Auditions for RENT at Baruch
Calling all actors, singers, and musicians! Audition for RENT at Baruch College. Students who participate in the production will have the opportunity to earn extra credit for this course by writing a short paper reflecting on your experience and what you learned.
First Critical Question Assignment
Your assignment for Thursday is to post a critical question about the reading (Theatre Histories 1-39 OR “Contraband”).
A critical question is a question that engages with the reading and prompts discussion. You can make a point, raise a problem, pose a scenario, respond to a debate, or ask a clarification question about a specific concept or passage. A good critical question is one that can lead to discussion. If you can easily answer the question, it’s not a great critical question. Critical questions should be 1-2 sentences long and may consist of just a question or a question plus explanation.
Remember, your job is to pose a question, not to answer it! That being said, if you’d like to respond to a classmate’s question you may comment on the blog. Online commenting will boost your participation grade for this course.
Post your critical question by going to your Blogs@Baruch “Dashboard” for this course, then clicking on “Posts” and “New Post.” Please post your question before 10 AM on Thursday.
