DISCUSSION (10 points)
In Swan Lake we get to see two sides of what it looks like the same character. Although usually one ballerina plays both characters, this time we’ll break the rules and now you get to choose! Please answer the following:
If you had the chance to participate in Swan Lake, which character would you like to play more: the Swan Queen (Odette) or the Black Swan (Odile)? Or if you are a male student, would you rather play Prince Siegfried or Von Rothbart?
There is no right or wrong answer, just please explain the reasons behind your wishes. At least 100 words for full marks. Please post your answer in the correct thread in our Class Forum.

RESEARCH (20 points)
In Swan Lake, more scientific people may tell you that Odette is the representation of a severe case of Schizophrenia (as portrayed in the 2010 movie Black Swan). For this activity, please do a further research on SCHIZOPHRENIA, telling me about all important and interesting information about this mental disorder. Make your report at least 200 words long for full marks.
COLORING (20 points)
Have fun and make pretty this coloring page! You may do it using any computer program, or if you prefer, print the image and color it by hand! Please do not send your work as an attachment, submit it to an image hosting site like Photobucket, and then send me the link to your picture.
PUZZLE (20 points)
Solve the following jigsaw puzzle. When you are done, please take a screen capture of your finished puzzle and submit it to an image hosting site like Photobucket, and then send me the link to your picture.
ART PROJECT (30 points)
Your Swan Costume! The time of your life has come and you were casted to be Odette and Odile in the next revival of Swan Lake! However the costume designer is on vacation and now it is your duty to design your very own swan costumes! By costumes, I mean that you have to design your Swan Queen costume and your Black Swan costume. It can be a drawing, a graphic, a sculpture, a photograph, or any other mean of art that you can think of! You can also use a doll maker program and create your own doll, just remember that I need to see both of your swan costumes. Be creative! Please do not send your work as an attachment, submit it to an image hosting site like Photobucket, and then send me the link to your picture.
CREATIVE WRITING (30 points)
Swan Dialogue! Now it is the time to put yourself in the place of the Swan Qeen and the Black Swan and write a dialogue between these two parts of yourself. If in your mind you had both characters talking, how their conversation would be? Write it in at least 30 dialogues for your complete points.
