The sixth grade has been doing a Greek unit. Blythe has been learning all about Greek gods and goddesses. The culminating activity for the Green unit is a short play each class puts on. Blythe's class has been working on Echo and Narcissus, and Blythe has the part of Hera, Queen of the Gods. She has been rehearsing her lines with us and working on her queenly attitude.
Today was the big performance. Kent, Cora, Grandma Sue, and I all attended. Blythe did a fantastic job. In the play, Hera is angry with Echo because she talks too much and hid her (Hera's) husband, Zeus, and curses her. She is irritated, then angry, then revengeful, then stomps off, stage right. Blythe performed it all beautifully, giving Echo a steely stare I have seen many a time before. She was confident, spoke clearly, and made us proud. It was so fun to see her on stage, and so fun that the play as a whole went so well.
That is a steely stare!
Zeus (Zion) and Hera
