For assignment #2, please choose ONE Greek question and ONE Shakespearean question to research / answer. Thank you!
Greek Theatre (3 options - Please choose ONE of the following questions to answer / research): - How important was theatre to the ancient Greek people? How does Greek theatre in its time reflect the culture / people of the time? - Research the significance of the chorus to Greek theatre and apply it to a contemporary theatrical practice today. - How did Greek theatre incorporate masks and costumes and how does that relate to contemporary theatre? (Think of prom's theme this year too :))
Shakespearean Theatre (3 options - Please choose ONE of the following questions to answer / research): - How did Shakespeare's life influence his works? (Don't just regurgitate facts about Shakespeare's life, really focus on analyzing the facts' impact on his work) - How did Shakespeare's work, and other works of his time reflect the history and historical events of his time? - How does Shakespeare's work still maintain significance today? (Modern productions, adaptations, etc)
Notes: Remember 350 - 500 words TOTAL. DUE BY 11:59:59, June 26th (30 points) Post the link(s) with your research, and happy reading / researching!
This was an interesting assignment because I don't usually do assignments where I create the prompt for the rest of the class. I really liked this assignment though because I like teaching and have thought of becoming a teacher, so it was interesting to assume the role of the teacher for the assignment. Also, since I've taken a year of this class, I could direct the prompt to help students get to know what the really need to to do well in the subject area/entire class. I'm looking forward to doing some more student-created assignments this year.
