Continue research.

Come to class on Thursday with your research finished.


September 28
1) Warm up  - Emotion

Notes from video:
*7 Universal emotions: joy, grief, fear, anger, surprise, love, laughter (people display these emotions in a similar way), 
* Emotions scale,  
* An emotion brings you on to a scene, 
*Live the emotion as you - that's the authentic bit of you that you bring into the story . . . 

September 29
1) Write reflection on the Emotion warm-up.  (This is Criterion B - Developing skills      Exploring new techniques). Some topics you might address are: What did you do?  What did you learn?  How will that warm-up help you with your acting?  Did you like the warm-up? Why or Why not? Explain.

2) Using your research write an essay that examines the following question:  Why is Mary Shelley's Frankenstein still relevant today?   Use subject-specific language, include background information (what was going on in society?), mention genre, mention themes).

Criterion Ai, Aii:
  • Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the art form studied in relation to societal, cultural, historicl and personal contexts,
