Hey guys :)

Here are the groupings for the "Features of comedy and farce" assignment for Lit.

If there are any problems with the groupings let me know! Take note that the maximum number of slides is 25, so the breakdown per group is an average of 3 slides. You don't have to worry about the slides for now, but just pick out the most relevant and good examples from the Act that you are assigned to, and explore how they are used for comedic value in the play.

3x6=18 slides, and then the remaining 7 can be used for spillovers (although we should try to avoid this!) and other things, like defining comedy and farce and also for visuals and external examples.

We are supposed to come up with the timeline by this Wednesday and I don't have anything definite for now, but I was thinking along the lines of this:

There are exactly 4 weeks and 2 days from the 8th of April till the 8th of May, so we'll use that as a guideline ok?

TENTATIVE TIMELINE
-----------------------------
8 April -15 April: Familiarise yourselves with the Act that is assigned to your group

15 April - 23 April: By this week, you should have already drawn out the examples that you want to use to demonstrate features of comedy and farce in the play. Start preparing the slides.

23 April - 29 April: Complete the slides for the Act that your group is assigned to. By this week, we should all also compile the slides and start to familiarise ourselves with all the other groups' slides.

29 April - 6 May: Besides the 3 slides that you prepared for the Act you are assigned to, within your groups, you should also help with finding appropriate visuals and 1 or 2 external examples of comedy and farce. Send these to the compiler (tentatively Alex and I) by 3rd May. The remaining 3 days should be spent looking through the compiled slides and committing them to memory.

6 May - 8 May: Get ready to present because it could be any one of us that our lit teacher chooses to call!

*TAKE NOTE: Remember where you get any visuals/external information from, because we need to include a bibliography at the end.

Ok guys that's all, sorry for the insanely long post.. Hope it's clear though. If you guys want to clarify anything, you can ask me in school tomorrow or something. :) Oh and if you have any suggestions on how to improve the delegation/timeline, let me know too please!

See you all tomorrow, God Bless!

Features of comedy and farce. How are they to be seen in the play?

• Final Deadline: Friday 8th May 12.00noon

• Preliminary Deadline: Wednesday 8th April 12noon for detailed timeline of completion as well as breakdown of duties

Details:

• You are to submit your research as a power point presentation limited to no more than 25 slides maximum.You are to ensure that there is a bibliography that acknowledges ALL your sources including picutres.

• Your project will eventually be presented to the cohort in a lecture. The skeleton of who will present on behalf of the class will be made by miss K ( meta-hero

• (added by Jannah) This will take a pretty strong hold on your CA marks, as whatever the K wishes it to be - and according to her, she'll judge EVERYONE the same, so we ALL gotta put in effort, all the class' total grade will go.. *poof*!!
  

• IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ETC YOU ARE TO ASK!

That is all, fellow comrades. May the fire of a thousand suns, and the blessings of the K warm your being, that you may comprehend the height of this divine expositioning.
