In drama we have started focusing on global issuse. The M3-B class was split into two main groups (discrimination and Global Warming). I was intersested in discrimination so i was put into the discrimination group. So far we have been working on different performances based on our groups. During each one of our performances we have been learning a new form of drama such as monologing, freeze-frames and documeteries. These performances have been hard yet a learning expieriance. They have been difficult because we have only about one lesson to plan, create and perform each one. I have learned a lot about the different types of discrimination and how they have affected the world. I have also been learning a lot about different types of drama. My acting skills have also been imporoving which i am very happy about since i'm not exactly the worlds greatest actress. I am enjoying this unit a lot. I am not only learning about drama but also increasing my knowledge on the world.

I think you are developing some sound skills, and the ability to communicate more than a simple narrative when you create drama work. You have good focus and are able to develop charcatrs, and should have more faith in your own abilities. What aspect of discrimination interests you most and how will you explore it through the monologue task?
The aspect of discrimination which interests me the most is treating someone as if they are different just because they don't look like you, come form the same place as you or practice the same religion as you. I dont understand how people can possibly think it is ok to treat other human beings unfairly just because they are different. I am confused my this so i cant even begin to image how confused a victim of discrimination must feel. In my monologue i tried to have my character talk about her point of view and how she felt being treated differently just because of her skin color even though she was normal in every other way.
