Gratiano and Nerissa argue over Nerissa’s ring.

Portia reveals that she had been disguised as a man and took Bassanio’s ring.

Antonio tries to stop the arguing.

Reflection:

For my groups’ Merchant of Venice Tableau, I admit that it was kind of slow going at first. It was hard to find a good photoshop app and we had some trial and error. We eventually decided on just taking the pictures anyways, but then we figured out how to add the background. We could have improved on efficiency. Adding the correct background was pretty time consuming because we had to use an apple pencil to colour out the background of the classroom and add the appropriate background. As for the actual photo, we had to improvise because our group didn’t have enough boys for all the shots. For one picture, Megan was Gratiano and I was Nerissa. Sofia was Antonio in another (she wore a hood). Scene 5 was a fairly easy scene to capture, as it was probably the shortest scene in the play. Our photos are based on the arguments about Portia and Nerissa’s rings and Antonio trying to stop the arguing. Overall, I’m okay with how our photos turned out, and it was good that we had to find creative ways to solve problems.
