What I like to do...

I enjoy reading fiction. I like fiction written in a way that could be true. Stories that are not true, but have a sense of reality really get me hooked. I play the flute, and even though I do not enjoy practicing, I want to continue playing the flute. I also enjoy art, though I never feel like I have good ideas. I’ve been drawing and painting since I was a kid. I really like decorating, organizing and re-modeling rooms and houses. It’s a lot fun to change something and make it better. I enjoy sports in general. I like to swim, play soccer, play volleyball and badminton isn’t so bad. I don’t like basketball. Running around and playing games is fun. In school I enjoy English, Art, P.E. and Chinese. Even though Chinese is difficult I enjoy learning languages. I like being able to speak different languages. I do not enjoy math, but science is okay. I have also learned that taking part in the school play can be a fun and entertaining experience. Traveling can be stressful, but once I get to a new place it's a lot of fun learning about it.

In the past four years I have enjoyed...

1. Soccer
2. Swimming
3. Flute
4. Art
5. Reading
6. Volleyball
7. School - Mostly English, Art,
8. Traveling
9. Interior Designing
10. Languages

Most of the activities I listed above are connected to art or sports. I enjoy just zoning out and drawing something or playing something. It's very calming to me. I can think about things or I can completely focus on the picture I was drawing or the song I was playing. I enjoy sports activities because it's fun! If I'm not good at a sport, like basketball, it's not fun. I like team sports because you're with a whole bunch of people, running around and having fun. Swimming is just awesome... I can't explain why I like it.
The activities don't challenge me, I think that's what I like about them. There just things that keep me entertained. If they do get challenging I don't enjoy them as much. Except with sports. In tournaments I like having a team with me. It's more fun that way.
I think that some of the things I like to do, I could be better at doing. I have the ability to do things, but I think I should put more effort and commitment into the activities I do. I need to discipline myself to try my hardest when I do the activities. Persistence. I need to be persistent to develop in my activities.

Evalutaion: Shiny Shakespeare Show

This project was a major fail. It took everyone a long time to get on track and organized. We spent forever waiting for our scripts to be returned. Even once we had everything we weren’t ready to start filming. It was just a whole lot of confusion and nothing got done. At first, the class seemed excited and really into it, but it just went downhill from that. We spent a lot of time just sitting around, wasting time basically. English B students didn’t have anything to do, and English A students were not getting much done either. This project was not successful. We didn’t film, edit and it was completely unorganized. We didn’t even finish the project. I’m only writing an Evaluation because something needs to be done to wrap up this project.
I was supposed to be following the design cycle for this unit, but like the project in general, it didn’t really work out. I did the Investigation. I researched quite a bit about filming, editing, props and stuff like that. I had all my sources too. The scripts were being graded so the whole class waited for them to be returned. This was a waste of time. Mrs. Wilson and Mr. Thompson both had different ideas of how this unit would work out, so the class was just confused.
Criteria B, Design, seems to have been lost. I didn’t do anything for Criteria B because I needed my script. So I waited, and then went to ACAMIS. I think for Criteria B, the class did it together. Most people voted on the scripts. The script with the most votes was Tsolmon’s, so we were going to film hers. There was a lot of mind changing and no one seemed to be making any real decisions that could keep us going.
Usually I always have to do Criteria C, Plan, but this time I didn’t. I do not know if the class did while I was in ACAMIS, but I don’t think so. This may have been why this project ended up so bad. There was no planning put into it. One good thing about this project is that it has shown me that planning is important.
Criteria D is Create. We spent one class trying to get something done. We filmed, but no one knew their lines and it was just pointless. That class was probably where everyone got sick of this unit. We looked at the videos that Haram had filmed and they were no good. So we didn’t create anything. I don’t think we gave up. We recognized a lost cause when we saw it. We did try to make it work, but probably not hard enough. There was just a whole lot of confusion and ideas were changing and we couldn’t stick with anything. So now I am evaluating this project….
Improvements for this unit could take a long time. First I think that every single person taking part should have all been on the same track and known what we were getting in to. Second, we needed our script from the beginning! I really think that would have helped. Then it would have been easier to get started and get into the flow of this project. We should have been more serious about it. I think if we had had costumes and real settings and props we would have been more enthusiastic about it. I didn’t really enjoy what we did in this project, though I think it could have been good. Mrs. Wilson did say though that it hasn’t been successful with any grade, so maybe this unit is ju

April 26th...

