Project
#1: Add Links |
|
Just as the name suggests,
the idea of this project is to find two links that
in your estimation would be valuable to future Theat145 students.
Add your new links, and then turn in a half page typed explanation
as to why these would be a useful links for this course. This project may be repeated only once. Worth
up to 5 points.

Project
#2: Annotating Being White |
|
Make a minimum of four
thought provoking annotations relating to Jeff Hitchcock's
and Charley Flint's Whiteness and the Mainstream (see
Packet pp. 58-62). Identify parallels between specific points
of the article with specific plays we have read in this class.
Some of your annotations might also amplify a point made in the
article, or might clarify why you agree or disagree with a particular
issue, but in doing so, the more you integrate specific plays
into the discussion, the better. Worth up to 10 points.

Project
#3: Annotating Being Black |
|
Exactly the same as Project
#2, only in this case the primary reference is an excerpt from
Franz Fanon's The Fact of Blackness (see Packet p. 63-66).
Worth up to 10 points.

Project
#4: The Wild Ones |
|
Begin by watching the films
Nell and Instinct (available locally
at VideoQuest, etc.). You'll need to be familiar with both
films in order to meaningfully contribute to the online
discussion. The postings you make are similar to the TALK OF
THE CLASS project in that you both write new threads and respond
to other postings. The difference is that in this project, there
are two interrelated Discussion Boards functioning at the
same time. The program gives you the option to easily link
your posting to both boards, or to keep the posting bound to
a single board. The overall objective of the project is to discuss
parallels between the films and various plays we have read this
semester. The more you dive into the "discussion" the
better, as long as you keep in mind that your contributions should
be a balanced mix of new threads and responses to others. This
project doesn't culminate in a final paper, but you should aim
on writing a minimum of three, single spaced typed pages. Lots
of wild characters have crossed our paths in this class; think
of Dream on Monkey Mountain, The Golden Age, and
The Ik to name just a few of the plays that conjure forth
the theme of the wild. This is not a formal paper, but more of
a discussion board type activity. To receive full credit for
this project, you'll need to have written the equivalent of three
single spaced pages. Worth up to 15 points.
