Reflection • Strength • People understood my group’s still images. • We had good positions for the machine race. • When playing Blob, I laughed less then normal. • Improve • Make our still images more enjoyable for our audience. • Make simpler positions for the machine race so that we could win. • Communicator • In drama class, I was a communicator by telling a story using only body positions (still images). This shows that I was a communicator because I communicated to my class by telling a silent story.

  31. Reflection • Strengths • I wrote a few lines for our chant, but they weren’t very effective. • Something else that I did well today was not getting into trouble. This shows that I wasn’t mean/rude to my friends. • Weaknesses • One of my weaknesses today was not always doing my work. During class time, I wasn’t paying full attention to finish writing our chant. In between today and Tuesday, I will write my version of our chant and show it to my teammates tomorrow to see if they’ll like it. • How Our Group Worked • My group didn’t work very well today. This was because we didn’t concentrate on making our chant. As a result, we didn’t get very far. Maybe, we will work get more done on Tuesday.

  32. ✦Tuesday, March 20, 2012 ✦ We have changed our final topic for our ritual project from harvest-dithyramb to Christmas

  33. Ritual Project: Picture My group members: Chelsea (on the left), Me (in the middle), Zimei (on the right), and Arun (absent)

  34. Ritual Project: Video We are practicing our movements for our chant.

  35. Reflection • Strengths • Something that I did really well today was making up lines for my groups chant. I think that what I came out with was really quite good.  • Another part that I did nicely was making up movements to go with our chant. What I came out with isn’t excellent, but it isn’t horrible either. • Weaknesses • Today, we didn’t have many weaknesses, but time management might be a bit of a problem. If we were quicker with our work, then, we could have practiced all of our movements. • What my group did well today • Since we were behind from the last class, today, we did really well in catching up. 

  40. Reflection: Mask Making Today, we started making our masks for our project. In my group, Arun went first. Zimei was the person who made Arun’s mask. Next, I made Zimei’s mask. The materials used to make the mask are plasta, water, and scissors. Plasta is what the mask is mainly made out of. Water is needed to dip the plasta in. This is done to make a more liquidly, sticky form of plasta when positioned on the person’s face. The scissors are used to cut the plasta into stripes. When making a mask, you need to start with the basics. Before you start, it’s suggested that the person who is having their mask done is laying down and has their eyes closed. First, you need to place a couple stripes of plasta on your person’s forehead. Next, you place one strip on plasta on either side of the person’s face. You must set it on the space between their eyes and their hairline. Then, cut a shorter stripe of plasta and put it on top of their nose. Starting from the level of their eyebrow to a few centimeters away from their nose tip. Finally, lay a strip of plasta from the side of their nose to a point where it meets with the other strip of plasta (that was set on the sides of their faces). Those were the basics. Now, you start covering the rest of their skin (not the whole face, just from their nose level to their hairline), and around the eyes. Afterwards, you need to do a second layer over the first to make the mask secure. Two layers is the minimum, but the more the better. At last, the person having their mask made should stay laying down for 15-20 minutes to let the plasta dry. When it is, the dried plasta, which is now the mask, can be removed slowly from the person’s face. Since it’s dried, the mask should have the shape of the person’s face.
