We're at the library right now...waiting for the library cards.
This sucks. Everytime I try to get a card, something goes wrong. Apparently, we need some kind of signature for it or something. I hope we have time to get all our stuff. We're leaving at 12 and I wanted to check out Dracula. :[

seems like forever
Yesterday I went to my internship early, so I didn't post. I'm doing good on my research and I think I'm going to start staying mondays to get some more done. There's way too much on my plate right now and I can never work at home :/
But, I found the 2 books I'm going to get for tomorrow at the libray:
Ley, Graham. "A Short Introduction to Ancient Greek Theatre." Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 2006.
Nardo, Don. "Greek Drama." San Diego, CA: Greenhaven Press, 2000.

Researching
I've been getting a LOT of research done on my topic. I got all my note setups done (I made myself little template things!) and am taking them now. I have 6 articles in my webliography. I need to finish that tonight though. I have articles ready for evaluating to put in the webliography, but I just need to get it done.
I have a place for the play!!! WE can do it at the Hazelnut so far, but I need to talk to Mrs. King about some things first, though.

My Poster/Collage
I want to make a new poster, but for now this is what I have.
It's supposed to depict the play we're performing and hopefully captures some of the dramatic, tense feeling I felt when reading Perseus and Medusa (or the copies of it I collected) and thought of if I ever decided to write the script for one.
I want to change it around because I don't know if that's the play we're doing. Plus, now that I know I'm working with kids, I want it to be less scary and tense and more fun. At the same time, I want to keep it educational and keep the original feelings and ideas of the myth. I also want to keep it as a possible flyer for our performace dates.
Action Plan!!!
So I've FINALLY decided what to do and everything I need now.
Research is coming along, but I could be doing way better. I'll be on task more this week, though and get a lot of work in for my paper.
I asked my minister and made sure everything was ok with Ms. King and everyone else and I even asked some of my cousins if they'd help. I'm going to try to put on a play at my Chruch's Coffehouse (The Hazelnut). Instead of having the Drama Club perform it, I'm going to use the kids from my neighborhood and kids from my church. I'll have practices and stuff. I've already got a place, so far it's going to be free, but the funds will probably go to the Hazelnut and hopefully I'll get to keep some to donate somewhere. I'm not 100% sure on everything yet, but I'm only supposed to be researching right now anyway.

right now.....
I am compiling my webliography (the rest of it). I decided to just make a new blog for it.
I also found a graphic novel (thanks mr rucker) that would make a REALLY good play. The only thing is it's not greek. It's about a girl who grew up in Iran around the time of the Islamic revolution and stuff that happened. It's really long, but I don't have to use the whole thing. Since it's just about her childhood, I could do part of the book. It would make sense. It's worded simply (since it's a graphic novel) and provides a lot of illustration to help with the ideas.
Mrs. King said I'd have to get the copyright info and stuff and permission from the publishing company and all that jazz. I could still use my research about Greeks and just use some of the methods and styles and ideas they had. That's all my research paper is really on, anyways.
Well, here's the myths that I mentioned earlier that were also an idea:
King Midus and the Golden Touch
http://www.childstoryhour.com/story22.htm
Theseus and the Minotaur
http://historylink102.com/greece2/theseus.htm
The Trojan Horse story
http://www.historyforkids.org/learn/greeks/religion/myths/trojanhorse.htm
Enjoy! Tell me what you think!

5 minutes...
I FINISHED MY QUESTIONS!!!!
I'm finally done I'm so happy! It was hard. I also have a new inspiration for a script. Medusa is a good story, but some things are a little outrageous to perform. Thanks to Mrs. King, there are a few stories I have now that can be put into a more realistic script and modernized easier. Then again, I'm supposed to challenge myself. We'll see what happens.
I'll post the actual myths later on!
