maybe it is!! I personally feel like it's very hard to make high schoolers write about a totalitarian regime where the vast majority of us would have never experienced it and can't fathom its restriction, so I feel that many arguments would end up being shallow, but I suppose the whole point of the module is to reveal new insights to the student
it's certainly got collective and individual experiences though! I'm sure there are great arguments and points to be made hehe

I read the book a while ago so I don't entirely remember it
t's very hard to make high schoolers write about a totalitarian regime where the vast majority of us would have never experienced it and can't fathom

that’s exactly the point they want you to write about your understanding about something they haven’t experienced because it develops your thinking and you need to explain yout thinking and your logic. Like when I asked students to write about a moment that never happened but how they imagine it

you need to talk about form of shakespeare's play, historical drama (NOT A TRAGEDY), and you need to talk about Pacino's context more, capitalism, individualism, apathy, 21st century, etc. Could also elaborate a bit more on shakespeare
can someone please give me feedback on my introduction for mod a??
'A text on its own is interesting but when you compare it with another text it becomes illuminating and dynamic’ How has your study of the connections between KRIII and LFR shaped and reshaped your response to the texts?
A comparative study of William Shakespeare’s King Richard III and Al Pacino’s Looking for Richard reveals interesting conversations on the dynamic representations of power and duplicity across time. Whilst RIII condemns Richard’s Machiavellian capacity to remain interesting and appealing to its religious Elizabethan audience, LFR intentionally collides with this by validating it as a means for self-advancement. By comparing the divine retribution and moral absolutism of Shakespeare’s work to the psychological and contextual relativism of Pacino’s docudrama, our responses to these texts are reshaped to reveal an illuminating conversation on the complexity of the human condition. Thus, the study of these connections not only bridges the early modern and contemporary audiences, but also offers a powerful exploration on the dynamic reception of timeless themes in accessible ways.
