Theatre of the Mind: Food for Thought
Working from authentic 16th century recipes Secondary One scholars created Shakespearean/Elizabethan Era dishes. The dishes were prepared at home and brought to the Theatre of the Mind class to share with their peers. Each scholar researched the dish and its elements. The project afforded scholars the opportunity to explain the history of their recipe and how Shakespeare was connected to the dish.

Secondary One Workshop Series: Exploring Shakespeare
The HYSA workshop course, "Exploring Shakespeare," commemorated the 450th anniversary of Shakespeare’s birth by introducing students to the language of the Bard. Through the application of practical drama methodology students discovered some of the potential of Shakespeare's monologues, soliloquies, and scenes. With this performance and discussion approach, students had the opportunity to expand their creativity, as well as skills in verbal and nonverbal communication.
