In the Monologue project, we put ourselves in the shoes of the different people in different countries, experiencing imperial rule. The point of this many week project was to help us understand how much people struggled during this time.

 

First, we studied each of the countries experience during imperial rule. After we covered every country, we were assigned a country to focus on. Once we had our country, we did extra research about the people of that country and how they felt. After some research, we started creating a character to act as. After we had a character and concept, we started writing our scripts. Soon the scripts were finished; we started to practice preforming in front of friends and family as well as teachers. After a few weeks it came the day to do the final performances. 

 

After this experience, I became a lot better at acting and speaking in font of others. This experience forced me out of my comfort zone. It put in a position I had never been in before, teaching me the power of emotion. I got to help myself come out of my shyness a little more. Being shy can really keep me from making friends. I think after this project I learned how important it is to get over being shy. This helped me come a tiny step closer to not being shy. I’m happy I got to learn from this.

 

I was able to get up there and act. I was able to do something I thought I couldn’t do, my friends thought I couldn’t do. Everyone, even me, were scared for my performance. We all thought I wouldn’t be able to get the emotion out. I did it though. I proved everyone even myself wrong. I could do it. I’m am very proud of myself. I have my performance on video. This can show the emotion I put into the performance. It shows every step I took every word I said. It really shows everything that happened in my performance. It shows how much I grew compared to what my classmates saw in the practices. I think this artifact is my most valid. It is also the most reliable artifact I have; it shows how much emotion I was able to pull out of myself.
