Your assignment is to write an original essay (750 2000 words, which is about 3 to eight double-spaced pages, plus a Works Cited page) on the final live production you saw this semester. You have previously written a \”deconstructed\” essay employing the terms and ideas of the course. For this assignment, you will retain the major elements of the previous paper but create a more fluid essay.

The audience for this paper is an educated theater-goer who wants to know about this production specifically. Your content should describe your experience going to this production. It should analyze and interpret what this production was about, and discuss how the many elements we have learned about over the course of the semester contributed to the overall achievement of the production. Finally, you will evaluate the performance based on what you know about the theater, and describe the relevance of the production. Some ideas you might explore in the last section of your essay are the social and human significance of the work, the artistic quality of the production, the way in which it is revelatory about art and theater itself, and the entertainment value of this performance. (These categories are discussed in the final chapter of your textbook.)

Remember that we are looking for your use of theater vocabulary (always in bold) and how insightfully you discuss the play.

The paper should be in essay form, not a series of answers to questions, but should incorporate all this information in the following required structure:

The Opening Paragraph Overview
1. A terrific thesis statement which focuses your report specifically on the production.

2. The name of the play, properly formatted in italics, along with the name of the author.

3. The name of the theater where you saw the performance, the date on which you saw the performance, your seat number, the approximate cost of your seat, and notes about anyone who attended the play with you.

4. Briefly characterize the audience for the play on the evening you saw it demographically.

5. A short statement about any important historic facts about the play that would be helpful in discussing it, using terminology and concepts from the appropriate chapter of the textbook. Such facts might include when the play was written, the theatrical movement (such as realism, expressionism, meta-theater, etc.) to which it belongs, original language if not written in English, etc. Be sure to cite any sources you consult to discover this information, including the production program for the performance. FOR THIS, AND ALL SECTIONS OF THIS PAPER, PLACE TERMINOLOGY FROM THE TEXT IN BOLD FACE TYPE TO IDENTIFY VOCABULARY YOU HAVE MASTERED IN THIS COURSE.

Second Section The Text – two to three paragraphs
4. In a short sentence identify the duration and genre of the play. In a second sentence, using terms and ideas from the timeline section of Chapter Two, discuss any interesting aspects of the structure of the play (continuous, linear, etc.).

5. Very briefly, using the same pattern you used for the first two reports, recount the plot of the play. This should take no more than one concise paragraph. This is a good place to talk about the characters as functions of the play, (protagonist, etc.) It is not the bulk of your report and you will be penalized for devoting excessive space to it.

6. In a single sentence, no more, summarize the theme of the play.

7. Discuss any interesting aspects of the diction and music of the play, in the sense of the Aristotelian elements. If you attend a musical you will want to incorporate information from our unit on Musical Theatre into your report, so be sure to read and assimilate that chapter before writing your final draft.

8. In a single, concise, grammatically-correct sentence per aspect cited, employing one or more terms from the \”qualities of a fine play\” section of your text, describe the strengths of the text.

Third Section The Director and the Performers one to three pages
9. In a concise unit, describe what was interesting about the performances of the actors, applying terms and concepts from your text\’s acting chapter. Make sure you use the actors names when discussing their choices and skills, and the characters names when discussing the action of the play. In early reports the greatest flaw in discussing acting was generalizing and judging, (The actors were really good or really bad) instead of observing and describing. Be specific. Give examples of exact moments and detailed performance choices to back up any generalization you make.

10. Direction can be both difficult to \”see\” in a finished performance, and hard to write about. Cohen suggests that one way to articulate the outcome of a director\’s central task of conceptualizing a play is to state the concept of the play as a tagline. Using this approach, in a single, concise and grammatically-correct sentence in some manner which identifies the director, state the con

Now that we have a good understanding of staffing, our discussion moves to the factors that affect our ability to staff an organization. Based on your readings and research, discuss the external influences that affect workforce planning, including two factors that impact human resources\’ ability to properly staff an organization and/or forecast future employment needs. (Hint: these factors could be legal issues, diversity, technology, outsourcing, etc.)

Be sure to support your statements with logic and argument, citing any sources referenced.

Arizona offers unique opportunities for direct democracy based on initiative power. The Arizona voters, for example, have recently rejected the Proposition 204 initiative that sought to convert a temporary sales tax that funded education into a permanent tax.

In a 500-750-word Letter to the Editor, propose an initiative for an educational issue that you feel needs to be addressed. Include a plan about how this issue could become an initiative under Arizona law.

Your letter should be written to persuade others to agree with your position. Support your position with examples from case law, the U.S. Constitution, or other readings.

Topic 1: Write an essay in which you compare Art Spiegelman\’s Maus to a more traditionally formatted story assigned for this class or a comic book you are familiar with. How are elements including theme, plot, and conflict different or alike in the two works? How successful do you think Spiegelman is in conveying his message through the more unfamiliar format of the graphic novel?

The Phantom Experiment will apply what you have learned to a topic in psychological or sociological research that you have some interest in. Decide on a topic and design an experiment to test a related hypothesis. You are not actually conducting the experiment, hence the title Phantom Experiment! You will however, write up a research report as if you did, writing in the past tense.
The report will include most of the essential pieces of a report that you have learned about already: abstract, introduction, method, and references sections. There is no results section since you dont really have any and the abstract wont have a summary of the results as well.
Review the section on experiments in your text and be sure that your effort is indeed in the form of a proper experiment not a survey or observational research project. This means you will be identifying at least two variables, controlling the IV and measuring the DV. You must also consider any third variable problems. You will need to operationalize your definitions. You will need to show some way of random assignment.
This must be an experiment that could actually be performed at present. Even though it is a Phantom Experiment, it must be ethical and employ the Belmont guidelines. The methods section should be sufficiently specific as to allow for replication. Since it is a Phantom Experiment, your budget for experimental equipment or other set-up costs is large. You can imagine a participant pool of appropriate size.
Typical format rules apply: APA format, one inch margins, doubled spaced with 12 point font. You are to include at least two references to relevant research from peer-reviewed sources. Avoid quotes. There is no specific word limit. Write as much as necessary to do the assignment. Typically this is 850-1000 words.
