]] Self Evaluation 1) To start off with the bad things. First the transition of characters from nurse to lady capulet. vice versa. Also use of space and the use of props was very poor. To move on to good things.. First the delivery of lines including pronunciation seemed much better than when we practiced. 2) I feel that I've contributed enough. The annotations and stage directions on the script were written by me and stage sketch and costume sketches were also mine. 3) I think my delivery of lines was fine but than character change between the Nurse and Lady Capulet was very poor. 4) More practice and if we had some more time we could have memorized our lines and the delivery of expressions would be much more clearer. 5) Basically it helped me interpret the scene in my own way. THe language was hard when I first read the scene but by being given time to interpret and to translate it really helped me understand in normal english.
