Teacher Feedback performance (individual)

Arielle nice work with your customer character. I like that you thought your character through to the point of disliking the shoe sales assistant and demanding I want rainbow shoes! though you could have made it all a lot bigger and been even more in character. Great that you followed the task and used a Malcolm in the Middle moment make this really clear next time because its your moment for your character to share their inner thoughts and feelings, so either step forward, change your body or speak out very loudly next time because we dont want to miss your fantastic thoughts! You were engaged in rehearsals and worked well with your peers. Lovely work!
