Part I (continued)

When we reconvened today to reveal our respective scores, it was elucidated that all of us could gauge the reactions of IB graders rather accurately. Personally, I tended to allow for more room of error and gave the benefit of doubt to the student producing the document. From today's discussion, it was evident that the most vital things to keep in mind while completing our researching investigations is to: 1) answer the question (surprisingly yes!) and 2) attribute our sources to the best of your knowledge. Upon finishing the discussion, our teacher officially assigned the preparation task of formulating three research questions along with providing some sort of text that we would be able to employ in our research. We then broke off and went our own ways with the opportunity to look over our teacher's collections of theatre books. These covered a range of subjects with books on stage combat to theatre of the absurd to Kyogen. It was amazing, but I'm not sure if anything really interested me just yet. I just know that I probably won't be researching anything more in Japanese theatre anytime soon. I've taken a personal interest in Chinese Opera and stage combat, but I'll see what else I may be pulling up from theatre history websites.
