GRASPS Model: Prophet of a Performance

            This was an easy task to make because I have my group who were cooperative. Grasps model was introduced to us beforehand during our discussion in Assessment 2. I took down notes and other information about that is why we were equipped with knowledge before doing it.

            First, we came up with the idea of using a play as a task since we are English Major Students. The most popular play we know was the “Romeo and Juliet of William Shakespeare.”

            Now that our concept was settled and accepted by everyone, we continued the task. I ask each of them to give their suggestions one by one per letter. Then, I combine and organize their thoughts. That is how we came up with our product. All of us are giving comments and listening to one another. Our opinions were respected and treated fairly.

            We tried to visualize the performance task we wanted to see. Our chosen role is the director of the play depicting the characters in Romeo and Juliet. Our audience was all English Majors and their advisers. The situation will be directing the target play, internalizing every characters and crafting props and backdrops. The students will present a role play with complete props and costumes to meet the requirement for midterm. The play will be judge by its content, creativity and conviction.

            I was the one initiated the exchanging ideas. I learned that one member of the group must have the initiative to lead the group. That will help the group to be calmer and collected rather than waiting for one another to initiate.
