Theater III/IV (Yanchak/Lyssy)                                                            Due: Monday, October 3
Two Islands: Reflection Paper
SUMMATIVE – 100%

Objective: Students will provide evidence that they understand and can synthesize and reflect upon the concepts and principles of Creative Drama used throughout the “Two Islands” project.

Directions:  Students will produce a well-written and thought-out response to important guiding questions.  Theater III students must choose to fully answer two (2) of the Guiding Questions listed below.  Theater IV students must choose to fully answer three (3) of the Guiding Questions listed below.  Students should refrain from making generalizations about the experience, but instead focus on their own personal experience.  Students should also refrain from making judgments regarding other students involved in the experience. 

Format: Reflection papers must be typed (10-12 pt “plain” font), double-spaced with margins no greater than 1”.  Students should give their paper a title.  Due to the amount of detail and thought required for each response, we expect papers to be approximately 2 pages in length.   For more detail, please see “FORMAT” in rubric below.