So far the class has chosen a final script that will be turned into a video. Tsolmon's script had the most votes. The script includes Hero, Beatrice, Claudio, Benedick, Don Pedro, Ursula, Margaret and Borachio.

One group of students is working on editing, costumes, setting and props. The other group is the actors and they are working on memorizing the script and everything else actors do.

It's all messed up at the moment. We are lacking in the enthusiasm in creating the final product. First we were going to combine two scripts, but that would have been a lot of work. So then, the class decided to just take Tsolmon's script, since her's had the most votes. Now we're trying to get everything together.

Next Wednesday we want to start filming. Some of it will be practice. I have been given then role of the host. Either lines have to be memorized or we'll have cards and we can do different parts of the script at different times.

So far...

Much Ado about Nothing: Entertainment Special

The host enters. Audience applauds and cheers.

Host: How ya’ll doing tonight?! Audience screams replies such as ‘Great!’ or simply continues cheering. Good, good, because we’ve got a great show coming this evening! All of you are about to discover the actual facts about the latest Hollywood couple, Benetrice! Crowd goes wild cheering and clapping. Let us welcome the five Cupids! Hero, Ursula, Claudio, Leonato and Don Pedro!

Hero, Ursula, Claudio, Leonato and Don Pedro run or walk in smiling as their name is called. They all take a seat.

Host: Hi, how are you? Smiling, real casually.

Don Pedro: Great. Thanks so much for inviting us!

Leonato: I can not wait to get started.

Host: Great. Let me tell you, everyone is so excited to have you here. Speaking towards the audience. Am I right? Audience says ‘Yes!’.

Claudio: Laughing and smiling. We’re really excited to be here too.

Host: Audience quiets down. So you all know about the newest couple, Benedick and Beatrice or ‘Benetrice’ as they’re called these days. There have been rumors that you five have played an important role in getting the two of them together.

Don Pedro: Yea, we all thought they would be good for one another.

Host: Well, so far it seems you did well in matching them up. It’s quite a remarkably feat, I must say, getting Benedick and Beatrice together.

Hero: Yes it was. It was practically impossible to find them not bickering at each other. They’re both very witty.

Host, Ursula, Claudio, Leonato and Don Pedro are all chuckling.

Host: Do you all agree with this? Nodding towards Ursula, Claudio, Leonato and Don Pedro.

Ursula: Yes, it’s true. Even now they still bicker at each other.

Host: So you five hooked Benedick and Beatrice up? How did you get them together?

Don Pedro: Laughing. Now that’s a funny story. We totally set Benedick up. He had been in the garden, when we walked by. He seemed to have spotted us and hid himself, but not before we saw where he was hiding.

Claudio: So then we started speaking VERY loudly of how Beatrice loved Benedick so much, but she could never tell him, for if she did, she would die.

Leonato: Chuckling. We sure baited the hook well, and the fish most definitely did bite.

Everyone is laughing or chuckling. The atmosphere is excited, happy and comfortable.

Host: Lucky for you (indicating the audience), we caught this fishing trip on camera.

Video clip is shown on screen.

* * *

Don Pedro, Claudio, and Leonato are walking in the garden. You can see Benedick hiding behind a tree.

Don Pedro: Come Leonato. Were you the one who told me that BEATRICE was in love with SINGOR BENEDICK? Speaking towards the tree behind which Benedick is hiding.

Claudio: I did not know she would love anyone.

Leonato: Neither did I. Though she pretends to hate him, she loves more than you would think possible.

Don Pedro: It would be good if Benedick new this.

Claudio: What good would that bring? He would only make more fun of her.

Don Pedro: She is a sweet lady. She is virtuous and wise.

Leonato: Except that she loves Benedick.

Claudio: Hero says Beatrice will die if he loves her, if he knows she loves him, or if he asks her out.

Benedick: To himself. What?! That’s not possible!

Leonato: Well should we go tell Benedick of her love?

Claudio: We can never tell him.

Don Pedro: To Claudio and Leonato. If he doesn’t love her now, I don’t know how to get them together. Now we have to tell Hero to do the same to Beatrice.

