In the lesson today we were practicing our performances because we were showing them today i think we needed a bit of help on ideas but in the end our performance looked really good and so did everybody else put loads of ideas into it.
My theory was that i did not know if we were going to be ready to show our performance and everybody else would show theirs but we got there so i was really happy because i think it went really well and that everyone in my group did well to get some ideas.
Our exercise was that we had 10 minutes to finish our performances so that we could show them to the class we had a bit of trouble but it would not be the same without it so i was really happy that we got done in time so then we could show it.
My personal response is that i really enjoyed the lesson i would really like to do it again and maybe work a bit more on it but for now i think all of them were great performances and all the people who were in each group but a load of effort in and it looked really good.
My conclusion is that i really loved the lesson hoped everyone liked the each other's performance and i cant wait till Monday to see what we are doing i think we are doing some port folio work but i still like doing that so i really can not wait.

In the lesson today we only had a few minutes to come up with ideas for a performance about the Hillsborough disaster and we had to do it on a different type of staging so sir put us in groups and gave us a stage to work on we then came up with ideas for the performance.
My theory is that i think we were struggling with ideas so miss put our stage on the board and we drew where we were going to stand we then had to leave to watch a road safety performance so i am going to tell you what we have learnt so far.
We learnt about ...
Also the road safety performance was very good there was one man who was actually sending the message out about being careful near a road but then there was another man who was making funny so i really enjoyed and hoped it made the children from the other schools laugh.

in the lesson we were learning about all different types of staging and also about the Hillsborough disaster and we did a couple of exercises were we would have to go were ever miss told us for example stage left or stage right and lots more.
My theory is that i did not know were some of them was but some of them were pretty easy and and by the end i really understood what they were so i was looking forward to what would happen next because i really understood the topic.
Our exercise was that we had to listen for miss shouting things like stage right and stage left and then we would have to go to that place in of the stage but we were marking it on the classroom floor and we all got a couple wrong but i found it fun.
My personal response is that I found the lesson challenging and fun at the same time because i have really learned something from that part of the lesson and found it fun as well so i did really enjoy it and would like to maybe do it again but with another topic.
My conclusion is that i really enjoyed the whole lesson because i learnt all the different types of staging for example in the round and i learnt what the spaces were called on the stage for example stage left and stage right so i really learnt alot.

in the lesson today we had a couple of minutes to rehearse out performance and then the whole class would have to show their performance i was a bit nervous and hoping everyone would remember the things that we had rehearsed.
My theory is that i really did not know how this performance would because even though we had good ideas in my mind i think we were still struggling a bit but actually it went really but there was a bit of a problem with the counting so some bits did go wrong.
Our Exercise was that we had to show our performances to the class and then we would watch theirs so today was really fun but the past few days have been hard i would say that we just needed a bit more time but it looks alright so it was really fun.
My personal response is that really liked the lesson found it hard in some places but its drama and you have to learn alot can not wait for Monday because i want to find out what we are doing so i just really hope that we can do this again some other time.
My conclusion is that found it hard but it got easier as we did it so like i said above really liked the lesson and i would really like to do it again but maybe with another group so that i would maybe do something a bit different than horror.

In the lesson today we were set a task to work in a group and we had to come up with a performance but we had to pick a mask and then we had to show that emotion also we had to come with ideas my group came up with a haunted house we picked masks that were scared, angry, scary and dumb and i found this really fun.
My theory is that at first i did not know what to do but then my group came up with this really good idea i we had to then think of what masks, what music and how we should do it miss helped us do somethings like always look at the audience and sir stuck a post it note on the wall and that really helped.
Our exercise was that we had to come up with ideas for a trestle mask performance and basically we came with a haunted house so we had to pick all the mask that would be appropriate for that performance then we had to pick music which was hard because there was alot to pick from.
My personal response is that i found this lesson easy and hard at the same time easy because really loved the idea that we came up with hard because we had to think of everything that went with hard and we had to keep looking forward.
My conclusion really hope that Friday's lesson goes well and we all remember what we had done hope that everybody enjoys it and i hope that we can all remember to face the front otherwise we will break the illusion and then people wont believe it.

