Future Problem Solvers Club
December 5th, Bellaire High School's Future Problem Solvers Club held a Scenario Performance Workshop on campus. David Rainey, the Executive Artistic Director of The Landing Theatre Company, Brendan Bourque-Sheil, the Literary Associate for The Landing Theatre, and Rebecca Rock, a sophomore at HSPVA, shared their professional knowledge and experience with the students. The students had hands-on practice with script writing, storytelling, and acting. Many of them said that the biggest thing they learned was how to address audience awareness.
Scenario Performance can develop and sustain the oral tradition of storytelling, as well as thinking skills. If you would like to compete in the coming year, please go to www.bellairefps-scenarioperformance.strikingly.com and sign up for Scenario Performance.

Study Tips to Prepare for Finals
What is retrieval practice and how can it help you on your finals?
Retrieval practice involves recreating something you've learned in the past from your memory, and thinking about it right now. In other words, a while after you've learned something by reading it in a book or hearing it in a class or from a teacher, you need to bring it to mind (or "retrieve" it). The work after is really important; you need to forget the information at least a little in order for retrieval to be effective! You don't want to just immediately recite what you see in the book or what the teacher told you, but rather you want to bring the information to mind on your own, once it starts to get a little more difficult to remember what you studied.
What happens when you practice retrieval?

National Impaired Driving Prevention Month
In 2012, President Obama designated December as National Impaired Driving Prevention Month to promote responsible decision-making and encourage young people to live free of drugs and alcohol.
December seems particularly suited to this because traffic fatalities that involve impaired drivers increase significantly during the holiday period.
In December, an average of
25
people a day die in alcohol-related crashes, and the highest percentage of impaired drives are ages 21 to 34. Read more here.
