During term 3 in PLP the main focus in my humanites class was;
How can we use Shakespeare’s “The Tempest” and the history of New France to stage dramatic tableaus that help an audience understand the lasting effects of colonization? There were multiple small projects that eventually led up to a final project, multiple tableaus that show the lasting effects of colonization.

The first project or “milestone” was to complete an Anthropologists Reflection paragraph, reflecting on hows and what you learnt.

The second milestone was to watch and think critically about each act of the play The Tempest and then fill out an active reading sheet.

For the third milestone we had to brainstorm, identify and select the events of the play and history that answer the DQ for the project.

For the fourth milestone we had to create backgrounds and scripts for the final tableaus, since myself, Ryan, Felix, Malaika, and Rhiann were going to be away on the date of the tableau presentation, we couldn’t be assigned a part in any of the tableaus, so out teacher told us to create an animation about each tableau. The animation would play while the narrator was speaking. My two animations represent the beaver wars, and the Acadian deportation.

 

The fifth milestone was to present the tableaus to the public, but I wasn’t there… so yeah.
