Make sure you finish your research and then write a review (on Padlet) of your research that answers these questions:

Is your research reliable? Why/how?

Is your research relevant and useful? Why/how?

Is the research source/information biased? How?

Can you still use this information?

# data[].attributes.body
Half my research was reliable, the unreliable half is the research i gathered from Wikipedia because anyone can edit on Wikipedia.
And the Reliable half is from other sources such as the BBC

Yes,  because everything is connected, it's helped me develop my character further and to use it in the performance that's how it is relevent

Yes I can still use this information in the future, for example I could use it in a role in one of the many grimm tales productions and if I get a role in a tv show or film or stage production, I could refer to this information.

# data[].attributes.body
Thorough research and investigation of relevant sources, coherent use of information used to inform and develop ideas.  You have researched a lot of different sources and used your research to help your performance. Effective evaluation in your rehearsal log clearly communicated and applied to make reasoned decisions and inform the development of ideas. Your use of pictures and videos helped to illustrate your points in your logs.

In this lesson we rehearsed the whole performance. We had to adapt because we did not have chairs, we also watched all 4 performances and gave constructive criticism.

Feedback:
Try to remain focused Zyajah
Zy and Zoul could join in on the ooooohhhs
Louder and clearer voice Zoul
You stayed quite contained see how you can use more of the stage
When you are not in the scene you are still on stage, think about how you are standing.
Good use of physicality Wesley
More rehearsal is needed on this- try to maintain professional even when you are not sure what is happening
When lines are learned make sure your head is up when you are speaking

# data[].attributes.body
Today we had little time to rehearse. We started by getting the whole script blocked. We got off to a slow start but we got there in the end.
We then showed the class our work so far and received constructive criticism.
Feedback:
Be more friendly to the audience.
Find a way for Flounder to move around more freely

Pantomime is family entertainment. It was developed in England and is still performed throughout the United Kingdom, generally during the Christmas and New Year season and, to a lesser extent, in other English-speaking countries. Modern pantomime includes songs, gags, slapstick comedy and dancing, employs gender-crossing actors, and combines topical humor with a story loosely based on a well-known fairy tale, fable or folk tale. It is a participatory form of theatre, in which the audience is expected to sing along with certain parts of the music and shout out phrases to the performers.

# data[].attributes.body
Today we started blocking the rest of the script, knowing what to do and figuring out the staging.
Adding 2 servants in the castle scene and also adding a line, "And servants we have servants!"
When wife becomes the king two people could be armed guards( Me Shakiel or Daniel)
Could also use the spongebob opening song when fisherman is about to catch the flounder.
Before the lesson finished, Neil wanted to see the opening. he suggested that we cut it down to 5 scenes in still images so it isnt too long. He also added on to the Opening, we all stand in a line back towards the audience, the first person on the left turns slowly and then when his/her shoulder touches the next person, he/she(the next person) starts turning slowly too and so on until the last person(Clockwise). Then who ever is in the middle will walk slowly (4 steps) and everyone will do the same when that person moves. After that we go to our places on stage and begin the opening 5 still images and freeze.

# data[].attributes.body
Today we did our 1st run through and received feedback from Sinaed (Voice recording 19/05/2017).
My group had a difficult task because we were missing two people, so i tried to be the narrator, Fisherman and the Flounder.I did this by having the conversations between the Fisherman and Flounder in past tense (He said/She said).

Our second lesson was with Sinaed, we created an opening for the whole class performance which involves everyone. We sorted out how to transition between places (performances).
We had 14 seconds/counts to move from one area to the next.
When we walk we need to not walk casually, but walk as if we were robots and walk in a unit(at the same time).
Then we tried miming the performance in the beginning all at the same time but fast forwarded.
We practiced this for 20 minutes and then filmed it. (Below)

# data[].attributes.body
Unfortunately we were missing 2 people in our group so we could not perform properly today. So we decided to write down all the scenes and try and memorize the script.

