Evaluation Report of Prospero’s Island: an Immersive Approach to Literacy at Key Stage 3.
Prospero's Island is an immersive theatre project created by Punchdrunk Enrichment and sponsored by Learning Partner, London Borough of Hackney (Hackney Learning Trust). The project sought to inspire and motivate students’ engagement with the English curriculum, and to develop an immersive approach to teaching literacy that would improve students’ learning.
Prospero’s Island took place in a secondary academy in Hackney, London over two school terms (autumn 2014-spring 2015). The project was embedded in existing schemes of work, and included the following elements:
• An immersive theatre installation for Year 7-8 students (aged 11-13 years); this took the form of an interactive game based on The Tempest; over a two-week period groups of students participated in this experience for a morning or afternoon (autumn term);
• A Teaching and Learning Day (TALD) and eight twilight CPD sessions on immersive learning techniques for school staff and teachers across London (autumn term);
• A return to the installation for one lesson, led by English teachers (autumn term);
• Follow-on work by teachers to develop immersive learning in English lessons (spring term);
• An independent evaluation of the project (autumn and spring terms)

‘An Isle Full of Noises’: The Perception & Influence of Sound in Shakespeare’s The Tempest
Since the play’s authorship in 1610, actor-managers and directors alike have struggled over staging the opening scene of William Shakespeare’s The Tempest. The physical presence of the ship, the sounds and lighting effects of thunder and lightning, the dialogue of the actors, and the use of music have varied from the early 17th century to the present in an effort to appeal to the audience. The presentation of these elements, especially sound cues and music, prepares audiences to understand the dynamics of Prospero’s powers and transformation as a character. Depending on how sound and stage technologies were implemented in performance, directors have been able to present audiences with a Prospero that is depicted as either more or less of a sympathetic character

Light curves and colours of the faint Uranian irregular satellites Sycorax, Prospero, Stephano, Setebos and Trinculo
After the work of Gladman et al. (1998), it is now assessed that many
irregular satellites are orbiting around Uranus. Despite many studies have been
performed in past years, very few is know for the light-curves of these objects
and inconsistencies are present between colours derived by different authors.
This situation motivated our effort to improve both the knowledge of colours
and light curves. We present and discuss time series observations of Sycorax,
Prospero, Stephano, Setebos and Trinculo, five faint irregular satellites of
Uranus, carried out at VLT, ESO Paranal (Chile) in the nights between 29 and 30
July, 2005 and 25 and 30 November, 2005. We derive light curves for Sycorax and
Prospero and colours for all of these these bodies. For Sycorax we obtain
colours B-V =0.839 +/- 0.014, V-R = 0.531 +/- 0.005 and a light curve which is
suggestive of a periodical variation with period about 3.6 hours and amplitude
about 0.067 +/- 0.004 mag. The periods and colours we derive for Sycorax are in
agreement with our previous determination in 1999 using NTT. We derive also a
light-curve for Prospero which suggests an amplitude of about 0.2 mag and a
periodicity of about 4 hours. However, the sparseness of our data, prevents a
more precise characterization of the light-curves, and we can not determine
wether they are one-peaked or two-peaked. Hence, these periods and amplitudes
have to be considered preliminary estimates. As for Setebos, Stephano and
Trinculo the present data do not allow to derive any unambiguous periodicity,
despite Setebos displays a significant variability with amplitude about as
large as that of Prospero. Colours for Prospero, Setebos, Stephano and Trinculo
are in marginal agreement with the literature.Comment: Submitted to A&A 13 Dec 2006, Accepted 17 Apr 2007. 18 pages, 8
