Electives

[Jacko]

I need some help- some professional help

What do you guys recommend I take as my electives for next year, and the year after? We got our choices today, and I have about a week to decide. I need to choose 3 electives out of:

Agriculture Technology
Commerce
Dance
Drama
Food Technology
Graphics Technology
Information and Software Technology
Industrial Technology- Timber
Industrial Technology- Metal
Japanese
Physical Activity and Sports Studies Elective
Textiles Technology
Visual Arts

I'm thinking Food Technology and Info and Software, but I don't have a third- and we're only allowed to pick a maximum of two electives that have the word "Technology" in them, so my third can't be anything "Technology". I can't decide a third- can anyone help, or make some suggestions for me?!?

btw, I hate Timber, Metal and Graphics, so don't suggest them- there's no way I'm taking them.

I took drama before. It was an easy "A", (at least for me it was easy.)

[Sam Winchester]

Yeah, I'd go for either DRAMA or VISUAL ARTS.

[Jacko]

I was thinking Drama, maybe I might do that...?

Well, what do you want to be when you grow up.

I want to be a teacher/author/screenwriter *one of the three*
So I took two acting classes, a psych class and a writing class. I suggest you take a look at what you want to do when you're all grown up and figure out what will look best on a college transcript.

Dom said it perfectly.

But drama is fun. Not to mention you can do what I did, which was too convince my drama teacher to write a play for the class.. Maybe you can do a play on a Golden Beach episode..!

My school doesn't have a screenwriting class (I'm working on it though. ) so I took two Acting classes to supplement- in the class description it said, "Students will write their own one act play and perform it as their final" which I did and got an A on! ;D

I would get bagged so much at my school if I had to do some kind of musical or dramatic performance, but mum is urging me to take Drama, because it involves scriptwriting/reading and all that as part of the course, so it would help me out in a writing career when I'm older...I'm thinking of being an author, and writing for a TV show wouldn't be too bad, either...

My suggestions would be....

A. Drama - Especially if your school focuses on performing arts, you'll form a bond with your fellow classmates that you'll carry outside of school. You'll grow into a tight-knit group of friends and learn a lot in the process. I'm an actor and everytime I write I look at it from an actor's and a screenwriter's point of view. How would an actor portray this?

B. Information and Software Technology - It's kind of a no-brainer on why this is a suggestion of mine. We live in a technological world and the more we know, the better.

C. Japanese - Being bi-lingual or tri-lingual is really important in getting jobs in the future. If you speak more languages then a person equally qualified, 90% of the time, that job is yours.
