Blog 11: Lesson 1 Reflection

1. What are you most proud of in your lesson, and why?
I think I was very passionate when speaking about musical theater which kept the audience engaged enough. Also, I think that I had pretty good points of what a director is and what they do. I had a variety of answers/points which will help me in the future.

2. What assessment would you give yourself on your lesson? Explain why you earned that grade using evidence from the component contract.
I would give myself a solid P, because I think I did a good job at keeping my cool when I was running out of things to say (I went shockingly faster than what I thought I was going to do) but because every time I rehearsed my presentation, I went over 10 minutes. My friend suggested to do only 3 songs instead of 5 for my hook and get rid of unnecessary details and I think I over did it. My hook was too short and rushed. But other than that, I knew exactly what I was saying. I was good with volume, eye contact, time, organization, and etc.

3. If you could go back, what would you change about your lesson?  How can you use that knowledge to give a better Lesson 2?
I guess it would be to work more on my hook, my pace, and remembering the names of the articles that really helped me, since there were multiple.
