INTRODUCTION The 17 Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statement subjects which contain a practical component all include a practical assessment task (PAT). These subjects are:  AGRICULTURE: Agricultural Management Practices, Agricultural Technology  ARTS: Dance Studies, Design, Dramatic Arts, Music, Visual Arts  SCIENCES: Computer Applications Technology, Information Technology, Technical Sciences  SERVICES: Consumer Studies, Hospitality Studies, Tourism  TECHNOLOGY: Civil Technology, Electrical Technology, Mechanical Technology and Engineering Graphics and Design A practical assessment task (PAT) mark is a compulsory component of the final promotion mark for all candidates offering subjects that have a practical component and counts 25% (100 marks) of the end-of-year examination mark. The PAT is implemented across the first three terms of the school year. This is broken down into different phases or a series of smaller activities that make-up the PAT. The PAT allows for learners to be assessed on a regular basis during the school year and it also allows for the assessment of skills that cannot be assessed in a written format, e.g. test or examination. It is therefore important that schools ensure that all learners complete the practical assessment tasks within the stipulated period to ensure that learners are resulted at the end of the school year. The planning and execution of the PAT differs from subject to subject. 2. TEACHER GUIDELINES GENERAL The Annual Programme of Assessment for the subject Dramatic Arts stipulates that THREE PATs should be completed for the School Based Assessment component. This means ONE PAT per term for terms 1, 2 and 3. Ensure that you, as the teacher, have a clear understanding of all four Broad Topics and their related Topics when you prepare, set, implement and mark the PATs. All three PATs contain two sections: SECTION 1: WRITTEN SECTION The Written Section consists of an Assignment, an Essay and Research. The learners are required to demonstrate cognitive and conceptual understanding of the concepts of the CAPS Broad Topics and Topics, on which the Written Section is based, as well as planning, reflection and record-keeping skills. The Essay, Research and Assignment may be done in any of the three terms, and, according to a school's specific planning, in any order. The Written Section serves to prepare learners for the Performance Sections of the PATs. SECTION 2: PERFORMANCE SECTION The focus of this Performance Section is to develop the practical skills and techniques prescribed in the CAPS Broad Topics and Topics incrementally and cyclically. Learners should demonstrate applied competence in the form of Dramatic Items, such as a poem, monologue, prose, scene/extract, physical theatre, film, design, directing and stage management. A variation in Dramatic Form, Style and Dramatic Movement needs to be demonstrated – as prescribed for the end-of year examination. Copyright reserved Please turn over
Downloaded from hlayiso.com Dramatic Arts 4 DBE/PAT 2020 NSC AIMS Both the Written and the Performance Sections aim to:  Ensure thorough TEACHING and deep LEARNING has taken place. Guard against an assessment-driven approach. Prepare your lesson plans to ensure enough time is spent on you, the teacher, TEACHING and the learner LEARNING. The formal assessment of the PAT is merely the end point of a long process based on teaching and active learning.  Guide learners through an academic, theoretical, conceptual, technical and practical skills process to enable them to integrate theory and practice in a meaningful manner.  Deepen and consolidate the learners' understanding and learning of the classroom teaching.  Provide the opportunity to build a varied theoretical and practical repertoire in terms of process and product.  Integrate theory and performance concepts, skills, knowledge and content.  Prepare the learners for the complex cognitive and abstract theoretical and performance demands of the mid-year, trial and end-of-year examinations: o Paper 1: Written Examinations o Paper 2: Performance Examinations: Theme/Audition or Technical Programme SOME IDEAS AND APPROACHES Theoretical, academic, technical skills:  The subject Dramatic Arts requires a minimum of three years of rigorous, continuous teaching, learning, development and maturation of conceptual and practical skills and techniques. The development of voice modulation techniques, for example, should occur over the three-year period and not only in Grade 12. (Ensure every period or moment of teaching is focused.)  The transfer of knowledge, acquisition of skills and change in attitudes and values, are embedded in an ongoing deep process approach. It is within the process that creative thinking, creativity, imagination, visualisation, problem solving and critical thinking are discovered, explored, conceptualised, implemented, developed and applied. These aspects cannot be attained through individual methodologies or products.  Consciously develop learners' content knowledge as well as the academic and technical rigour of the subject. At the end of Grade 12 learners should demonstrate applied competence of the Curriculum Assessment Policy Statement from grade 10 to 11 to 12.  