Best Piece of Academic Work and Reflective Essay

For this part of my portfolio, I decided to include the best of my academic work from both Theatre and History.

I.   Theatre Senior Project -My Theatre Department Senior Project was a 45 minute performance that I wrote, edited, directed, costumed, and performed with a fellow Theatre Education major, Alex Saint.  This is a reflective essay about what we did and includes the important documents that we created (costume and music lists, a program, performance outline, etc).

II. History Research Paper- My History work was a 25 paged research paper on Lucille Ball.  I wrote this paper in Spring 2013 in Anya Jabour's class: Writing Women's Lives.  In this class I learned how to research and gather evidence and information, group the information, form an argument, and formally write a paper that is backed with reliable primary and secondary sources.
