Red Flag Journal 5-22-14

How much time did you spend on your project?
This week I definitely spent more time doing hands-on work with my project then usual. I spent at least 8 hours on my project this week. This involved figuring out costumes, hair, length of dance, choreographing, driving etc.

What did you do that was hands-on?
This week, like I said above, I spent a lot of time on my dance and figuring out key elements to make it come alive. While Bella and I were working on our dance, we had a surprise visit from her mother. Usually, Bella's parents pick her up at 4:30 after our rehearsal and wait in the car, but her mother came up and watched.

What research did you do?
Honestly, I got lost in my project this week. I had so much fun teaching Bella and hearing what she had to say, that it really made me think in my head that this is exactly what I want to do with the rest of my life. Research was slim to do gazing in my thoughts of the future in hopes to be the best dance teacher possible.

Did you meet with your mentor? What did you talk about?
I'm a little nervous to ask Mrs. Pearl to help me out as a mentor. The reason being it is the end of the school year and I just feel silly so late in the game coming up to her just to ask for some help while I know shes probably stressed out to the max when it comes to figuring out grades and other end of the year stresses.

Do you have at least 3 journal entries? Do your journal entries include planning, recording activities, and reflecting?
This week I did not have the minimum journals. However, my reflection on Bella was adequate because she really made me stop and think last night. She really gave my confidence and reassurance that dance is truly my passion.

Where were you in class on this week? Did you have and use your journal?
I was in H-courtyard during class this week. Bella and I decided that to use our maximum productivity, we should use our free periods to finish the dance as well. Even if we just have a hallway, dancers have learned to adapt to tiny spaces. We both have 5th and 6th free which I figured out the other day which is awesome.

Do you think your fulfillment of WISE requirements was : Inadequate? Adequate? Good? Excellent? Explain.
This week I thought my requirements were good, but could of been better due to lack of blogging and research.  

What are your plans for next week?
I will have the music cut by the next rehearsal, as well as have the costumes ready!