* * *

Everyone is applauding and laughing.

Host: So that’s how it happened. Now, Hero and Ursula, you had the job of tricking Beatrice. How did that go?

Hero: It was fun. I just got Margaret to run off and tell Beatrice we were talking about her in the garden. Beatrice came right along, of course.

Ursula: It was really quite entertaining.

Host: Well, let’s show our audience the famous video clip of the witty Beatrice falling into an obvious trap.

* * *

Hero and Ursula are walking in the orchard, their arms linked. You can see Beatrice hiding behind a tree or clump of flowers.

Hero: She is too hateful. Signor Benedick calls her ‘Lady Disdain’, even though he LOVES her.

Ursula: But are you sure that Benedick loves Lady Beatrice so completely?

Hero: That’s what my Claudio and Don Pedro said.

Ursula: Will you tell Beatrice of Benedick’s love?

Hero: No. She would make fun of him.

Ursula: The Lady Disdain…she turns every man inside out. Never sees their good sides.

Beatrice: To herself. Indignant. That’s not true.

Hero: Yea, and Signor Benedick is really on of the best men.

Ursula: Benedick must fight against the passion he has for Beatrice. She may never find out that he LOVES her so entirely.

* * *

Everyone is laughing and applauding.

Host: Well now, that was quite amusing. Benedick and Beatrice don’t seem so witty now. Let’s welcome in the two love birds, shall we? Audience applaud .Beatrice and Benedick walk in smiling.

Host: Thanks for joining us this evening. So tell us, how did you two come together

Benedick: I’ve always loved Beatrice.

Hero, Ursula, Claudio, Leonato and Don Pedro are trying to hold back laughter.

Beatrice: It’s true. I love him. He would do anything for me. He almost killed Claudio on my wish.

Benedick and Claudio both nod, remembering when Benedick had threatened to kill Claudio.

Host: Really? So you both just always loved each other? I’ve been told that you bicker a lot. Is this true?

Hero, Ursula, Claudio, Leonato and Don Pedro are keeping suspiciously quiet. They are trying their hardest not to burst out laughing.

Beatrice: Well yes, we do. Adds hurriedly. But every couple goes through some arguments.

Benedick: It’s because we’re both so witty and wise.

Host: Hmm… yes. Well, we have something to show you. Shows parts of the two clips.

* * *

Don Pedro, Claudio, and Leonato are walking in the garden. You can see Benedick hiding behind a tree.

Don Pedro: Come Leonato. Were you the one who told me that BEATRICE was in love with SINGOR BENEDICK?

Claudio: I did not know she would love anyone.

Leonato: Neither did I. Though she pretends to hate him, she loves more than you would think possible.

* * *

Hero and Ursula are walking in the orchard, their arms linked. You can see Beatrice hiding behind a tree or clump of flowers.

Ursula: But are you sure that Benedick LOVES Lady Beatrice so completely?

Hero: That’s what, Claudio and Don Pedro said.

* * *

Everyone is laughing their heads off except Benedick and Beatrice. They are sitting grinning, but in a shocked, embarrassed way.

Benedick: Pause. Oh my god, I never new about this…
Hero, Ursula, Claudio, Leonato and Don Pedro are still giggling.

Don Pedro: Laughing. Teasing in a friendly way. Yea, the ‘witty’ couple fell for our trick.

Host: So tell me, how are you feeling?

Benedick: Grinning sheepishly. Em… Embarrassed, mostly. I mean, it doesn’t change anything between us. Indicating Beatrice.

Beatrice: No. It only changes my feelings towards those five. Chuckling, nods towards Hero, Ursula, Claudio, Leonato and Don Pedro.

Leonato: To the audience. They’ll forgive us by tomorrow.

Host: Not so sure you can believe your friends any more? Chuckling.

Beatrice: Laughing. For some reason, no I don’t think I can completely believe them. Casually. But I do believe that Benedick asked me to marry him.

A surprised silence and then the crowd start whistling, cheering and applauding. Even Hero, Ursula, Claudio, Leonato and Don Pedro are surprised but they clap too.

Host: Stands up and comes to center stage. Let’s end this on a happy note. Thanks for coming! He returns to Hero, Ursula, Claudio, Leonato, Don Pedro, Beatrice and Benedick as camera zooms out.