Ensure that the integrity of technical skills, style, genres, principles etc. of the dramatic forms are maintained and demonstrated at all times. (E.g. an Elizabethan poem may be interpreted creatively, but the form and style of the Iambic rhythm, the phrasing, the heightened poetry, the vocal and physical delivery, etc. of the Elizabethan genre must be mastered and demonstrated.) Process, meaning, creative voice and product:  Very few learners can complete a brief on their own. You, as the teacher, have to guide and facilitate the creative process from inception to completion.  Be open-minded about divergent ideas, creative inferences, innovation and offered solutions.  Remember; you must guide the aesthetic qualities and skills of the tasks.  It is the task of the teacher to enable the learner to find his/her own creative voice.  Try to lead the learners to find individual and innovative approaches/solutions.  Guide them to develop ideas by working from first-hand observation, e.g. attending and discussing plays, critiquing TV programmes and films.  Guide learners to eliminate source material that lacks aesthetic appeal. Dramatic forms should be selected from a credible published source or recognised oral tradition rooted in indigenous knowledge systems. Copyright reserved Please turn over
Downloaded from hlayiso.com Dramatic Arts 5 DBE/PAT 2020 NSC Learners' styles and creativity:  Learners should be confident and calculated risk takers, try out new ideas and processes without fear of failure.  It is important that confidence is encouraged and nurtured to ensure learners feel comfortable about taking risks and learning from their mistakes.  Create a high-risk, low-threat/safe environment.  As far as possible know your learners in order to develop their particular strengths. Some will be careful planners, while others work more intuitively. Some will exhibit their work process outwardly; others work quietly, slowly and in private. Appreciate, nurture and most of all respect all work styles.  Extrovert learners may readily offer a solution to another learner's mistakes. Encourage the extrovert to rather focus on their own process and encourage the introverted learner to offer and communicate their own solution. Extroverts are not necessary leaders. Often the introverted learner is more conscious of detail, process and meaning. Encouraging these learners' voices and opinions may enrich discussions.  Creative activity may proceed from a number of different levels, from the lower end, such as producing a written framework for a Theme Programme; or the upper level, developing an entirely fresh and individualised process and/or outcome. Both are valid and will reach the same product.  There are many ways of creating. Be flexible enough to allow learners to find and use their unique ways. One expects a stronger individual interpretation and style in Grade 12 learners. Resources or the lack thereof does not determine the level of creativity but rather what the learner does with the resources available. The focus is on innovation and the ability to re-imagine, re-frame or re-present a process or product from their unique view of the world. Assessment, feedback, listening and communication skills:  Continuously do informal assessment. Discuss the progress of learners' work with them individually. Guide learners to find their own solutions, rather than imposing your ideas on them.  Have regular 'critique sessions' during which the teacher facilitates learners to talk and discuss their own and their classmates' processes/work in an informed and constructive way. Base this discussion on the content in the CAPS.  Be skilled at listening. Dramatic Arts is about effective and skilled communication. Practice and promote a culture of 'listening to understand' and not only 'listening to dispute 'or 'disagree'. Be careful not to enforce a simplistic understanding of 'listening' to ensure learners do not 'talk back' or express their points of view or the construct from which they have worked. You may even have to change your well thought out position based on knowledge you have as a teacher. There is not only one way of doing things, but multiple ways.  It is important to view and discuss the body of work by a learner continuously throughout the year. It helps to identify their strengths and improvement points. Teach learners to record their experiences and feelings in a reflective manner in their individual process journal. Apply the principle of: 'what is not documented did not happen'. This will help to develop critical and creative thinking and will make the selection and ordering of ideas more transparent and conscious.  Beware of damaging criticism. It is advisable to start with the positive and then move to areas that can be improved. Enter into dialogue with a learner, e.g. 'I think it will be more effective if you change this … What do you think?' This makes them feel part of the process and makes them think about their work. Use coaching and de-briefing skills. Create a space in which learners may disagree with you.  Guide learners to be effective, independent, critical, creative and reflective thinkers.  Do not underestimate learners; challenge them, as they often rise to the occasion. Use a range of questions that extend and deepen learners' ability to re-consider their creative choices. This should lead them to ask: 'If this is how it is now, how else can it be?'

