Review

We went out to a trip to watch series of short movies for the human rights festivel began at 10AM. we watched ten short films about issues that affect kids and teenagers. at the opening movie was called Liela which was about a girl is traded by her parents and is sent to work. My favourite short film was about a boy documenting his life, coping with the death of his parents and searching for his brother. I disliked alot of the movies but because of the way it was presented but the one disliked the most was the film about stop and search because the man who made it said it was aimed at young black kids who have been discriminated by police through stop and search but the film showed two white boys that have been discriminated and only one black person. From watching that I'd say it was aimed at young boys in general , I felt it could have been made alot better that was.

In drama today we were learning about theatre in education which can educate kids about sex-teen pregnancy, drinking, smoking, use of drugs and bullying. We have to make play about bullying to perform to primary school children aged 7-8. Our of the play is to incorauge them to tell someone if they are being bullied. We performed it out to each other. My group has alot to improve because we've made it seem more for secondary school kids not primary and some the scenes were abit graphic for kids. Like the scene the were the friend of the bully slaps the victim. Before we actually performed the play we brain stormed what is in involved with bullying. Which were things like name calling and physical bullying.
