A syllabus can be a pretty boring document, and going over it with your class can be equally dull. One way I've found to start expectations for my theater classes with excitement is to jazz-up my syllabus. This year, I'm giving out a mock playbill as my syllabus. After requests on Instagram, I've made the file editable and available for licensing here. This ZIP file contains two Powerpoint files: the cover and the insides. You can print your own cover or get it professionally printed (recommended). Then edit, print, and run-off your insides and assemble with a long-arm stapler. Tada! The layout of this syllabus includes space for: Cover Page Course Goals Course Materials and Cell Phone Policy Rules, Mission Statement, Grades, and Academic Integrity Sick Policy and Late Policy with Notes pages Extra Credit Show Dates Back Cover Ad Space This file is fully editable so you can replace any section to fit your needs! A PDF document with instructions includes directions for updating the cover to include your mascot and printing using Windows. I do not own a Mac and therefore cannot offer advice for printing on OS.