April 19th...

So far the Modern Shakespeare unit has been a bit difficult to complete. Since we have no received any scripts back, I'm still confused about what I'm supposed to be doing. As a class we have split the type of scripts into groups. We have a gossip group, a news group, an group that's responsible for the breaks and a talk show group. I am in the talk show group with Uudee, Tsolmon and Yea Jun. In our group, we haven't done much. For one of the scripts a table will be needed. It'll be similar to a late night show. That's as far as we've got. I don't want to combine scripts.
I think better quality videos will be produced if the class is split into 3 groups. Each group then has a script that they have to turn into a video. This brings us back to choosing which scripts should be created. Some people may not want their scripts to be used. That's fine. The class should read the scripts and with Mrs. Wilson's and Mr. Thompson's feedback we can decide which scripts we want to turn into videos.

Investigation

Unit question: How can we create a video presentation of a Shakespeare play that will appeal to the modern day viewers?

Learner Profile: Communicators

AOI: Approaches to Learning…because the unit helps students to look at new ways of interpreting old material in order to increase our understanding of it (old material).

OUR TASK: In this unit we will be finding the answer to the unit question above by reading the play Much Ado About Nothing in English class (English A1 students) and/or reading interpretational material about the play then writing scripts and filming and modern news show featuring the major events in the story. ~ Mrs. Wilson

The project we are starting is called “Modern Shakespeare”. This was the title the majority of the class wanted. Some of us, including me, wanted The Shiny Shakespeare Show, but it wasn’t too popular among the guys. In this unit we will be taking the book, Much Ado About Nothing, written by William Shakespeare, and turning it into a modern language talk show. In our English A class, we will be writing scripts, in modern English, for the show E! about the scandals that happened in Much Ado About Nothing. In IT we will then be creating talk shows in our IT class. Shakespeare is actually funny, except that you can’t really understand it. By making a movie, in modern English, it will be easy to understand and funny.

The final project will be a talk show, news show, etc. about a scene from Much Ado About Nothing in modern English. This will be written, acted out, filmed and edited. We will need scripts, video camera, props, costumes, backgrounds, etc. The final project should be a complete talk show based on Much Ado About Nothing in modern English. I think by making the scripts funny, it will appeal to people. Most people like comedy. Shakespeare is comedy, so by acting it out so that people can understand it, it’ll be fun.

This unit will be a good way to learn about filming. I don’t know anything about making movies and editing, so I hope I’ll learn something. By writing the scripts and acting out scenes from Shakespeare in a modern way, it will help the whole class to understand the language of Shakespeare. This is ATL. By re-acting the scandals in modern English, I think we’ll be able to understand Shakespeare better.
The class chose Communicators as our Learner Profile, because a communicator is a student who can express their ideas in different ways and in different languages. By re-writing scripts in modern English and acting them out, we will be showing how we understand Shakespeare and we’ll be expressing our knowledge in a creative, fun way.

Shakespeare is a great writer of his time. Today we read Shakespeare, but it’s much harder to understand. It definitely broadens you vocabulary. Once you understand it, it’s not that bad. It’s a bit of history combined with entertaining stories. I don’t really enjoy Shakespeare. I’ve only read two books. At first I don’t understand it, but once you get used to the language it get’s easier. By the end of the book, it really wasn’t that bad.

Design Specifications
1.The stories must be filmed and all students must play a significant part in the making of the video (script-writing, costumes, backgrounds, filming, editing, etc.)
2.The video must be based on the play, using names and events in the play exactly as they happen.
3.The scripts must be written in modern day English in the format of a news show (interviews, documentaries, news reports, talk shows, etc.)

Interview
What kind of resources do think are necessary for making a good movie?
Camera, microphone, computer, light effects, good setting, good plot, good costumes, actors, good make-up,

What is the most important factor to making a good movie?

Same scene from different angles , the way you show what they’re doing, directing

What kind of costumes would be appropriate for a modern day, Shakespeare based talk show?

Kinda Shakespeare style, but kinda modern, mini

Is good lighting and sound important for a good movie?
Of course it is.

