How much time did you spend on your project?
This week I probably have spent a good 6-7 hours on my project.
What did you do that was hands-on?
This week I got 3 of the 5 girls together and we all drove up to the YMCA. It ended up working perfectly in my favor in that i got to use the dance studio for space in order to practice my routine. We went to the Y around 4 and stayed all the way til 6:30. I choreographed the first half of the dance in that short amount of time. The girls loved it, and they can't wait to learn more!
What research did you do?
This week so far I haven't done anymore research than changing the song. this required looking on Youtube and choosing a song of my liking. Other than that, no other research because I feel that I have most of what I need.
Did you meet with your mentor? What did you talk about?
I meet with my mentor tomorrow, no discussion yet this week.
Do you have at least three journal entries? Do your journal entries include planning, recording activities, and reflecting?
I did my journal entries last week for this week. I did a total of six journal entries over break so they would carry on to the next week. They include learning many things from Towson University. Not the best school for dance, but still the college experience that I will be applying to myself in the fall. It was so interesting learning some new things, such as evaluating a dance piece using certain types of words like " I was intrigued by the way...." The comp 1 teacher taught us that the word like is not always the most proper one to use. She tried to get us to get out of our comfort zone which is kinda what WISE is all about!
Where were you in class this week? Did you use your journal?
This week honestly I didn't use class time to work on my project. I mainly used outside of school time like yesterday after school!
Do you think your fulfillment of WISE requirements was: Inadequate? Adequate? Good? Excellent? Explain.
This week I thought that my production of my project was great. I think I'm finally starting to have fun with this. Yesterday was so much fun trying to figure out different movements to put in the piece and what looks best on the girls. It makes it easier too that 4 out of the 5 come from the same studio so they look more like a team! The 5th girl catches on very fast so she has no problem either. Overall, I would say this week my fulfillment of my WISE requirements was excellent because I finally started having fun.
What are your plans for next week?
Next week, I plan on meeting the girls after school Wednesday again at 4. All the girls can attend this time so lets get this dance choreographed.