Downloaded from hlayiso.com Dramatic Arts 6 DBE/PAT 2020 NSC Reflection:  As a starting point; reflection is best done against the agreed upon rubric criteria. Reflective practices include reflection before, during and after a task. Teachers may also, as a learning tool, use the rubric criteria as questions to debrief and reflect on the evidence produced by the learner. At the end of each PAT (Written and Performance Sections) there should be reflection/feedback on the work presented. Teachers need to share comments on the strengths and the weaknesses. This will provide learning and improvement points for the learner to implement for continuous development and mastery.  This may be either written or verbal feedback and it could take the form of: self-reflection, class/teacher reflection and marking, peer reflection, open critique sessions guided by the TEACHER as well as the learner. HOW TO ADMINISTER THE PATs Teachers must:  Ensure all resources, required to do the PATs, are available. See the DBE Catalogue for Learning and Teaching Support Materials (LTSM).  Timetable sufficient time for learners' to complete the PATs (select contact time during and/or after school).  Ensure you TEACH every CAPS topic, concept/skill and knowledge component thoroughly. Facilitate a deep LEARNING process for each learner before the actual assessment of the PAT's are administered.  Use the Guidelines for Standardisation for an Assessment, Essay and Research to ensure the correct format, length, content etc. is applied across the nine provinces for the assignment, essay and research.  Monitor that PATs are on schedule during the process.  Conduct informal continuous assessment.  Complete formal assessment; use the rubrics provided in this document.  Complete the Excel mark sheets/spread sheets provided by the province.  Follow school policy regarding submission of marks.  File the Lesson Plans as well as the Assessment Tasks' briefs and instructions as well as the Assessment Tools (rubrics, marking guidelines, checklists) for the PATs, based on the CAPS Topics, in the file called TEACHER FILE: LESSON PLANNING AND ASSESSMENT TASKS PLANNING.  This file must be available for cluster, provincial and national moderation.  Record, on an ordinary cellphone, the Performance Sections of learners' PATs and down load onto a DVD. This DVD must be available for moderation.  File the learners' completed assessment evidence of both the Performance Sections (DVDs) and the Written Sections of the PATs in the file called:  LEARNER FILE: ASSESSMENT EVIDENCE. This file must be available for cluster, provincial and national moderation.  All learners' Written Section and Performance Section evidence should be available at all times and remains the property of the Department of Education until the final results are released. Keep these written pieces and DVD-saved performances locked up in your classroom. This is a school responsibility. HOW TO MARK/ASSESS THE PATs Teachers should ensure the assessment/marking of PATs:  Measures the achievement of the CAPS Broad Topics and Topics content: Concepts/Skills/ Knowledge as well as the theoretical and performance components of each topic.  Determines whether the Guideline for Standardisation of the Written Sections was followed.  Uses the relevant rubrics for the: o Theory Section: rubrics for the assignment, essay and research o Performance Section: rubrics for a poem, monologue, prose, movement and extract as well as the rubrics for the design, directing, film and stage management  Measures the learners' evidence and performance against the criteria and level descriptors of the rubrics.

Downloaded from hlayiso.com Dramatic Arts 7 DBE/PAT 2020 NSC  Adhere to the following principles of: o Fairness: An assessment should allow for learners of both genders and all backgrounds to do equally well and for all to have an equal opportunity to demonstrate the skills and knowledge being assessed. Fairness is jeopardized if bias exists in the task or in the marker. For a task to be fair, its content, context, and performance expectations should: reflect knowledge, skills, and experiences that are equally familiar and appropriate to all learners. This should include access to research resources. o Reliability: An assessment is considered reliable when the same results occur regardless of when the assessment occurs or who does the marking. o Validity: An indication of how well an assessment actually measures what it is supposed to measure. A valid task should :  Reflect actual knowledge or performance, not test-taking skills and memorised facts  Engage and motivate students to perform to the best of their ability  Be consistent with current educational theory and practice  Be rigorous in lesson plan design and teaching. This includes the design of detailed instructions, activities and exercises. This promotes scaffolding of thinking, planning for thinking, assessing thinking about content, recognising the level of thinking students demonstrate.  