Playwrights Project Play Completion Reflection

I feel accomplished for finishing my play. I am so happy with my play because I have never written a play before. I think that my play is really good for my first time, because it has a lot of detail and i put a lot of effort into it. Now that we are done with them I can focus on all of my other school work, like all of my make up work that I need to do. Also I was getting behind in some of my classes because I was trying to focus on writting the play, so I am happy to be done with our playwrights. My favorite part about having Ms. Olivia coming in and helping us write our plays was when she would have us play all the games and activites that helped us to learn about writing and team work. I am excited for next year when we get to write another play.

Playwrights Project Inspired by Music Paragraph

In class today we listened to music to help us come up with ideas for our playwrite projects. At first I had a lot of ideas on what I could do, but then later when it came time to write them down i couldn't think of anything! While listening to the music I still couldn't think of what i could write about. I only got one idea the whole time in class.While I was writing I felt frustrated and confused because I had no ideas of what i could write about. When I got home it was easier to figure out new ideas but I dont think that I really want to write about any of the ideas I had.

“Switch” Play Audience Member Experience

Being an audiance member I felt like I was actually one of the characters in the play. In the beggining of the play, I was confused on what was going on and how it was working, but as it continued it started to get better and i understood it more. The play really brought some memories back and some of the situations I had been in. When the child was taken away from his mother, and he was crying. It made me feel so emotional, because I thought of the time when i had gone trough the same thing, and how it had made me feel. My favorite part of the play was when it was like they were in a game show and when they didn't want to play anymore, they distroyed it, and left. This part of the play made me feel like they had acomplished everything that they had worked for and were done with all their problems of the foster care. The whole play made me really relize how many other foster teens feel that same way I do and how I am not the only one who feels that way.