In the lesson today we were learning about trestle masks and we had to learn everything about so miss stood up and gave a big presentation on them and gave us a few tasks to do the end task was that we all had to get a mask and they all had different emotions and we had to show them emotions with our body.
My theory is that at first i did not know what to do and i think my confidence was not very high but then after a while my confidence grew and i understood it alot so i will be happy when Wednesday and Friday because then i will know what to do.
Our Exercise was that miss showed us a presentation about trestle masks and then she would give us some tasks and we would have to do them when we got the mask on we had to do whatever the emotion was but we had to show it in our body not our face because we had a mask on and it would have broke the illusion.
My personal response is that i really enjoyed the lesson and the masks were amazing but hard at the same time because we had to look forward all the time otherwise it would break the illusion and people would not believe our performance.
My conclusion is that i would really like to do something like this again but it is really hard to see throught the eye holes and keep your face looking forward so if we were doing again i would have to work on keeping my head forward and trying to see through the eye holes.

In the lesson today again we were working on our picture stories but today we started to make a little performance but very different we had to narrate for e.g. Amber is going to the shop but amber herself would say it.
My theory is that i really did not know how were going to make our short story into a play because we did need alot of help at first but by the end sir had given us ways of how to perform it so then we came with some really good ideas.
Our exercise was that we had to make a performance out of the short story we had made on Monday add in the freeze frames from Wednesday and then turn it into a performance and then show it to the group and then the other groups would then show their's.
My personal response is that i really liked making the performance because i think we all came up with some good ideas for what our performance was going to look like and we also had to think of all the emotions that everyone of the people in the short were feeling at different times in the story.
My conclusion is i would really love to do something like this again because i found it very creative because we had to think up our own short story's then freeze frames and then put that all together and make a performance so i would really like to do this again.

In the lesson today we worked on the same thing as Monday but today we worked on doing freeze frames of our story's so we had to read each of our chapters and work on a freeze so maybe do someone in a car and a farther and daughter.
My theory is that i really did not know how this was going to work but when we had a lot help we then i then realised what i was meant to be doing so we then started the first freeze frame then the second and then the third i think we did really well with the freeze frames.
Our exercise was that after Monday lesson we had to come up with one freeze frame for each chapter of our short story we based the freeze frames on the most important bit in each chapter but then today we got another person in our group so it was easy to do the freeze frames because we had more people.
My personal response is that i really enjoyed the lesson and making up frezze frames was fun because we all had to think of what the most important part in all of them and i really enjoyed working with Emily and Philippa i think we work well together.
My conclusion just the same as the personal response is that i really hope we can do this again and i really cant wait for Friday because i want to find out what we are doing so really cant wait to find out what we are doing next.

in the lesson today we had to look at some photos and we had to look at that photo and come up with descriptive words that would show what that person was like then we would have to come up with a short story it had to have three chapters of what we thought had happend.
My theory is that at first i really did not understand but to say that i did not understand i think me and Emily really thought what the picture was about and me and her together made a really good story about what we thought had happend to this man on the picture that we had picked.
Our exercise was to pick a photo then come up with words that we thought described the picture then come up with three chapters what we thought might of made him like that me and Emily came up with that him and his wife had an argument and the wife kidnapped the daughter.
My personal response is that i really liked coming up with a story because i think me and Emily really want the emotion to come out and also i want everyone to feel sorry for the man and really get interested in the performance that we may be doing and that they keep interested the whole way through.
My conclusion is that i really enjoyed this lesson whilst some bits were a bit hard to understand other were quite easy so after a while me and Emily really understood what we were doing and came up with a really good short story about how this man was feeling and how it got this way.
