Callan's Evidence of learning

For performance Immersion on the first day we had to write what we thought described the words; creativity and drama. We watched a video off a Syrian individual who rebeled against the law. The character was a dancer, and in Siria that is illegal. There is even though there was a risk he could've been killed for it. Ahmed Joudeh, (The dancers name) found dancing a way of expressing his emotions. We had to make shapes with our bodys  and play games that involved acting and dancing. By the end of all the immersions I decided this was the project I wanted to enrol for . The idea for the project was to make a show, so all sorts of jobs were up for grabs. Backstage, props, lighting, sound, stage managing and performing.        

On Tuesday the 19th of September Lc7, Lc4 and Lc2 went to Auckland live. We participated in three workshops. In the first one we learnt about theatre and all the different roles. We got to act in a short play and got to choose a role to play in the play. (Pun unintentional)  I acted as a witch.     In the next workshop we watched another presentation although this one was about listening. The act was about someone who had eaten a pack of biscuits that was meant for someones birthday. There was only one left and the person who ate the packet was told to guard the last biscuit. It was really interesting the way they used noises to show what the person was thinking and how they felt. In the end she ate the cookie anyway. For the final workshop we had to follow the leader. That was basically all we did. We got to see some of the new inventions for the people who can't walk and some of us got even go on them.  

For our second Immersion my group were with Liv . We were working on adding more detail in our school. We went on a small trip to the high school  to take photos of what we wanted in our own school. On the second day we split of into groups and were all given a photo that we took at the high school. The point of the excercise was to write about what we saw in the photo's. On the third day we got to draw a symbol or what we thought described our school the best. I drew a griffin above clouds to represent the school motto; reach for the sky.       

In project immersion we have been working on designing a new playground on Tinkercad. I found it rather difficult as people around me were breezing through all the tutorials. Once we had finished designing our playgrounds we sent them to Jono who 3d printed them. It was really  hypnotising  watching the 3d printer go back and forth. The only problem was that the printer would take about 8 hours to complete our playground designs so only a few could print them