Be relevant in lesson plan design and teaching. This enhances the learners' ability to evaluate, justify, infer, predict, conclude, revise, recommend, argue, prioritise, formulate, etc. A relevant task is when learners recognise the connection between classroom knowledge and situations outside the classroom. MODERATION OF PATs 1. The moderation of the PAT's, although an important process, should be effected within the context of the whole process of planning, teaching, learning, assessment and moderation. The amount of time spent on moderating learner evidence should not take away from the importance of moderation of teaching and learning. 2. It is important to be clear that the purpose of moderation should focus on whether the CAPS Topics (skills, knowledge and content) have been TAUGHT and LEARNT. 3. Moderation is a shared understanding of several steps and processes. Familiarise yourself with the meaning, purpose and scope of the following steps/processes: Step 1: Verification This is a quick and short first step in the moderation process. A checklist is used to tick off which items of evidence, as required by policy, have been submitted for moderation. Step 2: Moderation A template that lends itself to analyse the spread and scaffolding of Blooms' Taxonomy's 6 cognitive levels and 4 thinking processes, as applied to the CAPS topics. Officials must ensure moderation includes the following: a. Lesson Plans: Are the lesson plan activities based on the content of the CAPS topics? b. Assessment Task Plans: Are the assessment task activities/briefs/instructions based on the CAPS topics and the respective lesson plan? c. Learner Assessment Evidence: Is the learner's assessment evidence based on the CAPS + the respective lesson plan + the respective assessment task? 4. Standard Setting Internal standardisation provides a system for checking the quality of assessment to make sure that it is:  Valid – relevant to the standards for which competence/attainment is claimed  Authentic – produced by the learners  Current – sufficiently recent for assessors to be confident that the learner still has the same level of skills or knowledge  Reliable – genuinely representative of the learner's knowledge and skills  Sufficient – meets all the requirements of the standards in full Copyright reserved Please turn over

The achievement levels are determined by the: o Topic's skills, knowledge, content and concepts o 6 cognitive levels o 4 thinking processes o 3 levels of difficulty Evidence of this will be found in the instructions, activities, exercises, briefs, etc. of the Lesson Plans, Assessment Task Plans and Learner Assessment Evidence which officials must moderate. It must be clear what learners should know and be able to do when they have reached each level/topic. 5. Quality Assurance Officials must ensure the processes of the following are followed and available as evidence: Teacher training: all Dramatic Arts teachers must have official higher education training to offer the subject: minimum 3-year degree in Drama, PGCE as well as CAPS training Teacher plans: above 1, 2 and 3 items of evidence must be of value and be fair, valid and reliable. Clear teaching, learning and assessment of topics (skills, content, knowledge and concepts) must be contained in each activity, exercise, instruction, brief, etc. These must be scaffolded from lower to middle to higher order in terms of Blooms' Taxonomy. 6. Standardisation Standardisation is a process used the world over to mitigate the effect of factors other than the learners' knowledge and aptitude on the learners' performance. Officials must use the moderation evidence to assist teachers to understand, interpret and implement the CAPS topics' skills, knowledge, content and concepts 7. Moderation: a. Should take place each time a PAT is completed. b. Checks that assessment tasks and activities provide learners with fair and valid opportunities to meet the standards and expectations of the CAPS. c. Agrees on strengths in learners' performances and plans to improve skills and knowledge. d. Provides feedback on teacher judgments (setting and marking of PATs) to improve teaching. e. Raises standards and expectations and levels of consistency. f. Ensures learning is at the appropriate level and that learners develop skills for learning, life and work. g. Should be conducted internally at school level, by a peer teacher/HOD/principal before the cluster/provincial moderation. h. Should involve teachers in the moderation process to ensure professional development. i. Should ensure interreliability in the awarding of marks. Copyright reserved Please turn over
Downloaded from hlayiso.com Dramatic Arts 9 DBE/PAT 2020 NSC 3. LEARNER GUIDELINES INSTRUCTIONS TO LEARNERS Three PATs have to be completed during the year, one per term. Each of the three PATs consists of a Written Section as well as a Performance Section. You have to complete both and at all times integrate the theoretical and practical concepts, skills and content. Use these three PATs to: Select and prepare your three contrasting drama items for your end-of-year performance examination. NOTE: To select an item a month before your final examination is not a good idea, the reason being that emotional and physical integration takes time. You need months to grow into a poem, etc. Writing and theoretical conceptualisations, as well as higher-order thinking skills, take practice. Use the three writing/theoretical sections to ensure you know how to write down your thoughts, learning and experiences in a form that will achieve the aims, structure and form of a written examination.

