Women and War

This was not my favorite production. I didn't really like the interpretive dance moves, but I did love most of the dramatic monologues. They were very compelling. I also found it interesting that they combined video with live performance. I noticed they were using the choral reading strategy we had discussed, and I thought it was interesting. What I did love about this production and what I want to take back to my classroom is the way the writers took NONFICTION and turned it into a dramatic piece. I'm not sure if I could assign something like this because it would be hard to communicate my expectations to the students since they haven't seen what I've seen. But then, maybe that's a good thing - this way whatever they produce is completely their own. It would be cool to offer this as an alternative to the traditional research paper.
