Directing and Script Writing Core Competency Reflection
Positive Personal and Cultural Identity
To connect with the theme of Positive Personal and Cultural Identity, the grade 9 students in Drama 9/10 were instructed to memorize half of a scene from A Midsummer Night’s Dream by Shakespeare, and to write a corresponding half to end the scene with, which I would then coach and polish as a student director. Moreover, they were told to direct it towards a specific demographic. Some of the demographics included French, Russian, Italian, and Australian culture. The adaptations were extremely impressive, all the while being respectful to all cultures portrayed.

Reflection:
How I figured out if the information I gathered was reliable was by checking multiple sites. If I saw on multiple sites that an event happened on the same day every time, I know its reliable. I chose to use Sway because I’m familiar with the program, and I didn’t want to create an account for anything. Also, I personally like interactive projects like Sway presentations because you can move down on the page to keep reading. I’m very happy with the end result of my design. It took a lot of time to make and I’m proud of it. To refine my assignment in the future, I would have gotten more of it done at school instead of having to do so much of it at home.

Reflection:
I think what is innovative about my visual presentation is that every slide looks different from one another and not just the same colors and fonts on every page. I generated ideas when working on this project by thinking, “If I were to read this book, what I would want it to look like and what order the pages would be.” What I like about my visual representation is that it’s filled with color. Color makes everything look more interesting. What I would improve on next time is maybe taking advantage of class time more, even though I worked on it a lot in class, I could have probably gotten more done. I learned that I can be creative enough to make the project that I pictured in my head into a reality. The platforms like Powerpoint and Flipsnack definitely make it a lot easier.
