How much time did you spend on your project?
This weeks i spent five hours on my project. I have been meeting with different people throughout the school to use some sort of space where I can choreograph the dance and meet with dancers.
What did you do that was hands-on?
This week, I showed a couple of the dancers my plan for the dance and how I want to do it. I also let some dancers here the music by emailing them the song so that they could get a feel of what they are going to be dancing to.
What research did you do?
I looked on youtube to see if I could find some dance moves that I want to incorporate into my routine. I also looked up a couple stretches that would help the girls be more flexible and prepare when it comes to learning the dance. At the high school, we also have a dance class during 7th period. I went and checked it out and they were doing modern. It seemed really interesting and I know I have someone in the school close by to talk to about dance if I have any troubles which is really nice!
Did you meet with your mentor? What did you talk about?
I met with my mentor quick this week. We went over the basic jobs and tasks of being a mentor since Cheryl is new to this program at IHS. I gave her a folder and we talked about all the things she needs to carry out being my mentor.
Do you have at least three journal entries? Do your journals include planning, recording activities, and reflecting?
I do have at least three journal entries that include panning, recording activities, and reflecting. I discuss mostly the problems and issues I have been having with Ithaca High School, and being able to use the dance studio here for practice. Whats the point of having the studio here if no one is allowed to use it?
Were you in class on this week? Did you have and use your journal?
I was in class this week. We used our journal to do an entry about the WISE project from a couple years ago called Barn Song. Other than that, I have not used my journal because I am blogging.
Do you think your fulfillment of WISE requirements was: Inadequate? Adequate? Good? Excellent? Explain.
This week, I think that I could have done a little more hands-on work with my dance. It has been really difficult to find a spot to work. I have filled out a couple different forms that have to be approved by the school. I am also in the process of finding a supervisor to keep an eye out for us as we practice. I have been considering asking the dance teacher here at the school. I haven't had time to really discuss things with her because I didn't want to interrupt her class.
What are your plans for next week?
Next week I will start the dance and have a space ready! I'm checking every day about my form I submitted so I'm crossing my fingers!
