Moderation
Assessment performance - 23 September. Junior was absent.
This was the end of term and the group felt under-rehearsed due to irregular attendance [work experience programmes/illness]. However they were happy with their preparation work and their concept.

working on sound track : Sela & Caleb [Level 2] on geog field trip; Tyrone shared his monologue via google doc; Joel absent.
Working on slideshow - shared- possibly just for light/sound cues but could use quotes/ images?

Shontelle needs your music for soundtrack.

"Sela- what is it to be FOB Polynesian rules/ what's it like to be a 16 year old pregnant polynesian girl
Victoria- could you do white girl in same situation
Sela: How?

Good discussion Sela, Victoria, Tyrone, Caleb, Junior, Shontelle. This was building on the personal identity theme by going back to Friday's discussion of issues [see list on video]

Please add your own comKents or link with your own blog,




Max- sitting alone writing personal journal- this does not meet the task requirements to work collaboartively.

Joel/ Kori- working together in computer room- can you show me your intentions?

This explains split stage.
We looked at the TPPA rally/ Mr Minto's speech and found elements of Political theatre- masks/ chants/ speech/placards.
Looked at an exemplar for writing. intentions.

14/8 Intro political theatre - text book. This will help give some distance from the personal issues. Good to hear yo are writing about the topics in English today.



12 & 13th - used some provocations to develop ideas; many still working on creating a role so today we have looked at political theatre. {see video} Mrs Clark will put up some information of Political Theatre on our site.

10/8/15
worked on developing the archetypal roles
http://www.soulcraft.co/essays/the_12_common_archetypes.html
7/8/15
Used a Theatre Sports game "Yearbook" as a structure which introduced roles. Conventions: Freeze Frame- like a class photo; Spoken thoughts aloud- characters introduced themselves. Improvised a story- leading to conflict over male/female roles.

Devise a drama involves creating an original drama. It is an ongoing cycle that requires active participation in the creative processes by all members of the group, and involves: • discussion • exploration of and experimentation with elements and conventions • selection and rejection • shaping using elements and conventions • structuring and sequencing.The standard  and the TASKS will be  on the site

You need to be an active participant in the process- we need to collect evidence of that through your BLOG  where you will record what you do each day in Drama. Sela's groups performance "Bus-stop" is an example of a devised work. You may also have seen Craig's performance last year. Look at the video exemplars for your level-
http://www.nzqa.govt.nz/qualifications-standards/qualifications/ncea/subjects/drama/annotated-exemplars/drama-annotated-exemplars-level-2-as91214/
http://www.nzqa.govt.nz/qualifications-standards/qualifications/ncea/subjects/drama/annotated-exemplars/level-1-as90997/

It is very satisfying creating your own work. On your BLOG 1- write down what you think devising is, which exemplar you liked and why, then your opening ideas on what "Personal Identity" means  [sexual, social, cultural, spiritual]

Want to do the 48 Film festival next year?

http://www.48hours.co.nz/screening-room/2015/

Check out the competition. The more you watch short films the more you will know about making them. We REALLY need to have someone with proper editing software and experience of using it.
