The driving question for our PBL over Term 2 and part of this Term has been, “How can we as performing artists communicate positive messages to an audience?”
We learnt about The Arts, in particular the elements of Dance, Drama and Music. We read a number of fables or fairy tales and learnt about their positive message. We then took this learning and applied it to our own play writing script.
In my group there was Niko, Cheyenne, and Micah. We planned out what our script, and fairy tale was going to be. Click here to see our planning document.
Once we had planned our ideas, we started to write our playwriting script. The fairy tale or fable our script is based on is Sleeping Beauty the main idea is when the princess was young, a witch cast a sleeping spell on her . The positive message that we wanted the audience to take away was that a true Love’s Flower can make a princess awake .
The Google Slide shows everyone’s performance in Tumu, my group’s performance is on slide 16
Something that I enjoyed about this project was that everyone came up with their own ideas and in it we’ve included input from everybody.
Something that I found challenging or would change about this project was that whenever we were fixed on an idea we came up with a new one and had to start over.
I am most proud of this project because I feel like I had a lot of impact on this work, and I’ve tried my hardest to include everyone’s ideas.
Have you ever done a play for PBL?
