local artists; visits to local museums and galleries; and guest lectures. No previous drawing experience is necessary.
Homework per class meeting: 3-5 hours

2313 Playwriting Workshop
5 units M/Th, 8:30-12:00 John Levine $407
FOR STUDENTS WHO HAVE COMPLETED GRADE 9 AND UP This course will focus on reading and writing plays. Playwriting experience is not required, though students should have an interest in theater and/or creative writing. We will read and discuss a number of published plays each week, and students will also work on their own scripts that will be workshopped in class. Students will give one another feedback on their written works-in-progress and will use this feedback to revise their scripts. At the end of the course, we will present a "staged reading" series of student plays written over the course of the summer.
Homework per class meeting: 3-5 hours

2321 First-Year Latin
10 units MWF, 8:30-12:00 Anatoly Gabelko $582
FOR STUDENTS WHO HAVE COMPLETED GRADE 7, 8, OR 9
First-Year Latin, an introductory course equivalent to a full year of high school Latin, emphasizes acquiring vocabulary and structure in order to read and translate in Latin. In addition to the complete First-Year Latin curriculum, students focus on: acquiring an understanding of Latin and of how language works; learning grammar and basic linguistic concepts through the medium of a foreign language; becoming aware of the process that is language; working to develop strong study habits, such as strategies for learning a language and acquiring vocabulary; and generalizing what has been learned and applying that knowledge to English and other languages.
Homework per class meeting: 5-6 hours

2323 First-Year Latin
10 units MWF, 8:30-12:00 Edan Dekel $582
FOR STUDENTS WHO HAVE COMPLETED GRADE 9, 10, OR 11
(Same as course #2321, except for the grade level prerequisite and instructor.)

2324 Second-Year Latin
10 units MWF, 1:00-4:30 Anatoly Gabelko $582
Second-Year Latin continues the thorough grammar presentation of First-Year Latin. The first half of the course is devoted to reinforcement and review, and stresses participles, gerunds, and forms and uses of the subjunctive. By the end of Lesson 20 students are prepared to read the section on Caesar's Gallic War. The second half of the course focuses on an anthology of Latin readings.
Homework per class meeting: 5-6 hours
Prerequisite: Satisfactory completion of First-Year Latin or permission of the Director.

2325 First-Year German
10 units T/Th, 8:30-12:00 Anatoly Gabelko $582
Note: A language lab will be required once a week, 1:00-4:30.
First-Year German is an introductory course, equivalent to a full year of high school German. The course introduces the written and spoken language and its grammar and structure, as well as German culture and history.
Homework per class meeting: 5-6 hours

2326 First-Year Japanese
10 units MWF, 1:00-4:30 Yuriko Caltabiano $582
This course is based on a fun, relaxed, playful, and effective approach to learning Japanese. This method is a synthesis of many innovative teaching techniques developed to help accelerate students' language learning. The two major components of this course are: (1) acquisition of basic communication skills of elementary Japanese and (2) learning hiragana and katakana syllabaries as well as some kanji characters. The language is taught multimodally: lots of physical movement, use of pictures and graphics, conversation practices, story telling, and some story creating. Students also learn about modern Japanese life. This course is equivalent to one year of high school Japanese.
Homework per class meeting: 5-6 hours

2327 Second-Year Japanese
10 units MWF, 8:30-12:00 Yuriko Caltabiano $582
Using a multi-modal approach, we will begin where we left off in First-Year Japanese. The course will include a comprehensive review of katakana and kanji we have already learned, and the introduction of much more kanji. Emphasis will be placed on consolidation of listening and speaking skills; the additional grammar and constructions will advance students' understanding even further. In addition to our focus on learning the language, we will learn about culture and customs in contemporary Japanese life. This course covers the full content of second-year high school Japanese and will use the text Yookoso (An Invitation to Japanese).

2329 Spanish-American Literature and Grammar
10 units MWTh, 8:30-12:00 Maria Enriques $582
This course is designed to give students a comprehensive survey of the rich literary legacy of Latin American writers. It will include folktales from the oral tradition, short works of fiction and non-fiction, poetry, excerpts from novels, and dramatic works. Through readings, discussions, oral reports, and the completion of a research paper on selected authors, students will gain a deeper appreciation of the cultural background of the various representative writers from the colonial to contemporary periods.
Prerequisites: Spanish is your first language or you have completed three years of Spanish or permission of the Director.
Homework per class meeting: 5-6 hours
