Teacher Feedback
- In the director’s statement, you clearly described the history of the Trojan War with a particular focus on Hector.
However, you needed to outline the character’s attributes in more detail such as his personalities, motivations and
relationships with other characters. The drawing component required more craft and elements. You also needed to
state how you will perform the role effectively.
- In the performance, you effectively memorised the entire content off by heart. You also demonstrated a sound
understanding of the attributes of the selected character in your rehearsal. To improve, you could have used props
and costumes more effectively in your performance. Overall, a good effort!
