This lesson is for : Grade 7:
Summary
Students take what they have learned about theater, lighting, music, set design, costume, makeup, teamwork, and audience to put on a real “haunted house” during our annual Boo Bash Dance. The students build the set, pick the costumes and props, do each other’s makeup, pick the music, and create the design for this creepy experience. Students each have a role to fulfil during the haunted house which runs for an hour. The students scare the student body and give them an authentic experience.