What makes a good movie a good movie?
Suspense, irony, music background, good actors, good plot and setting, a hippo in it.
Humor
I want to create a talk show, including two other video clips. I will need a camera, settings, props, costumes, actors, crew?, backgrounds, mics?, and probably a computer for editing the shots. I think it'll be the easiest and best way to have my classmates tell me what they want to do. It's not point putting someone on stage when they have absolutely no interest in acting, unless you see that they have huge potential and fit the role very well.

Design Specifications
-Setting, props, and costumes need to look good.
-You need to be able to hear the actors speaking. It must be clear.
-Movie needs to be at least five minutes long.
-It should be funny. If it's not, I do not think it will appeal to people and will -not answer the unit question.
-Everyone participating should have fun!

Once the movie has been made, I think it would be fun to show it to different classes and have them fill out a survey of what they thought. That way we can see if the final product was any good and they will hopefully be entertained. The test can be having the 6th, 7th and 8th graders watch the movie and fill out a survey. Maybe this could be done during our IT class and we can invite them to watch or we can do it after school or during break and lunch. The test should also test the design specifications that Mrs. Wilson gave us.

Evaluation

Evaluation

My presentation was based on the Frisbee, invented by Fred Morrison. I researched about the Frisbee and based on that information, I created a PowerPoint. At first I wanted to make a poster, but as I was making it, I realized I had a lot of information which I wanted to include, but it wouldn’t fit on the poster. That’s when I decided to make a PowerPoint. It would be a good way to present my information.

After I had finished my final product, a PowerPoint, I had to test it. I did this by asking a couple of people what they had thought of my presentation. I think my final product was successful, except I did not really answer the unit question in a straight forward way. My PowerPoint was neat, had good information and was easy to read, but it did not answer the unit question. I also looked at my grade for the final product as part of my test. I asked Mrs. Wilson why I received the grade I did, and it was because I didn’t answer the unit question well enough. The fact that the unit question was not answered well makes my product not as successful as it could have been.

Cr.A – Investigation

Investigation for this project was easier than usual. Mrs. Wilson handed out sheets with a lot of significant information on the topics people chose. Those sheets were a good start and helped a lot in the Investigation. I created some of my own questions that I had to answer. Most were about the inventor and invention, but some were things to do with advertisement and things I thought might be interesting. Citing all my sources is not hard work, but it takes a while. I spent quite a bit of time on MLA citations. I think I did a lot of good research, and my citations were fine. The Frisbee isn’t exactly complex so there wasn’t so much I could research. I think I did my Investigation well.

Cr.C – Plan

Plan is usually easy, but this time I had a bit of trouble. I was a bit confused with the due dates and when I made the plan, it was not detailed enough. I asked a few people if my plan was ok, and I was told to put more detail in. I did. Unfortunately, half way through my plan for the poster, I wanted to make a PowerPoint so I had a lot of changes to make. I posted my first Plan on my blog. After I made the changes I also posted the changed plan on my blog. I didn’t really follow my plan this time. At first I was behind with the poster and then I completely changed my final product.

Cr.D – Create

For this project, the final product could be a poster, PowerPoint, essay, or anything that answered the unit question. At first I wanted to make a poster. I could get all colorful and creative while answering the unit question. But after I had started writing on my poster, I realized I had a lot of information and it would not fit on my poster and still be neat. That’s when I decided to switch to a PowerPoint. I could clearly present all my information. Since I had spent a day on the poster, I had to choose something that I could do quickly. The PowerPoint was super easy and fast to make, and it included everything I thought it needed to. I had some pictures. I explained who the inventor was and how he invented the Frisbee. I also included some other facts and information I had found during my research. Overall, I was happy with my PowerPoint.

Improvements

I think I could have done a lot better, overall on this assignment. I think my Investigation was good, but my Plan and final product could/should have been better. I could definitely have improved my Plan by adding more detail. I should have understood exactly when we had class, when it was due, and when I had time to create my final product. I should have explained each step careful, stating exactly what I was going to do to finish my final product. It would have been easier if I hadn’t decided to change my final project.

My final product could have been good except I did not answer the unit question well enough. Reflecting on how some of my classmates did it, I should have had a slide which stated the unit question and then answered it. That’s mainly what I would have done to improve my grade. I think my presentation and most of the slide show wasn’t too bad. I’m annoyed at myself that I didn’t answer the unit question clearly or well enough…
