self reflection

my group researched about the string family. i responsible for researching about the double bass instrument. Salma was responsible for doing the harp, Sireen did the double bass ( we both did it because there was a bit of a confusion but we merged them together. Anishka did the cello and Preesha did the Viola.
we all worked together and all collaborated well with each other. we followed what we were suppose to do . The leader of our group was Salma, she has done a great job at being a leader!

Peer evaluation

Ricardo, Amone, Sam, Hynho, and Mohammed Khaled are presenting a PowerPoint about woodwen.  They all did a PowerPoint mohammed did it about the clarinet. He told us how to play it and about it ( background information) Amone did it about the bassoon, he told us who made it but it didn't give lots of information such as how you should hold it and how is it used. Henho did the oboe, there was not a lot of information. Ricardo did the ocarina, he had information even though he did not give a power point but he used his prior knowledgeable, he told us by who it was made. Sam did the flute he told us how to use it and what are they made out of. They all could have been more confident. for the final grade i would give them a 5.
Akhansh's,  team did their project about the procaution family was an amazing project because they had confidence in themselves and lots of information. they knew exactly what they were talking about and shared it all with the class
The level that I would give them is a 7 which is excellent
 Rania, Monica, Kiyara and harang did their power point. it was very detailed and they have used confidence in themselves, they had lots of eye contact. their video was als good because it was  not too fast, which meant that they were able to read it all but still summerize it. the total grade that i would give them is 7-8 excellent

Art reflection

i have learnt how to make a mask using many different layers to make a nose or a mouth. i have learnt many different things during my rotation from drama to art and now music i have also learnt how to work in a group collaboratively. i leant how many different masks come from many different places and they all have a story behind it. new words that i have learnt is montages and texture. yes i have l learnt different many different ways of thinking critically. in drama we learnt how to use emotions in acting and in art how to make a mask in a different ways than I usually did. yes because when i was doing masks in different cultures. 2 i have developed my communicating skills in art and creativity in my work. i have used techniques to perform power points like talking with emotions and loudly so everyone can hear me. i did these pieces of art because I enjoyed doing them. the purpose of the masks was because we wanted to see different stories behind masks and what do they mean. I demonstrated it by using different ways to capture the eye of the audience and make them see what i see. the reason i did this is because its fun to do. the purpose of this work is to discover many things and learn many things. the unit was about our identity. this unit does relate to me because we have to learn about our selves and what made us this way, that includes my culture. we have did movement in drama. social: i have worked effectively with others in group works. in my group we had to make masks but i was absent on that day so i did it by myself but i still have communicated with my class when i presented it self management: my copy book was organised and all my work that i did in class. and i can work independently with work that i get assigned. research: i have researched a lot about masks because we had to make w power point about it. i also did research in henri mattise's work of art to make another power point about his amazing work of art .
