Okay, so what’s the deal for Thursday & Friday?

First Thing in the A.M.

• If your Dinner Party is in the morning, please take perishables to the fridge in A103. You may store your costume in A105. Non-perishables will go in Mrs. Wood’s room.

• If your dinner party is in the afternoon, all costumes and food will go upstairs in A208. The fridge will be available for perishables.

When 4th/5th Period Starts…

• You may get your costume and go change.

• Put food in the oven, if needed.

• Get food from fridge and bring to volunteers in Mrs. Wood’s room.

• Come back to class when you are done.

• DO NOT leave the bathrooms a mess!!

Once You Come Back

• Find your place card at one of the tables and sit in that seat.

• You may not change to another table. Your seats have been assigned based on your characters.

• You are free to converse freely with the others at your table until the party begins.

• Once you come in the room, you are in character.

• We will take a group photo first.

Once The Party Begins

• There will be a slide show that guides you through everything, but the basic format will be:

• Introductions

• Table: Questions for discussion, & Eating

Manners

• You are expected to use your best manners.

• Gentlemen, you are expected to pull out a ladies chair and help her up.

So What Do I Need to Bring?

What happens if I forget something else?

• Costume- will affect your overall grade for the dinner party (See Rubric)

• Food or Party Item- you will first need to wait until everyone who brought something eats.
