Global Issues in Plays This assignment was developed with the global learning core competency rubric and its dimensions in mind. The objective is for students to understand and articulate the intention of a play and the significance of choices the playwright makes. Students are also expected to articulate how the play fits into a social/political context on a global level and articulate how the student can relate or not relate to the point of view and why. This process provides the student an opportunity to open their minds to plays beyond entertainment purposes and have a deeper understanding of a writer’s intention.

Play-writing Project HUT 101, The Art of Theatre, is the entrance level course for the Theatre program. It addresses the integrative learning core competency and the oral communication ability. As a freshman course, it provides a baseline for measurement of this competency and communication ability. It is required of all Theatre majors, and is part of the CUNY Flexible Core in Creative Expression. There are generally more non-majors than majors in the class. This assignment was originally developed during our first mini-grant period (2016-17 the academic year) by Celia Braxton and Abby Gerdts with the global learning core competency rubric and digital communication ability in mind. It was a close adaptation of an assignment Abby had devised for a course at another college, with a digital communication component tacked on. We discussed and refined the assignment in the late Fall 2016 semester, and it was introduced into the course in Spring I 2017 in two classes. That semester, the HUT 101 course was packed with two other Core Competency assignments--an inquiry and problem solving/written and an integrative learning/oral assignment. It was a tall order for one introductory freshman course!
