This part of the course focuses on “exploratory strategies” which helped us use different methods to examine the role of women and understand Task 1- Unit 1. Over the last few weeks we studied the role of women, past and present… We neglected the typical stereotypes that we usually give to women of the past and looked deeper into their lives and how different it was from today. This part of the course focuses on “exploratory strategies” that helped us use different analysis methods. The role of women and their understanding. We started by looking at wealthy families in the 18th century and following the thinking of individual family members to gain insight into how they felt at a particular moment, i.e. dinner time, which is a very important moment because dinner in those days was a very formal occasion and usually children rarely spoke unless allowed to, so this can show all their thoughts that they couldn't express out loud. Role play was a good way to explore all the characters by putting yourself in different positions and imagining how the other person would feel. , say and think.

Recently, we have been “transversal”. Again, we were in two small groups of four or five and had a family, 18th century and modern day. My group chose Christmas time to play and the differences in behavior were huge. A while ago in a lesson we used freeze frames to do our work on life in the 18th century...it was difficult because with freeze frames you have to try to show and express as much as possible to to make the audience understand what is happening, I found some of the other exploratory strategies to be more suitable, because the freeze frames limit you in what is happening. you are able to show it. We studied for a few lessons the relationship between a mother and her daughter in an 18th century house and tried to put ourselves in their shoes and understand how they would feel about their lives and their relationship. In one of the lessons we were in groups of four, divided into pairs and one person from the pairs would be the same girl from the family and the other two would play the mother of the
