King Lear Line recital Reflection: Reflect on the experience of memorizing and presenting your lines. Why do you think dramatic presentation/memorization is called a "lost art"? (Why do you think these types of assignments are rarely assigned to students?) What skills does this assignment foster? How did you learn your lines? If you could repeat the experience, what changes would you make? Which students performance did you admire most and why? Your reflection must be no less than one full page.
