Class assignment 1 (pair work, done orally): Recollect the stories about "Winnie-the-Poor" and express your opinion on the following: why Christopher Robin, the only human in the book, became unseen and was substituted by the voice of an adult male narrator in the cartoon? Did it contribute to a certain reality representation or was it a "medium constraint"?

Class assignment 2 (pair work, done orally): UNSEEN CHARACTERS Unseen characters are a common device in drama. They can be roughly clastered in the following groups: Never seen, only mentioned (One of the most famous characters never to be seen is in the TV series "Columbo", where the wife of the main character is often mentioned but never ever seen.) Heard but not seen (One of the characters famous for being heard but not seen was Charlie from ''Charlie's Angels''.) Partially seen characters Unseen characters who were spoken of for a long time and then eventually seen Think of other examples for these groups and try to explain why this device might be efficient in drama. Class assignment 3 (group work, done orally): Watch the video and analyze the ways TV uses to create reality in this example.
