1. Congratulations! You wrote your first play. Reflect on your experiences here in paragraph form. Be sure to including explanation for your ideas. Write at least 75 words. Some things to consider are:What limitations about the form did you find frustrating?What strengths did you see in the form?What pleasant surprises did you find in writing a play?What unpleasant surprises did you find in writing a play?Would you ever be interested in attempting drama writing or any of its sister forms, screenplays or television scripts? Explain.

in writing this play i ran into a few mental blockades because you have to go about writing plays differently than essays. Tho i did like how i could put in phrases that people would say to other people. I just didnt like how it had to be so long i had to lengthen it a lot. i guess i am kind of interested in the anatomy of different types of plays though.



2. Now that you have an idea about what a personal essay is and does, write down some ideas of what story you may want to relate AND what ideas you may want to express with that story. Write at least 100 words (though, the more you have, the more helpful it will be).

i could definately write about my childhood and about how much my life has changed so much internally. there are many unique situations i could put in it that others haven't experienced to make it a good essay. though not being a play it could be hard to explain my encounters and such.



3. If you could give advice to a kid who was 5 years old or 10 years old (pick one), what advice would you give him or her on growing up in today's world? Would you give advice based upon your own experiences? Would you give advice based upon what you see in others? Would you r advice be based on their thoughts, their choices, peer issues, school? Explain your advice and why you give it. Write at least 100 words.When you are done, comment on your group's blogs. If time, look at other people's blogs as well. Please be sure to give substantial comments.

to a five year old i would tell him to be a five year old because it is the time to have fun and not do work. This is based on my own experience.
