Reflective Paper, About Issues of Race / Class / Gender etc

Reflective Papers
Everyone must turn in their own individual paper
Papers should be two pages in length, and should be a coherent reflection addressing the following:
• Why did your group choose to make the changes you did re: race/gender, etc., and what did you personally learn from doing so about issues of race/class/gender etc.
• Thinking about delivery of presentation and the audience, did you learn anything about how "acting" your words can impact an audience? If you remixed an older project, what did you learn about presentation and communicating information? This is not a question about how good or bad the acting was; rather, given that many of you may have changed the dialogue of your scene to suit present-day social views, how did discussing how that character had to change and lines had to be delivered impact your understanding of how characters work and the impotence of emotion, intonation, inflection, enrich the character and your understanding? The people acting in the skit ought to be sure particularly to address this.
• (Given that your papers will be due before everyone has possibly presented, given our library schedule, etc., we will discuss this as a class after presentations conclude on the 3rd. rather than have you write about it). Given that you also had to think about movement and what an audience will “see” did you learn anything about performance?
• What is the value of "re-mix" here, i.e. what did you learn, and do you think these continual re-makes and adaptations of films and television serve a purpose and should be done? Why or why not?
You may also address group dynamics/division of labor issues, etc. re: the project if you wish.
