What I did:
Did a thorough research on Chekov's journey as a playwright
Came up with an engaging postcard activity, whereby youths would need to write a postcard to Chekhov, comparing the difference between modern life now and his life in the past after reading about Chekhov's life through his 'handwritten' letters.
Designed the postcards and letters using Adobe Photoshop
Lecturer's feedback: Learning package was age-appropriate as the vibrant colours are able to attract the youths' attention. Postcard activity acts as a reflection of significant events that happened in Chekhov's life.
What I Learnt:
I managed to apply the knowledge taught in the module Theatre and Drama, such as the basic background of local and overseas Theatre and Drama sector, and professional theatrical terms. Having to gain a better understanding of the famous playwrights and their contributions has allowed me to approach this project with ease.
I learnt the importance of communication within a team in order for the various segments of the learning package to be integrated with one another.
This project has honed my time management skills as there are many segments that need to be completed within a short timeframe.
