In class Writing
Leslie's Group:
They have a really good and unique idea. They have two people to read the poem and to people to act out the poem. Their strengths are people who read the poem and people who act cooperated very well together. The transitions between two actors are smooth which shows that they had a good discussion and conversation about who is in charge of which part. Their weaknesses are that the readers can hold the paper up to have a louder and clear voice. Additionally, the readers could maybe try to have more connections with the actors. Actors' performances are sometimes really easy to understand but sometimes is just unclear. All in all, it is a good performence.
Aaron's group:
This adaptation of the poem is different from the others because this adaptation makes this poem sounds tight and quick within the syllables and sentences when everyone else is like slowly interpretation. Their strengths are they want to show the tightness of this poem in their interpretation and they did it with the fast-moving around the bridge. Also, good staging and use of the room and speed of walking create that "tense" atmosphere. The weaknesses are that some part they should be saying together is not happening at the same time, it is because the less time to practice which is understandable. Also, the loud sound of stepping sometimes is louder than their voices.
Helen's Group:
Their group is so creative, and the performance is rich and plentiful. They have both background music and movements. The strengths of this group are that their movements are really easy to understand, and there is not any blank space between, however it is not too much of movements, it is a good amount of the moves. Also, they did a good job of using the full stage and props, also spacing. Also, David W did a good job of holding the laughing, it is a really hard thing but in performance cannot happen. When the accident happened, he did not freak out or laughing or anything fix the problem immediately. For this group there are not many weaknesses, one thing is that two girls have to hold the laugh in between the performance, that's is the only one thing I want to point out. Otherwise, it is a good performance.
Nan's Group:
Thier group's performance is the only one that is modern which is a good thing; it shows a different side from other group's performances. Their strengths are that they have a cool beat, Nan's singing is really good I like the melody very much, the melody shows kind of dark side of the poem in my interpretation. And I think three guys are rapping and trying their best to deliver the poem. There is one guy that his voice is really quiet; another weakness would be there aren't many movements. But, I think the strong background music kind of fix the none movements part.
Grace's Group:
This group's adaptation is peaceful and shows a difference from other groups'. I like their water-river-like background music, which makes me feel relax and enjoys the poem. Their adaptation of the poem is smooth and interesting. They all have their parts that are chosen by themselves, and they show that they have understood the poem. The movements are clean and fit well in this performance; I feel like this performance do not need the fancy moves, the easier, the better. I especially like the last part when David D is standing on the bridge, and other two comes but under the bridge. The level that created by position at the end is perfect.
Cassidy's Group:
Our group does not have any movements at first, after the first take we changed a bit and had a little movement, we changed position whoever speaks come out as the apex of the triangle, and then we switch around. Our weaknesses are that we do not have many movements as I just said, and we did not have background music. We had a long time for discussion which led us to no time to add "fancy stuff" into the performance. Our strength is that each of us rearranged the poem into a shorter version on our perspective and interpretation, including our own story, and the things ourselves want to deliver the poem. Our adaptation of poem is really good and has their own meaning; it sounds like it is an original piece, not a poem that is made of sentences that are pulled out from another poem.
