Complete this Google Form. STEP 2 Make a copy of this Google Doc. Name your copy: (Your First and Last Name)-Cultural Mask Research Share this document with Ms. Francavillo. STEP 3 Begin your research! You will keep track of your research on the document that you copied. Make sure to cite where your information came from. For this project, please provide the title of the website you are using, as well as the website link. Do not rely on Wikipedia! Try to find sources that are credible and reliable. I suggest Google Scholar, Encyclopedia Britannica, and the UNESCO website. Remember, reliable sources usually end in .edu or .gov! RESEARCH IS DUE WEDNESDAY MARCH 6 AT THE END OF THE PERIOD. With your group today, you should make sure to do the following things:
1. Assign roles and read through the script once without stopping. 2. Make any changes to your script. When you read it out loud for the first time, you will start noticing what makes sense, what DOES NOT make sense, and what things could be made better! 3. Continue the editing process until your team is happy with the product. Your final script should be easy to understand and have a clear plot. The audience should be able to follow along easily, be able to tell who your tragic hero is, and understand the story. 4. Create any props or masks your team will need with paper. I will have some materials out for you to choose from. Please be gentle while using my supplies. If you are making masks, try to create a mask that reflects the CHARACTER! 5. Figure out entrances, exits, and movement. Decide where your actors are going to stand "on stage," where they are going to enter and exit, and if they are going to move around at all. Adjust your stage directions to include these actions. 6. Practice! You do not need to memorize your lines, but remember that this is ENTERTAINMENT! It's okay to get dramatic here! 7. If your group is intending on using any music, remember that it MUST be approved by me. EXPECTATIONS All group members must contribute and participate. If any member of any group is not completing their fair share of the work, or is disrupting the group's progress and success, they will receive a referral on Deans List. Please remember that this is a GRADED CLASS and that the work you do in here MATTERS, even if it is creative and artistic. Art matters to the world, and it deserves your attention. STEP 1: If you have not already submitted the Google Form, please go back to DAY 1 and complete it ASAP.

For African Theatre, please use these links instead: http://www.critical-stages.org/15/the-roots-of-african-theatre-ritual-and-orality-in-the-pre-colonial-period/ Careers in Theatre https://finearts.utexas.edu/sites/files/cofa/theatre_career_guide_july_2015.pdf Instead of 4 categories, please list 4 SKILL TYPES. We have finally finished the play! I hope you all enjoyed your first exploration of a Shakespearean play.
You have 3 choices for your next project. Please choose ONE. Projects will be due on November 30th (the Friday after we come back from Thanksgiving). Projects are worth 40% of your class grade. Option 1 "On the Balcony of Love" Step 1. Go back and re-read the balcony scene (Act II, Scene II). As you read, take notes on examples of figurative language (simile, metaphor, personification, hyperbole, allusion, etc.), paying special attention to lines that stand out to you as beautiful or though-provoking. Step 2. After reading, narrow . your list down to 3 different examples/types of figurative language. Step 3. Identify each literary device. (Is Example 1 a simile?) Step 4. Write the line from the poem in its proper citation (Act.Scene.Line). Example: (II.ii.45). Note that the Act is written in CAPITAL Roman numerals, and the scene is written in lower case Roman numerals. Step 5. Explain what each example of figurative language means in at least 3 sentences. (What is being compared? How does it better help the reader understand the character/message? What is the effect on the reader?) Step 6. Illustrate your examples! The style is up to you, but it must be colorful, creative, and take up the white space on the page. **You will complete this project on a separate piece of construction paper.** Option 2 "What's in a Name?" Step 1. Answer the questions on the project form, regarding the 3 characters (Mercutio, Benvolio, and Tybalt). Please answer these questions on a separate sheet of paper, neatly. What chemical element is Mercutio named for? What characteristics of this element match Mercutio's character? What does it mean to say that someone is mercurial in temperament? Benvolio's name comes from the same Latin words as the adjective benevolent. What do these Latin words mean? How does Benvolio's name match his temperament? How is Tybalt names like the cat he is named for? If you were renaming these characters for an updated version of the play, what names would you give them? Step 2. For each of the 3 characters, create a drawing that represents his character, using what you know about his name. The illustration can be literal OR symbolic, and should include background drawings to help give a clue about who he is. **Make sure to LABEL details of your drawing that help to describe his character traits!** Option 3 "For never was a story of more woe..." In Act V, the Capulets and the Montagues are informed of their children's untimely death. There are several moments of confusion as the characters work to decipher the mystery of Romeo and Juliet's secret love affair, brief marriage, and double suicide. Imagine how that scene might look. In the Capulet's tomb, we see Prince Escalus, Friar Lawrence, Lord Montague, Lord Capulet, Lady Capulet, the Watchmen, Balthasar, and the Page, all sharing their piece of information puzzle. In their sorrow, the enemies Capulet and Montague resolve their bitter feud and join together in grief. Using your creativity, figure out a way to represent the end of the play. Consider the following options, but don't let the list limit your imagination: -Drawing -Painting -Photography -Collage -Diorama -3D Model -Online Video Your project must show a thoughtful, thorough representation of the end of the play. You must be prepared to explain your thought process! |
