What kind of activity is this?

For this activity we worked in small groups. To fully complete the assignment we had to find some characteristics of the characters and encorporate music. This assignment appeals to all kinds of learners. Students could look up words or find definitions to vocab, look at pictures, or listen to music. This is an example of differentiated instruction.

How does it challenge me?

It challenged me because it forces me to think about what kinds of things students take from a lesson developed around this blog.It was a challenge because we were working in one big group at first, before dividing up into smaller groups. We weren't really getting anywhere at first. Adding music was really fun--I know this would have helped me learn.

What is our audience like? What interests them?
Our audience is high school students. High school students are rarely interested in plays. They generally believe them to be boring and old fashioned. They are interested in relationships, current events, sports, music, etc. Luckily, we have encorporated pictures and music into our blogs. The play also revolves around relationships (both romantic and parent/child). High schoolers need to get hooked on something before they can really focus their attention to it. I think they would enjoy hearing some recognizable music and they would also learn about the characters before seeing the play.
