 Drama 8

What is a lesson you think you need to learn?  (For me, I think I should learn to worry less about things I can't do anything about.) If you were going to create a story to teach the lesson, what would it be?  (If I was going to tell a story about not worrying, I would have a girl worrying about really silly things like "what if an alien invasion took place?" or "what if I turned into a werewolf?" -- she worries so much about the impossible things, that she forgets something important (like her best friend's birthday or something like that).  At the end, the best friend could say, "Today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday".

If you would like to request a certain person to work with in the final project, make sure you add their name here.  Example -- "Mary would like to work with John."


Drama 9

What do you think is the biggest problem facing the world today?  Pitch a story that you could use to put your ideas into a dramatic context.  (I worry a lot about climate change, so I might have a story about a mother orangutan and her baby in the rainforest of Borneo.  Their lives are idyllic until a logging company comes to cut down their forest.  Maybe one of the loggers encounters the mother and baby and it makes him realize that the natural world is more important than making money.)
