Beijing tour Beijing travel China tour - Beijing Opera
www.tour-beijing.com/nightlife_guide/beijing_opera.php
This is an actual tourist quide to showings of operas-it even has show times and theates. I just think this is a really interesting thing to look at because it kind of shows that this form of opera is still popular today and that you could still go and see it.

Daily Progress #7
My goal for today was to continue trying CONTINUE(once again) to get these 18 index cards and 7 progress posts in!
Today, I got another two index cards in-leaving me with two more to go. I've noticed that finding good/useful websites are harder to come by-which is a shame.
I found a book that covers the peking opera and it makes me wonder if I can find a book at the library that may be useful. We'll see.
Anyhow, my next action will be to finish my last two note cards out and pray that we wont have to do anymore. I also want to start organizing my information.

Chinese opera - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_opera
I know I shouldn't use wikipedia because it's not a very reliable source, but I feel that it can help me separate ideas. For example, when I searched Beijing Opera, I kept seeing the Perking Opera and I said to myself, I want Beijing Opera, not this Perking deal. The I looked at wikipedia because I wanted to get just a basic idea of how many forms of opera there was and I found out that Perking and Beijing Operas are one in the same.

Daily Progress #3
My action upon entering the day was to start finding information covering the topic of the Beijing Opera.
Today, I started to look at other websites and picture that I may find helpful later on and began to "index card" them.
What I did today has helped me answer my research question by starting to cover some of the information that I need. I've began to look at the roles played-such as the female and male roles and the "clown" or comedy actor. I also know from my research that most actors that performed had to be skilled in acrobatics. And so on.......
My next action will be to keep on my search to find the perfect information to include in my project-I also want to begin brain storming what my final project will look like.

My next action will be to keep on my search to find the perfect information to include in my project-I also want to begin brain storming what my final project will look like.
FINAL PRODUCTION SELECTION
1)My research question is: What was the Beijing Opera? (How did it work? What time period did it flourish in? What is a brief history of-? Effects? etc,...)
2)I would like my project to be kind of a Diorama of a basic theater and actors; also, what it's like back stage with a brief lecture to explain about my topic and list some facts.-I am also considering doing drawings of close ups on actors and the like.
3)I like the idea of this form because without a visual, I feel that people wont quite grasp the main idea of this form of theater. Chinese Opera itself is in it's self a visual performance. I feel I can do it the best justice by doing a detailed visual of such.
4)I' hoping the finished project will provide both a good visual and a short-sweet-and-to-the-point kind of lecture that will entail good, yet still easy to follow information over my topic.
5)I feel that the finished project will display mastery by showing that I understand the meaning and having a good feel for what Chinese Opera is; And, what it's all about. My project should also show that I understand the CORRECT setup of the show and all the meanings and ways that make Chinese Opera what it is.
6)Agenda:
1. I will search for information, sort it all out(making sense of it all-if you will) and finding all that I will put into my "lecture".
2.After that, I want to have all my info written down SOMEHOW, so I have something to look at while explaining my topic.
3.THE DIORAMA! I can only hope to the be able to find a detailed, yet accurate set up to how the plays are set up and a glimpse or to as to what's backstage.
4.Putting it all together....Enough said.
5. The finishing touches....
7)????
ALL OF THE INFORMATION ABOVE(hopefully wont have to be completely set in stone) MAY NOT STAY THE SAME AS I PROGRESS THROUGH THIS "ENDEAVOR".

Daily Progress #2
2/12/09
My goal for today is to once again, try to decide on a topic for this project. I also want to, once I decide on my topic, to get a move on into the seven product prospective questions.
-----------------------------------
I have decided to do my project over the Chinese Opera. It was a tough decision, even in the end, but I've finally come to a good topic that I think(hope) I can stick with.
What I did today has helped me find a question to answer for my research project.
My next action is to start collecting data.

(2/6/09)
Friday was our first day of our World History class. On Friday, I had a list of some of the ideas of what I considered doing my project about. My goal for the day was to do a brush over of the topics wrote down and try to decide what I want to do for my project.
On Friday, I still hadn't found the topic that I wanted to research; however, I did shorten my list. I also got both my blog spot and Delicious accounts set up.
What I did Friday didn't really help the answer to my research question because I have still not decided what I want my research to be over.
My next action will be to decide on a topic and start my research!