Scene 1
"There once was a fisherman..."
Scene 2
Narrator: "So saying, the Flounder swam back into the sea..."
Scene 3
Narrator: "The man was still not very willing to go..."
Scene 4
Narrator:"The man went home and found his wife no longer in the old hut..."
Scene 5
Narrator: "When he reached the sea..."
Scene 6
Narrator: "Then the man went away thinking he would find no house.."
Scene 7
Narrator: "When he reached the open sea..."
Scene 8
Narrator: "But the Flounder would not wait..."
Scene 9
Narrator: "Such a storm was raging that he could hardly keep on his feet..."
Scene 10
Narrator: "There once was a Fisherman..."

Starting words of every scene.

# data[].attributes.body
Today we couldn't rehearse properly due to one of use being late.
it is also hard for us to agree on things we should do.
Zoul thought of using the song for when the wife decides she wants to become lord of the universe.

# data[].attributes.body
Using the song today and for all other lessons.
Could teach the whole class the song (Ensemble)
Wolf or any other Animal could follow Zoul(Fisherman) around the woods, chasing him until lightning strikes.
we decided to use the song in the 9th scene where the Fisherman goes to the Flounder one last time.
Today we were trying to find ways to transition from the house to the boat scene and back to the house.
I thought of a song we could use and using the forest idea from "Hansel and Gretel" as transition through the forest to the boat or maybe use it in another scene.

# data[].attributes.body
This song is an old song, i learnt it from a music teacher at my primary school.

Toy fishing rod
Crown
Blue sheet
Goblet or Chalet
Apron
two ribbons
2 white bow ties (Clip on)
A bongo drum
Green stripes of clothes representing trees

# data[].attributes.body
Brought the blue sheet in to rehearsal, it represents our sea the Flounder emerges from.
Shakiel could use the sheet to cover him when he's on the floor, showing he's still in the sea.
Showed 30 seconds on the part we're best at and 30 seconds on the part we're worst at.
Feedback:
Try use split narration, see if it suits
Find some props we could use
The construction of the house we made was our bodies was very clear.
Start was strong but end was messy
Flounder shouldn't stay under the sheet on the floor.
Paste of the scenes should slow down and show suspense
Good Volume from me, make sure I let the audience hear me say each word.

# data[].attributes.body
Fisherman - Body warmer/Gilet
Bucket hat
Wife - Housemaid Apron and maybe a dress
also a crown
Flounder -  Fish mask and maybe a small crown all black clothes
Rest of the cast (even Narrator) - All black clothing.

# data[].attributes.body
In today's lesson we started tried doing trailers for our performances, my group and I got stuck so we read through the script again and picked a key moment for which truly represents the whole story.
Neil told gave us some feedback saying we could do some split narrations and more intensity (Characterization).
It was only me Shakiel and Zyajah today.
Notes:
Which words are towards the audience.
How can we show how big the fish is.
Sound effects
Maybe split narration
When they are speaking in past tense are they speaking to the audience?
There aren't more then two people in a scene, so the other two could be sound effects or props.

Fisherman meets Flounder

# data[].attributes.body
The tale of the fisherman and his wife is a fairytale about a wife that asked the impossible from her husband. He caught a magical fish, and she asked him to let her live. He was kindhearted and pleased her demand, and she granted him three wishes. The fisherman had no desires, and he let her swim on.
When he told his wife what had happened, she told him she wants the fish to grant her wishes. The fisherman wasn’t thrilled about it because he thought we shouldn’t take advantage of other people’s kindness and he was also pleased with his life and didn’t ask for anything more, unlike his wife.

The moral of the story is that greedy people will never be satisfied and that they equalize they desire to have something with pricey things. Those are the people that will take advantage of other people’s kindness, and their only goal is to satisfy their selfish needs. The fisherman’s wife has an appetite that can’t be fed, and in the end, she is left with nothing. She is left with her husband in the small house, but she can’t see everything she has due to her greed.

