If you have not yet updated your entry about the monologues, please do so. If you can't manage to post your own entry, then you can email me at tickle_jennifer@tisa.az. No excuses!
You have this week to ponder and reflect upon the following:
1. We had an interesting analysis lesson looking at cultural bias in an English play written for school students. one of the first things we all noticved was that the list of characters all had names that we would asociate with US/UK/NZ/Australia - like John, Jane, Timmy etc. We discussed the implications of naming characters in this way and how it made you, as multi-cultural international students feel. The very next lesson, I watched three students, from Korea, Pakistan and Austria repectively, sit down to plan the opening scene of their play. They decided to begin by naming characers, and immediately came up with the names Dorothy, John and James. Why might I have found this a bit frustrating to hear?
2. We have been exploring different ways of developing the play, using a combination of improvisation, video recording and word processing. What combination works best for you, and why?

1) Mixing cultures , names and etc not a good way to explain to people the
main idea of your perfomance. If u call a person (lets say from pakistan)
Joe or Leo peope wont get where is he from till it says in a play.
2) video recording is the best way to develop a play, because if u do any
mistakes and after you are watching it then you start getting your mistakes
and you can correct it

Mrs. Ticke has gives us a new project about monologues. I think, it will be
really interesting. We were looking on other monologues. Also Mrs. Tickle

i hope it will be interesting
