I think that one of our group's strengths was our use of props. We used pencils, paper, a notebook(for Lily's sign), and some of us even used our own shoes(Jordan). Even though they are small, these props, I think, helped to set the scene well. The pencils and paper helped the scene to have a classroom-type vibe. Also, Hannah used one of the pencils to break it and throw it, which I think contributed to the comedy theme and her character's personality. Lily's sign and Jordan using his shoes really just made the scene a lot more funny. I also think they all did a really great job of improvising.

One actor that I thought did really well in their acting was the role played by Amelia. Even though the director's version of the diologue might have helped with this, she really showed her character's personality. It was like she took on this character as her own self, and she did it really well. Another character that I think acted really well was on...