Downloaded from hlayiso.com Dramatic Arts 11 DBE/PAT 2020 NSC ABSENCE OR NON-SUBMISSION OF TASKS Absence or non-submission of PATs will result in an INCOMPLETE mark. Only if a valid medical certificate is presented the day the learner returns to school, can another deadline for handing in or performing the PAT be decided on by both the teacher and the learner. REQUIREMENTS FOR PRESENTATION See the list of Minimum Resources; Facilities, Equipment, LTSM, Timetabling, etc. that should be in place before the PATs are taught, implemented and assessed. These resources should be available to the teacher and the learners to complete the three PATs. The teacher should draw up a Lesson Plan for ALL of the Topics being covered by a specific PAT. In addition, a clear assessment brief with detailed Instructions should be facilitated with the learners. TIMEFRAMES Teachers: Teach, administer, assess and record and report on one PAT per term 1, 2 and 3. Communicate in writing, exact, non-negotiable dates for handing in or performing the PATs. Learners: Ensure you follow the assessment brief and instructions. Hand in, or perform your PAT on time to ensure you achieve a mark. DECLARATION OF AUTHENTICITY Practical tasks are not limited to a performance. The PAT tasks (1, 3, and 5) are a preparation for your mid-year, trial and end-of-year written and performance exams. Integrate the theory aspect of the PAT with the practical aspect. Engage in planning, preparation, research, skills building and reflection before you hand in your essay, research task or assignment. Rehearse your performance items until you can perform fluently and with confidence. Use these smaller opportunities to lay a foundation for your later theoretical and practical exam work. Learners will be required to answer practical-based questions in their final written paper. Copyright reserved Please turn over

LIST OF RESOURCES The subject Dramatic Arts, like other subjects, requires specific resources for effective teaching, learning, presentations and performances to be achieved. Due to the fact that the subject is included on the designated list for higher education, officials from the Department of Basic Education have a responsibility to ensure that there is an informed and committed approach and that the minimum requirements are in place to ensure integrity in the teaching and learning of the subject. It is important to note that these resources need not be expensive or elaborate. It is equally important that if a school is not able to provide these subject-specific resources, the subject should preferably not be offered. Learners will be disadvantaged if resources such as the DBE-screened textbook, the prescribed play texts, chairs, a reasonably functional space/room for practical work are not available. (The DBE, through the annual norms and standards, makes provision for minimum resources to be purchased for all the subjects offered by a school. The school management committee or the equivalent of this body is tasked to ensure every subject's needs are met.) In November/December of the previous year teachers should ensure that the following basic resources are in evidence in the Dramatic Arts classroom for a functional start to the new year. HUMAN RESOURCES A teacher with a drama qualification should teach and assess the CAPS and its respective annual programme of assessment which includes the three PATs. A suitably qualified teacher for this subject could have the following background:  Bachelor of Arts (Drama)  Bachelor of Education (Drama)  Licentiate in Drama Teaching, Trinity College  Diploma from LAMDA  Or any other officially accredited, 360-credit qualification in Drama  In addition to all of the above, a one-year post graduate certificate in teaching or diploma in training. Note the following is not an appropriate or sufficient qualification to teach Dramatic Arts:  The creative arts teacher  An actor/actress  A drama enthusiast  The English language teacher  The dance teacher LTSM: EQUIPMENT AND FACILITIES Learners have to experiment with the use of space, levels, entrances and exits. The following basic items will provide opportunity to fill the empty space creatively with set pieces etc.:  A double classroom, or an open space  4 x wooden blocks/cubes/plastic crates/chairs or an alternative affordable equivalent (ensure that if plastic crates or chairs are used that they are strong enough to bear the weight of performers)  4 x flat screens/hanging cloths/cardboard boxes or an alternative affordable alternative  4 x stage steps or an alternative affordable alternative  Tables and chairs serve as décor pieces  The following are not prerequisites, but would be advantageous; a stage, lighting and sound facilities Copyright reserved Please turn over
