Reflections

Your Google Slideshow will be used as an Artistic Portfolio

Purpose of the Drama Portfolio:

-  To showcase your summative work. 

- A place to reflect on your achievements and goals.

- A safe place to practice your skills of critiquing without hurting the feelings of your peers.

- A place that invites discussion and seeks out the opinions of others. 

Context: Context should accompany EVERY video you post. Context explains to your audience "What the heck is this video about." It also shows the teacher you understand the purpose behind the assignment. 

Example of context: In this video, we were asked to create a scene about monsters where the audience could understand our setting and relationship even though we did not use words. The goal was to show our understanding of mask skills through the assignment. 

Notice: This explains what the audience will see and WHY we did the assignment!

Reflection: When you are asked to create a reflection the teacher will generally provide some questions to help you think. I would rather you DID NOT just give me a question-and-answer format. I want to see you build those answers into a paragraph where you are thinking deeply about the subject. Reflections should be a place where I can see you analyze where you are as a performer and where you want to go next. 

Reflection #1    Title: Why I am a (your confidence number)    

Due Date:                            

Drama Standards:                 

• Responding (Power Standard)

• Responsibility (Learning Behavior) 

Step 1: Add a slide to your portfolio. Title the entry "Why I am a ... (this is your confidence number from the first week of drama)."

Step 2: Copy the following sentence and paste it at the top of your reflection. [Hint: command C (to copy) command V (to paste)]

TEN is a person who is dying to hit the stage on day one of drama and would willingly perform a solo at the next assembly!  ONE is a person who would rather be ANYWHERE but the stage and would prefer to be wrapped up in a blanket back in their bed hugging their teddy bear. On this scale of one to ten, I would be a ... because...

Step 3: Add your number and explain why you think that number was appropriate for you on day 1 of drama. 

Step 4: This is your chance to tell me a bit about you and your experience and/or relationship with the stage. 

• Why do you think you are confident or not confident performing on stage? 

• Do you have any experience with the stage already? This could include performing as a dancer or musician. 

• What are you hoping to get out of drama class this trimester? 

• What do you want me to know about you as a performer and how can I best encourage you to take a dramatic risk? 

Step 5: In the stream, I shared a google photo album where you will find the photo of you posing with your laptop and number. 

• Click on your photo to open it full size. 

• Drag it to your desktop. 

• Drag it onto your portfolio slide. 

• You can even frame it to make it look nicer. 

Step 5: When you are finished, make sure your slide looks nice. Make sure the font is easy to read. Check your spelling. Remember your portfolio is an extension of you! (Bonus: Feel free to add photos/videos of your doing drama previously. In drama you are welcome to show off!)

Step 6: DO NOT LINK THE PORTFOLIO TO GOOGLE CLASSROOM!!! If you do, you will lose access. Instead, just click done on Google classroom. 

I also did this assignment. Read my answers to learn more about me!
