Tempest post

Today I will be talking about my final project in Humanities. So basically what we had to do was answer this driving question “ How can we use Shakespeare’s the tempest and the history of New France to stage dramatic tableaus that help an audience understand the lasting effects of colonization. So the first thing we did was we went right into making little tableaus out of nothing to get a sense of what we were doing. Next we were anthropologist we were understanding the ethics of it by being anthropologist. Here is mine

Then we started learning about the history side of things  we were learning about the first people and why they traded with the new comers and eventually we wrote a paragraph on it

 

 After that we made a skit on what was life like in a colony our skit was about how people wanted to go to New France because they had nothing left they wanted a new life and they thought that if they went their that was going to happen. As we moved more into the history the next thing we learned about was the seven years war for the seven years was we had to answer some questions about the topic so here are mine.

When we were doing all that we were also watching the Tempest and doing active readings which was just pretty much just making sure we were on task and watching the movie. Their were about 5 active readings throughout the play. So now at this point we finished the play and history so we split into 9 groups and each got an act. With that act we had to make a video on our act I had act 4 with Noah and kaiya our video was about 2 characters who tried to kill porspero and then prospero let the dowgs try and kill them. Now we got everything ready and now it was show time we went to the theatre and started practicing. Friday night the big night all of our parents showed up and it was go time the play went really well everyone remembered their lines it looked great.
