Overview:
We\u2019ll be attacking this week\u2019s unit much like we did the last. I\u2019ll ask that you take a view of David Ives\u2019 \u201cSure Thing,\u201d a brief play, and then to respond to several different methods of discussion that you yourself will provide.<\/p>\n
The assignments for this unit are:<\/p>\n
1. Read the materials in the Unit Six page.<\/p>\n
2. Watch the several different versions of David Ives\u2019 \u201cSure Thing.\u201d<\/p>\n
3. Take part in the student discussions as outlined on the Discussion Boards itself.<\/p>\n
Guidelines:
You all did fine last week in regards to \u201cRosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead.\u201d The play grew for me, leapt from the screen, the printed page, and took on some new dimensions. In a good class, you learn more about life and the philosophy that you yourself adopt to approach it, than you do about the printed page. In that light, last week provided a great class.<\/p>\n
Yes, it ostensibly had to do with Stoppard\u2019s play, but what the play got us to consider and to deliberate upon was moving and artfully handled. I thank you all for your honesty and the courage to put those ideas onto the page.<\/p>\n
And now, it\u2019s time to veer away from Shakespeare. This week we\u2019re giving ourselves over to a rather fun play written by David Ives, \u201cSure Thing.\u201d It\u2019s only about ten minutes long, so I\u2019m asking that you view several different renditions of it.<\/p>\n
Just like last week, I ask that you view these renditions by Wednesday, and to provide discussion questions by midnight on that date. I\u2019ll post the chosen questions no later than Friday, (more than likely early on Thursday; you will then be required to offer your responses to these questions as per the instructions noted on our Discussion Boards.<\/p>\n