Downloaded from hlayiso.com Dramatic Arts 14 DBE/PAT 2020 NSC LTSM: REFERENCE  1 x DBE screened textbook per learner  1 x DBE screened textbook per Dramatic Arts teacher  3 x play texts, 1 for each of the selected genres; 3 x per learner Photo copies of any of the above are illegal and can subject the school to lawsuits by publishers, textbook writers and playwrights  1 x workbook per learner  1 x file/box for the teacher to safe keep planning and administration for moderation  1 x file/box for the teacher to safe keep learner assessment evidence for moderation  1 x black T-shirt/comfortable top + black long pants + shoes for learners' practical work  Field trips. 1 x per term to a professional play/drama  The following is not a prerequisite, but would be beneficial: A DVD of a professionally staged performance of a play text in each of the genres and dramatic movements. The learners have to demonstrate understanding and applied competence in e.g.: o Commedia dell' arte Scapino by Moliere o African Drama Forms o Greek Theatre: Antigone by Sophocles o South African Theatre; any works/workshop play o Elizabethan Theatre: Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare o Realism: Have you seen Zandile by Gina Hlope o Epic Theatre: Caucasian Chalk Circle by Bertolt Brecht o Theatre of the Absurd: Waiting for Godot by Samuel Beckett o Post-Modern Theatre: Top girls by Carol Churchill o South African Theatre Pre-1994: Woza Albert! by M Ngema, P Mtwa, B Simon o South African Theatre Post-1994 Missing by Reza de Wet ARTICULATION WITH GET The teacher teaching drama in creative arts should ensure learners in Grades 8 and 9 receive a solid foundation in the concepts: skills, knowledge and content of Drama. At the end of Grade 9 it is suggested that interviews and auditions be held to ensure only learners who are disciplined, hardworking, interested, committed and have potential are selected for FET Dramatic Arts. Ensure that the class ratio for Grade 10 is as per the provincial set norm. If Drama classes are too full injuries may occur and the interested and hardworking drama learners may be disadvantaged because they will not receive the dedicated one on one teaching required for drama. TIMETABLING Timetabling for Dramatic Arts requires a minimum of 4 hours per week during school time and one hour after school. This hour ration is applicable to Grades 10, 11 and 12 respectively. Additional time is essential after school hours for completion of the PATs, remediation, enrichment, rehearsals, performances and field trips to view drama performances. 5. CONCLUSION On completion of the practical assessment task learners should be able to demonstrate their understanding of the industry, enhance their knowledge, skills, values and reasoning abilities as well as establish connections to life outside the classroom and address real-world challenges.

Presuming that scripts have to be adapted Script and script from existing works (plays, poems or prose), scripts must communicate the essence interpretation/ of the source work but must be adapted for screen in a way that is cinematic/audio- adaptation for film visual. Scripts must have an appropriate narrative arc with a sense of beginning middle and end – even if it is cyclical or repetitive. Scripts must 'show not tell'. Dialogue must be lean and not overburdened with detail. Production File: Learners should show extensive pre-production work in a production file which could Pre-production and also include a journal. This shows the thinking, planning and process behind the film production as well as indicating that the work as the candidate's own. Learners must include planning and documents such as treatments, notes on production design, a script outline, documents: shot- storyboards, a shot list, a call sheet (containing all the key details of the shoot). I think list, call-sheet, contingencies here are the 'plan Bs' that emerge during the process. This can also be contingencies, etc. included in the journal. Production File: This can be included in the file above but is a section specifically on the post- Post-production production process. This could include log sheets, other editing notes, notes on the documents and process and difficulties encountered (again, the Plan Bs) and journal notes on the reflection post production process as a whole. Cinematography Are shots well-composed? Have the shots been planned? Are shots appropriate for the content? Are shots motivated? Camera movement or stillness used well? Are visuals striking? Mise-en-scène Does the mise-en-scène tie in with and support the overall production design? How effectively has the location been used or a set been created? Efficacy of props, costumes, make-up, hair – has attention been paid to all of these? Audio elements/ Can we hear what's going on? How effectively has a soundscape been created, Effects including ambient sound? Has (royalty-free) music been used effectively to create mood and support or drive visuals and narrative? Have sound effects been used (where relevant) to enhance the production? Editing Does the editing of the film make sense? Is it smooth and free of unintentional errors?

