Renaissance Fair Relfection


I had many new experiences during the Renaissance Fair. For example, one of my new experiences was learning new dances and being able to remember and perform them. I’m not the kind of person who likes to dance so learning dances like these was a brand new experience for me. Another new experience for me was playing the recorder. Before this unit, I had only played one instrument and that was the guitar for school as well so, playing the recorder in the Renaissance fair was also a new experience. The Renaissance fair took a lot of planning and hard work from all of the students and teachers. We were required to memorize lines we were given for our play, “Midsummer Night’s Dream” written by William Shakespeare. We also needed to know how to play the recorder, an instrument that we had been using for a period of time before the Renaissance fair. Also, we needed to know how to perform our dances and in what order they would be in. Finally, we had to be aware of what order all of this went in on the night of the Renaissance fair. Experiencing the Renaissance fair was something completely new for me. I have never been to a Renaissance fair so when I first heard about it, I wasn’t sure what to think about it but, after be able to be a part of one, I ultimately decided that it was a very interesting event to experience.
