ENGLISH
This quarter, we had an IDU with Humanities as we studied about Human Rights and genocides that happened in the past. In English, we read Night, a novel by Elie Wiesel who is a Holocaust survivor. This book tells about his experience as a Holocaust survivor and the difficulties he faced. One of our assignments was to perform a role play that depicts a certain part of the Holocaust. The topics were determined by Miss Terri, however we are free to choose our own group. I teamed up with Levina, Tannia and Cleo to perform a role play about the event when Elie along with the other Jews being transported to Auschwitz.
Why was this sample my best work?
I chose the role play as my best work because I got a 9/10 for Criteria A: Content.
What did I do well?
My group got good scores for our role play because the message was clear and understandable. It also portrayed a significant amount of emotion in the role through our acting. The dialogues were clear too and it helped the audience to grasp the atmosphere of the play.
How can I improve?
Overall, I think that we did a great job, however there still needs to be more emotion portrayed in this role play. We can actually improve this by adding more dialogues since our play was a bit too short. By analyzing the situation that Elie faced more and trying to be realistic with the emotions he felt, I guess we could portray the emotions and thoughts of our characters more.
How does this relate to Communication?
This topic relates to Communication because when we read the novel Night, we had to understand certain German/Jewish terms used in the book and the context that they were used in. We studied to book so that we understood what Elie Wiesel wanted to communicate through this book of his. My role play also related to Communication because I had to understand the information in Night as well as in my research to correctly portray the character I played in the role play. I also had to choose the words or ideas I wanted to deliver in my role play so that it would fit my character and so that the audience would understand the message I was delivering to them.
