Blog 24: Last Presentation Reflection

1) Positive Statement

What are you most proud of in your block presentation and/or your senior project? Why? 


I think my hook and activity. My hook really engaged the audience and my activity worked out really well, which was surprising actually. 
(2) Questions to Consider

a.     What assessment would you give yourself on your block presentation?  Use the component contract to defend that assessment.

AE       P          AP       CR       NC

b.     What assessment would you give yourself on your overall senior project? Use the component contract to defend that assessment.

AE       P          AP       CR       NC

(3) What worked for you in your senior project?


I really enjoyed my content because I think it was well thought out and pretty organized for my presentation. But if it weren't for my mentors and interviews, my content wouldn't have been as up to quality as I had.
(4) (What didn't work) If you had a time machine, what would you have done differently to improve your senior project?

Nothing. I think everything worked out well, and I'm being very honest when I say nothing. 
(5) Finding Value

How has the senior project been helpful to you in your future endeavors?   Be specific and use examples


I enjoyed my mentorship and interviews the most. I respected the fact that the teachers really encouraged us to go out and find our own mentors and interviews because I know in the real world that I would have to do this.

Blog 18: Answer 2

1.  What is your EQ?
How can a production produce a show that successfully enhances the audience's reaction?
2.  What is your first answer? (In complete thesis statement format)
One way a production can produce a show that successfully enhances the audience's reaction by going through a process called "perfect casting", where the casting crew does everything they can to ensure they carefully pick the best actor/actress to fit every role. This takes place during auditions and callbacks.
3.  What is your second answer? (In complete thesis statement format)
Another way a production can produce a show that successfully enhances the audience's reaction to it is by using stage lighting. This includes the amount of lighting, where it goes, and the colors.
4.  List three reasons your answer is true with a real-world application for each.
Lighting makes a huge difference in a performance. If you want it to be more dramatic and darker, you'd use cooler colors as well as not a lot of lighting around. If it is a more cheery scene, you'd use more light as well as warmer colors. During intense performances, for example, Adele's grammy performance of "All I Ask" used amazing lighting use. Very simple, but the attention was really on her and got the audience to get more emotional and mesmerized in her performance.




5.  What printed source best supports your answer?
6.  What other source supports your answer?
7.  Tie this together with a  concluding thought.

Lesson 2 Reflection

1.What are you most proud of in your Lesson 2 Presentation and why?
My answer would be the thing I am most proud of because it did take a lot of time and observing everyone so much for me to actual develop and realize how crucial my answer was. I was also very proud of the people I went to for help in developing my answer to my EQ.

2. a.     What assessment would you give yourself on your Lesson 2 Presentation (self-assessment)?

       AE       P          AP       CR       NC

     b.     Explain why you deserve that grade using evidence from the Lesson 2 component contract.
          I basically did well in every area, especially engaging. Everything that I presented on connected back with what I stated my answer for my EQ was. 


3. What worked for you in your Lesson 2?
Tying my hook activity with my activity and then afterwards explaining why my answer was so important when it came to casting "the witch".

4. What didn't work? If you had a time machine, what would you have done differently to improve your Lesson 2?
I talked WAY too fast and I feel so terrible for doing so because I could have done a way better job with details. My pacing wasn't the greatest but it worked in the end.

5. What do you think your answer #2 is going to be?

I have no clue. It will probably be communication between the director and actors.

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.
