Extra Credit Assignment #3: What is Theater?

In one paragraph, please respond to the following prompt:

In the essays in this reading packet, the authors all seem to believe that theater should have a more profound goal than merely to provide entertainment for its audiences. In a few sentences, can you describe what one or more of the authors (Artaud, Auslander, Grotowski, Brook, or Boal) suggest that theater should accomplish?

Please use at least two specific quotations (from two different essays) to help you answer this question. However, you should also think generally about the readings taken as a whole. Is there a view these writers share about the role of theater in society?

This assignment will be worth up to 2 points. Please upload your answer as an MS Word file onto the ASSIGNMENTS tab on blackboard.

There are several special interest groups out there that are campaigning for term limits when it comes to term limits for elected officials. There are a multitude of reasons why to have terms limits and several against the process. As you well know, the President of the United States can be elected to only two terms of Office. In your state, do you have term limits? If so, what positions does it apply to? How long has your State Senator and Representative been in office? Do you agree with term limits? Why or why not?

1. further research insight – at least one other credible source of information on the topic not used by the author (Wikipedia is not allowed).

Learning how to learn is just as important as what one is learning. Learning to learn, or metacognition, is about becoming aware of one’s strengths and weaknesses as a learner. It is about acting on that awareness to change the way one does things. Once the you are aware, you gain control over future learning situations.

Reflection as a form of metacognition or “thinking about “thinking” enables you to evaluate your experience, learn from your mistakes, repeat your successes, revise, and plan. Therefore, you will be practicing this reflective thinking process by self-assessing your own grammar and writing skills – identifying your strengths, and more importantly, your weaknesses that you will need to focus on for improvement.

Post your self-assessment of reading issues that you will need to focus on for improvement based on your experiences with the Week 6 reading, the discussion activity, and your preparation for Exam #2.

(Allow a bit of time for this movie to load and play)

Post your comments to the following questions on this week’s discussion topic:

1. Explain what happened to the overdose victim according to a classical conditioning approach.

(Hint for success: Consider what environment the addict is in, and how that might effect her according to the textbook?)

2. Do you think this is the best explanation of what happened to this heroin addict in this circumstance? Why or why not?

3. What alternative explanation(s) do you observe being offered in the film clip? Would an alternative explanation (other than classical conditioning) better explain her overdose? Why or why not?

Your entire response to all 3 questions together should be 350-500 words.
