5. 8/31/2012 • I liked the exercise we did with Mr. Gabbard. It was really fun. I hope we do lots of games in this class.

6. 8/31/2012 Pre-assessment Journal #1 “Based on the exercise describe the process you used to“feel” the emotions.” This was the first acting exercise I have ever done where I was asked to “feel” emotions. At first I had trouble “feeling” the emotions. Then I realized that if I could think of things that happened to me in real life I could really feel those emotions Mr. Gabbard was asking for. I noticed that when I had a memory of feeling angry it was more natural for me to feel angry in the exercise. I wondered if this is what really good actors do when they cry on stage or in a movie.

7. Pre-assessment Journal #1 “Based on the exercise describe the process you used to “feel” the emotions.” I like actin and I am so freaking out to be in dis class. This exercise was crazy hard lol.

8. -This child didn’t do their journal because they felt lazy or didn’t bring their pencil, or didn’t sign up for this class, or doesn’t want to work in drama class, or thinks their grade doesn’t matter, or doesn’t like writing, or doesn’t even want to try.
