- Term 3 Week 1 Learning Log -
Our first Literature lesson of the term was generally like the rest of the other lessons... We were given a short introduction on how things will be carried out in the rest of the term / semester, and also on our performance. We also had to file in some papers, this including two extremely thick ones containing notes on literature. We went through some parts of it, but most probably it will be used again in future lessons.
The second lesson was more interesting. We had to settle down in our groups in the empty space behind our class... Or is it in front? Well anyway, we had to decide on a play and split our groups into two. We decided on The Merchant of Venice and I went into Haziq's group, where I had an argument concerning the roles, mainly because there were only two female roles and Portia, the character with the hardest and longest lines, was one of them. In the end, it was decided that I would be Antonio, and Amanda would be Portia. Though I was happy with the results, Amanda was not, and I was quite sad for her too. Yet, hopefully our play will not turn into disaster, but with that said, I need to design a costume for Antonio, and I hope that it will not turn out 'gay', like some annoying boys would say. I will need a lot of research if I have to make a good design.
