1. The performance of the group was good, and funny. The things that went well were when Jinhee (Juliet) came in with a good strong atmosphere. And when she came in it was a good when Ryan (Paris) gave her his scarf, but Jinhee returned it when he left. It was commented by the audience that it was good when I (Friar Lawrence) was devoted to praying and was consoling Jinhee when she was upset with Paris. The things that didn’t really go well were that we didn’t have eye contact at times and we need more exaggeration, emphasis on our lines. We also needed more dramatic movements/gestures to make the play even more at its time/more realistic.

2. I contributed to my group by turning in the promptbook pages, the one where we needed to print out our play and make notes on actions, tones of voice, and expressions. I also helped with the setting and how we will perform the play.

3. In the play, I played Friar Lawrence. To support my role, I made an effort to act like a priest by praying by the prayer table... and also hold a bible. I also tried to act calm and sound somewhat “enlightened”, like a priest. I made an effort to act caring while comforting Jinhee when she was upset with Paris. I think I did alright.

4. Maybe we could have practiced more on our scene and have communicated better to improve the scene better.

5. The scene performance helped me to get a better understanding the play because, before doing this activity I didn’t know that Friar Lawrence had a more guilty character in this scene, and I also didn’t know that Paris was this cocky. But with doing this activity I know now that Friar Lawrence felt guilty and Paris was even cockier than ever.
