The Essay for Romeo and Juliet

Romeo and Juliet Persuasive Essay
Some people think that reading a book and taking tests are the only way to learn a story.  There are other ways to learn the story, rather than just reading it and taking tests, students can act it out. There are many important reasons for filming the play.  Using technology can help a student become smart with various filming methods. Having interaction with other people can also help in making friends.  Different students have different talents.  Therefore, using your talents that you have to your advantage helps a person to make great things.  Finally, students learn in different ways – visually or spatially.    Although there are many reasons that you could use to explain why acting out the play is better, technology, interaction of people, varying talents among students, different styles of learning are the best of them all.
Technology helps people study more efficiently than just reading the book because business is moving at a fast pace and new communication devices are being invented daily.  It also helps people learn how to use them properly for the future.  By using video, students and adults can download the productions all over the world, and don’t have to rely on carrying heavy books all over the place.  It also helps you reach a wider audience than just a single classroom.   Technology is also renewable and is harder to destroy, which means that it’s available to the students in the future.  Our cameraman used his camera to film the play and used the computer to edit the play after it was filmed.  Technology also leads to great interaction with other people, such as the students and teachers in Iowa. 
Interaction with other students and other teachers is better because it will help students make many more friends across the countries that have many different customs and personal experiences that they have gone through.  More people that you interact with helps you create empathy for each other.  It also helps spread information from place to place in a short period of time and without any trouble.  Just like when people tried out for the play, and made friends with people that they didn’t know before.  It helps you become a better communicator by helping you adapt to a new group and a new way to visually present information.  This also shows that not everybody learns the same way.
Not everyone learns the same way.  Some people are visual learners and some are spatial learners.  By having the play on film you can see what your weaknesses and what your strengths are, before you do your final copy.  The play also helps you speak in front of a crowd and helps your posture.  This play also helps students by tapping into other learning methods.  Some students learned right off the bat while other students took forever to learn their parts, even if they were little.  While technology students will be operating cameras, splicing film and editing the final product, other students will be learning their parts and interacting with others, artistic students will be using their talents to work on the costumes and scenery.
Artistic students can use their fabulous talent by sewing costumes and by painting the props.  Artistic students who are the actors need costumes. It is very difficult to have a good play if the costumes and scenery are not appropriate.  The mechanical students can use their computer skills for creating websites to promote the play to their friends and other people. While the play was being filmed the computer people can put the play that was being filmed on twitter and facebook. By filming characters they can make them look good for the play.  Also the filming and artistic skills can help prepare the students for future jobs in the technology industry with their friends by the students keep advancing on their skills until they are professionals.   It is important for everyone to realize that not everyone has the same talents and learning processes.   
These are the reasons why acting out the play is tremendously better than just reading the book.  Technology can help students, such as filming become more involved.  Students can also interact with each other more which gives them immediate feedback.  They can learn the same material quicker, and see what their weaknesses and strengths are while they’re filming.  Students who may not be talented in technology and have difficulty interacting with other students may find their outlet in another way.  They may be able to use their talents to do many different things like sewing costumes, and painting scenery.   Parents should realize that there are many reasons that you could use to explain why acting out the play is better, technology, interaction of people, varying talents among students, different styles of learning are the best of them all.

The Last Blog

I am happy that we have finished the bloging and that everybody did a good job.
I am glad that we also have done this play. 
Now I am going to try to do plays more often and do other things similar to this play. This has been a great experiance for me, and I'm sure it was for other people too. 
It was also very fun to do this play with the rest of the people.  Even thought I had to fight with my friends.
