This will help us think of a chant to say during the performance.

This will help us wear the correct type of clothes when doing the
performance

us act like we are undead

9. REFLECTI ON
NOVEMBER 22 2011
Group Strengths:
Our strengths as a group were that we all shared our ideas of the movements
and all worked together to choose which was the best. We also need a good
job on memorizing our chant. Another thing we did well was fixing our
chant.
My Strengths:
My strengths were that I made a good chant and was able to memorize it.
Another thing I did well was making good actions for our zombie ritual.

10. Weakness
Group Weaknesses:
Our group weaknesses are that we didn’t use or time very
well, we were noisy and we also didn’t focus on our work.
Another weakness was that we didn’t use our time wisely.
My weaknesses:
My weaknesses was that i didn’t work well with the rest of
my classmates. Another weakness was that I wasn’t a good
leader.

11. COMMUNICATOR
I was a communicator because I talked with my group to make
the moves and chant. We all were communicators because we
all contributed and nobody was left out of the conversation.

MASK
Today we made masks. We got into groups of 3 and made masks for each
other. In my group there was Karl, Jae Hyu and Myself. Yesterday, we
made the design for the mask so today we copied the design and made the
mask .We first took 15 stripes of plaster, dipped it in water and put it on
each others faces. The first person we made the mask for was Karl. The
mask turned out great. The next person to get the mask was me it didn't’t
turn out so well so Ms. Rankin fixed it for me. Then we did Jae Hyu’s
mask which came out well but then when he tried to remove the mask
some of the plaster got ruined and it didn’t look so good after that. Today
was very fun and I hope other days will be just as fun.

13. REFLECTI ON DECEMBER 1 S T
2011 PAI NTI NG OUR MASKS
Today we designed our masks. Our group used paint but others used
different material, some used cotton, markers and glue. It was not very
hard to do the painting because our group had already planned what it
should look like. Before deigning the mask I had to cut out some parts
of the mask to make it look better. I was happier with the mask after
cutting it because before I cut it it look horrible. I think that after I
finished painting the mask did look like the design we made on the
computer.

14. REFLECTION DECEMBER
6TH 2011
Today our group completed our masks by attaching it to a piece of
string so we can put it around our heads. On the right you can see how
my mask turned out. We also picked costumes for our zombie. After
picking the costume we practiced our play about zombies which was the
best rehearsal we have had so far, everybody memorized their lines and
everybody did their movements
correctly. I think tomorrow we will do
well on the play. Ms. Rankin said that
we did well except that should speak
more clearly and have a better exit.

15. Reflection December 8th 2011
Today our class finally performed our ritual after practicing for
two months. In that two months there were some good things that
happened and some bad things to. Some good things I did to help
my group was that I shared my ideas about movements and
costumes, I also contributed a lot to make the chant, I finished my
work on time, I wrote all my reflections about what happened that
day and I helped design the mask. Some things that I could have
improved on are using my time better, I could have been more
serious during rehearsal time and I could have been quieter.
If I could change something, I would change the zombie
theme to a happy birthday theme because I think that is what the
children in kindergarten would have enjoyed that more than
zombies trying to eat their flesh and brains.

16. I would improve on memorizing the exit because I kept
getting confused with what to do, because we decided to change it at
the last minute. Another thing I could improve on was chanting the
chant together because everybody started at different times.
When making the performance, Ms. Rankin’s feedback really
helped me, when we did the first rehearsal she told us that we needed
to we need to make a sound when entering and exiting, we need to
make our moves more clearer and we need to have our backs to each
other in a circle, now that we did all those things our performance
looked much nicer. When we did the performance for the
kindergarteners it went really well. I all stood in a circle, I had a clear
voice, I did all the movements correctly and entered properly. When
doing the movements I was a little bit scared to performed it infront
of children so I couldn’t concentrate on the movements very well.
Also, we couldn’t do the movements well because of the cape.

17. If I could change what I did in the performance I would have
not worn the cape because it made us look like vampires and it was hard
to do the movements in it. I could have improved on exiting, when
doing the performance we forgot to leave at the last line of the chant.
Ms. Rankin’s feedback helped us to speak louder and speak more clearly.
