The war drama that I helped derive and performed in, although incomplete, contained some most effective parts. If we had completed it I think it could have given a strong message across to the audience
Evaluation of “War” unit
The war drama that we have been studying, I think, has had a profound effect upon me. I think I look upon World War 1 as something different now and appreciate more what those men fighting went through. All the war dramas have been powerful in putting a strong message across and enabling me to experience different emotions. Some performances have been quite moving and made me respond quite emotionally to the derived drama pieces. I definitely think that I understand more about the emotions of people going through the war – the families and the soldiers. Even though the performances might not have been accurate I still think they gave a good impression about the conditions and the feelings that might have been going through the minds of families and soldiers. I also think that the performances gave a very good message across about war is definitely not what it was made out to be. We now know that war of course is not all about being a hero and being patriotic but during World War 1 the people at home didn’t think this and even though we knew what it was really like they all gave a very good contrast to what the people at home were thinking. If the families were shown these war dramas I think it would have quite a powerful effect on them like it has on me
