For our third and final unit for our Humanities class, Drama, we discussed what a matriarch is, and we also talked about blockbusting, and the majority of our class time was spent reading the play A Raisin in the Sun . A matriarch is usually defined as someone who's mentally strong, and the head woman of the household. They're also usually seen as old and wise. For this AP, we were tasked with choosing a part of the play and a character from the play to write a commentary on. Below is the audio recording of my commentary, as well as a text transcript of the recording. In conclusion, I thought that this project was enjoyable, but I struggled a bit with the audio part of it. I'm not super comfortable with voice acting like that, for school projects especially, but I think I did pretty well on it despite that.

In this second unit of our Humanities class, Drama, we read the play A Doll's House, and we also learned more about Victorian times and what it was like to live in them. For our Action project this unit, we had to make our own little play that connected to A Doll's House. Below is the filmed version of the play that we wrote, along with a transcript of the play. In conclusion, I thought that this Action Project was interesting and fun to do with a group, and I also liked how it connected with gender inequality.

For this first unit of our Humanities class, Drama, we learned about plays, and the majority of our class was spent reading a Shakespearean play, specifically The Taming of the Shrew. It had some interesting views on gender roles throughout the play. This is especially true, given the time period it was written in, where women didn't have much power and were supposed to always be subservient to men. Women who defied those expectations were punished, usually until they changed their ways and became subservient. This play is a pretty accurate depiction of life during this time period, and Shakespeare was trying to make a statement that gender roles should be changed, to give the women more power in society. Kate and Petruchio's relationship is an example of what needed to change. Below is my Action Project, a Shakespearean sonnet that I wrote and recorded myself reading.