Cinderella” was the Grimms' take on the already-popular rags-to-riches tale. In this story, Cinderella’s mother had died, and her new step-mother and step-sisters treat Cinderella very poorly, doing things like taking away all of her nice clothing and forcing her to perform chores like a servant in her own home. Cinderella endures this humiliating treatment, but bemoans her fate at her mother's grave. When the king holds a festival for his son, Cinderella’s stepmother forbids her to go on the grounds that she has no nice clothing and would be an embarrassment. However, Cinderella has spent her life befriending the birds that live in the tree growing out of her moths grave. These birds take pity on her and bring her a gold dress and slippers so that she can go to the festival. The prince becomes enamored with Cinderella and wants to see her home, but she demurs and escapes. This process repeats each of three nights of the festival, and Cinderella loses a slipper the last evening. Having discovered where she lives, the prince visits Cinderella’s home,  attempting to find the slipper’s owner. Each of the two daughters claim the shoe belongs to her, and they cut their feet in an attempt to fit inside the shoe. The prince notices that there is blood in the shoe when the same birds that helped Cinderella sing to him, and so he rejects the step-sisters. When Cinderella puts on the shoe, there is no blood, and that is how the prince knows he has found his true love. The birds that helped Cinderella pecked out the step-sisters eyes and blinded them for the rest of their lives as punishment for their wickedness.

Jacob (1785–1863) and Wilhelm Grimm (1786–1859), were German academics, philologists, cultural researchers, lexicographers and authors who together specialized in collecting and publishing folklore during the 19th century. They were among the best-known storytellers of folk tales, and popularized stories such as "Cinderella", "The Frog Prince" , "Hansel and Gretel" ,"Rapunzel", "Rumpelstiltskin","Sleeping Beauty", and "Snow White".
Their first collection of folk tales, Children's and Household Tales, was published in 1812.
With the goal of researching a scholarly treatise on folk tales, they established a methodology for collecting and recording folk stories that became the basis for folklore studies.
The tales are available in more than 100 languages and have been later adapted by filmmakers including Lotte Reiniger and Walt Disney, with films such as Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and Sleeping Beauty.
- Wikipedia
There are also other adaptions such as TV Series "Grimm" and "Once Upon A Time", and Comic books such as "Fables" which recently got its own game adaptation Tale tales series "The Wolf Among Us" with the main character being "Bigby Wolf" (The Big Bad Wolf).

A fairy tale has a place in the training of children which common sense and a sympathetic attitude toward childhood will not deny. Some rigid philosophers, who see no more of life than is to be found in logical science, condemn the imaginative tale. They regard the teaching of myths and stories as the telling of pleasant lies, which, if harmless, are wasteful. What the child acquires through them, he must sooner or later forget or unlearn.

The Little Mermaid

In the original version, the Little Mermaid feels an indescribable amount of pain every time she takes a step - due to a curse the witch put on her.

The Little Mermaid has a mother in the original - her mother is dead in the Disney version.

The Captain that the mermaid falls in love with marries another woman (whom he had been in love with in the first place) - in the Disney version the Little Mermaid gets the prince!

The Little Mermaid's sisters offer her a knife to kill the prince so she can return to the see in the original.

The Little Mermaid dies at the end (turns into sea foam) - she kinds of commits suicide - because she cannot bare to see the prince with someone else.

Snow White

In the original - the Queen requests the lungs and liver (as well as the heart)  of Snow White to eat for dinner that night.

In the original - Snow White is not awakened by a kiss from the prince (like the Disney version) - she is awakened when she is jostled by the horse on which her coffin is being carried by the prince.

Cinderella

In the original - the step-sisters of Cinderella try to cut off different parts of their feet to make them fit into the glass slippers.

The Prince is alerted of the step-sisters by two carrier pigeons who then peck out the step-sisters eyes.  The step-sisters live as blind beggars for the rest of their lives.

Sleeping Beauty

Woman is put to sleep because of a prophecy (not a curse) in the original.

In the real original (not Brothers Grimm version) - Sleeping Beauty is raped by the King (her father) and is awakened when her child sucks the piece of flax that was keeping her asleep out of her finger.

First, it is a short narrative, sometimes less than a single page, sometimes running to many more, but the term no longer applies, as it once did, to a novel-length work. Secondly, fairy tales are familiar stories, either verifiably old because they have been passed on down the generations or because the listener or reader is struck by their family resemblance to another story; they can appear pieced and patched, like an identikit photo fit. The genre belongs in the general realm of folklore, and many fairy tales are called ‘folk tales’, and are attributed to oral tradition, and considered anonymous and popular in the sense of originating not among an elite, but among the unlettered, the Volk (the people in German, as in ‘Volkswagen’, the ‘People’s Car’).
