Speaking and Listening CA

In today's CA, we went through the three major points and our arguments were quite structured. We were quite alert and ensured that the conversation moves on, instead on going in circles (which we did yesterday).

I was quite sure about which part of the press conference I should jump in and question the other characters. I felt that my role and the detective's role were more about ensuring that the conversation moves on. My role as a reporter mainly questions and challenges all the characters, especially Victor and the professor to defy and contradict what they said. My questions also acts as prompts for other characters to speak their minds. 

After watching our performance, I think that on the whole, all of us played quite a convincing role throughout the whole CA. Though this was mainly based on on-the-spot improvisation, we stayed in character and presented our views in the perspectives of the character that we played.

What we could have improved on was perhaps increase the fury and hatred all the others have on Victor and his creature. Basically, the peasant and the reverend would be furious and appalled by what has Victor created and what has the creature done while the professor and Henry would be busy defending his dearest friend. A clash of opinion did occur but this can be improved.

  1. What about skills you feel you developed in doing this CA? Body language, expression, tone, movement - they all feed into the portrayal of a character. What did you do well? What can you work on again next time?