NOTE: The selection contains three different DRAMATIC ITEMS: Monologue + Poem + Scene and three different GENRES: Elizabethan + Realism + Theatre of the Absurd. Through selecting a variety of items and genres the learner is able to demonstrate versatility and the full range of skills and knowledge required by the subject. MONOLOGUE GENRE: ELIZABETHAN HAMLET BY WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE HAMLET: To be, or not to be--that is the question: Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune Or to take arms against a sea of troubles And by opposing end them. To die, to sleep-- No more--and by a sleep to say we end The heartache, and the thousand natural shocks That flesh is heir to. 'Tis a consummation Devoutly to be wished. To die, to sleep-- To sleep--perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub, For in that sleep of death what dreams may come When we have shuffled off this mortal coil, Must give us pause. There's the respect That makes calamity of so long life. For who would bear the whips and scorns of time, Th' oppressor's wrong, the proud man's contumely The pangs of despised love, the law's delay, The insolence of office, and the spurns That patient merit of th' unworthy takes, When he himself might his quietus make With a bare bodkin? Who would fardels bear, To grunt and sweat under a weary life, But that the dread of something after death, The undiscovered country, from whose bourn No traveller returns, puzzles the will, And makes us rather bear those ills we have Than fly to others that we know not of? Thus conscience does make cowards of us all, And thus the native hue of resolution Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought, And enterprise of great pitch and moment With this regard their currents turn awry And lose the name of action. -- Soft you now, The fair Ophelia! -- Nymph, in thy orisons Be all my sins remembered.

POZZO: Except the firmament. (He laughs, pleased with this witticism.) But I see what it is, you are not from these parts, you don't know what our twilights can do. Shall I tell you? (Silence. Estragon is fiddling with his boot again, Vladimir with his hat.) I can't refuse you. (Vaporizer.) A little attention, if you please. (Vladimir and Estragon continue their fiddling, Lucky is half asleep. Pozzo cracks his whip feebly.) What's the matter with this whip? (He gets up and cracks it more vigorously, finally with success. Lucky jumps. Vladimir's hat, Estragon's boot, Lucky's hat, fall to the ground. Pozzo throws down the whip.) Worn out, this whip. (He looks at Vladimir and Estragon.) What was I saying? VLADIMIR: Let's go. ESTRAGON: But take the weight off your feet, I implore you, you'll catch your death. POZZO: True. (He sits down. To Estragon.) What is your name? ESTRAGON: Adam. POZZO: (who hasn't listened). Ah yes! The night. (He raises his head.) But be a little more attentive, for pity's sake, otherwise we'll never get anywhere. (He looks at the sky.) Look! (All look at the sky except Lucky who is dozing off again. Pozzo jerks the rope.) Will you look at the sky, pig! (Lucky looks at the sky.) Good, that's enough. (They stop looking at the sky.) What is there so extraordinary about it? Qua sky. It is pale and luminous like any sky at this hour of the day. (Pause.) In these latitudes. (Pause.) When the weather is fine. (Lyrical.) An hour ago (he looks at his watch, prosaic) roughly (lyrical) after having poured forth even since (he hesitates, prosaic) say ten o'clock in the morning (lyrical) tirelessly torrents of red and white light it begins to lose its effulgence, to grow pale (gesture of the two hands lapsing by stages) pale, ever a little paler, a little paler until (dramatic pause, ample gesture of the two hands flung wide apart) pppfff! finished! it comes to rest. But– (hand raised in admonition)– but behind this veil of gentleness and peace, night is charging (vibrantly) and will burst upon us (snaps his fingers) pop! like that! (his inspiration leaves him) just when we least expect it. (Silence. Gloomily.) That's how it is on this bitch of an earth. Long silence. ESTRAGON: So long as one knows. VLADIMIR: One can bide one's time. ESTRAGON: One knows what to expect. VLADIMIR: No further need to worry. ESTRAGON: Simply wait. VLADIMIR: We're used to it. He picks up his hat, peers inside it, shakes it, puts it on. POZZO: How did you find me? (Vladimir and Estragon look at him blankly.) Good? Fair? Middling? Poor? Positively bad?

Pozzo struggles inwardly. POZZO: Gentlemen, you have been . . . civil to me. ESTRAGON: Not at all! VLADIMIR: What an idea! POZZO: Yes yes, you have been correct. So that I ask myself is there anything I can do in my turn for these honest fellows who are having such a dull, dull time. ESTRAGON: Even ten francs would be a help. VLADIMIR: We are not beggars! POZZO: Is there anything I can do, that's what I ask myself, to cheer them up? I have given them bones, I have talked to them about this and that, I have explained the twilight, admittedly. But is it enough, that's what tortures me, is it enough? ESTRAGON: Even five. VLADIMIR: (to Estragon, indignantly). That's enough! ESTRAGON: I couldn't accept less.
