Guilds!

Last night (4/19/17) we had our guilds! Over the course of 6th grade we have been studying medieval life and we learned about all different guild types. Then we were sorted into our guilds, and I was put in the Medicine guild. I chose to be a bonesetter apothecary. On the night of the guild we had already done a dress rehearsal for the 5th graders and we were all set and ready to go at our stations in our rooms.I had a lot of herbs laid out on my table as well as some recipes, aloe plants, cooked apples, pieces of felt and wooden dowels. At about 6:10 people started to pour into our room picking out their ailments and wandering around the room. At some points I had 6 or 7 people crowded around my small desk toughing my props and knocking over things but that only helped me get more into character. I had a monologue rehearsed and ready to go, but I found myself only using it on about two customers. By the end of the night I had come up with a completely knew monologue that I had memorized and I used that one instead. It worked much better than the original because it was shorter and I could put more energy into it also. As I stood behind my desk I felt my feet grow tired and my neck grow hot but the rest of my body was feeling more and more confident and excited. At the beginning of the night I felt like I was Stella Story, but by the end I felt like Agnes Grimmoult.
