In class writing

1. What was your vision as a director/creator for this project?

I am as Mrs. Mallard's sister Josephine to present the entire story in turn from an onlooker's perspective.

2. What elements of the original story did you maintain in your project? The part of Mrs. Mallard's thoughts that he fell into because he heard the death of her husband, and the part where she returned to see her husband alive and died of heart disease due to extreme excitement.
3. What did you change about the original story in your project? Mr. Mallard wanted to get rid of Mrs. Mallard, so he deliberately told his friends to ask them to help him play the drama of his death, so as to start his new life.
4. What is the twist or climax of your adaptation? People may think that Mr. Mallard and his wife are very loving, and they will not think about Mr. Mallard but want to get rid of his wife.
5. What is the strongest part of your project so far? Mr. Mallard decided to get rid of Mrs. Mallard's thoughts and actions.
6. What is the weakest part of your project so far? Mrs. Mallard's mental activity after learning that her husband is dead.
7. How has this project helped you learn about how stories work? 
If you write a story, you must have a climax. Of course, if the plot is reversed, it will be more attractive. When you set the plot, you must consider how to explain to the reader how this happened and why.
8. How has this project helped you learn how theater works?
 As a character in the play, I learned more about how the emotions of the characters should be expressed when shooting, and how to adjust to the best shooting angle.

Create a modernized adaptation

Act 4: Mrs. Mallard locks himself in the room, Josephine stays outside the door

Act 6: Mrs. Mallard begins to get extremely excited and laughs
Act 7: Mrs. Mallard's husband, Mr. Mallard is back, opening the door
Act 8: An autopsy report of Mrs. Mallard, which should write about death in extreme excitement

modernize this story

I will replace the telegram inside with a mobile phone, or the news on TV, etc.

I will change the plot to make this ending more dramatic. For example, Mr. Mallard deliberately made his wife and friends think he was dead. He wanted to get rid of his wife long ago, but he never found a chance. Just taking this opportunity to get his wife's heart attack so he can start his new life

Reflection

When I first read The red wheelbarrow, I was very confused. This poem is only a short 8 
lines, but I learned more through the performances of Lily and Amy. It turned out to be a 
small one. The red  wheelbarrow can still have so many derivative plots, I think amy is 
really giving this poem to life and showing it in a way I didn't even think of. Like the 
part of the chicken, I didn't think that they could derive a story from it. They can use a 
few simple words to derive a story and tell the story of a little girl's life as a child, 
mopping the floor, feeding the chicken. All of this is a complete story around the word
chicken, plus the use of props, perfect embodiment of a girl's farm life. Amy's performance 
embodies a lot of details in a completely different way, interprets this poem again and makes 
the poem more interesting.I think they created such an interesting story through the little 
red wheelbarrow and chicken in this poem to explain the point that the author of the original 
poem wants to express: It is important that we observe And perceive such small, everyday 
details, and recognise the poetic beauty in them.

In Mom to son, this poem was originally the mother's consolation and enlightenment 
to his son. But in Tony's group, they added a lot of background to the poem. Ryan 
performed very well a scene of a rebellious child who didn't like college life after 
entering college and didn't want to learn. So he pushed everything back, went home, 
and talked to his mother. But it is obvious that the mother (tony) is obviously unacceptable, 
so she encouraged her son by writing a poem to her son. Finally, her son was 
rehabilitated and returned to school to go to school. They started out in a quarrel, 
and then read the contents of the original poem to read the contents of the original 
poem, expressing the mother’s encouragement to the child when the child encountered 
difficulties and mum’s love to her child.
