Journals for this week!
Grade 8: On a scale of 1 - 5 (with 1 being "not good at all" and 5 being excellent), how would you rate yourself as a group member? Explain your answer. What did you contribute to the musical tableaus? Are you a good leader? Explain. Write about a time you had to work in a group and what you learned from the experience.
Remember, D Block -- I am taking you to the play on Thursday at 1. Please bring $5 for your ticket! The money goes to support the drama club, so we can keep doing great plays for our school.
Drama 9/10: Write a review of your heritage play. Give the play a name (for example, "Time Marches On" or something like that) and then write about how it went describing particular scenes, actors, the use of music, the staging, whatever you want to comment on. Include both things you thought were successful and things that you wish had gone differently.
Senior Drama: Martin Scorsese (the great director of "Taxi Driver", "Raging Bull", "Goodfellas", "The Age of Innocence" and many great movies, including this year's "The Irishman") has said this about Marvel movies: "Cinema is an art form that brings you the unexpected. In superhero movies, nothing is at risk." He goes on in this vein, "[refering] to Marvel movies as “amusement parks” and [listing] how they are devoid of “revelation, mystery or genuine emotional danger,” and that the “pictures are made to satisfy a specific set of demands, and they are designed as variations on a finite number of themes.” Comment on this idea. Do you like Marvel movies? Do you think they follow a pattern? Are the characters interesting? (Describe one you like, if you can. If you don't like the characters, say why.) Do all movies explore a finite number of themes and satisfy specific demands? Try to be thoughtful in your answer.
