This week....
This week, we had Monday's period where we edited our video, adding final touches. Then on the Wednesday's lesson, we chose our groups on drama, music or art. We had an introductory lesson, regarding what we will do and what we cannot do.

On Monday's lesson, we did not have the period in our usual classes due to the primary students having their 'Transition Day' in high school. However, having our substitute teacher, we went outside where it is quiet, in order to record our narration since they were not clear with the one we already had. Having some problems also were very severe to our group since when even the tiniest noise gets into the recording, we had to start the narration all over again. We got to a point where we are satisfied with our quality. This is towards the end of the class. Even after this lesson, Mayukh, Raushan and I took time on adding the name, and the title page, with scary pictures to frighten the audience. We have submitted this on Tuesday. However, reflecting our action, we should have managed our time properly, thinking about the system problems we may encounter in editing. I personally thought I have to be better at asking people to cooperate me or my group to complete something on time since I did not do very well in this particular area especially.

In this lesson, we were told that we can choose the rotation (from art, music, and drama) for the remaining term. Since it is Ramadan timing, we were told that we cannot do anything with loud noises. Then each teacher of the rotation explained us briefly what we are going to do in each field: Art will focus on the still life, music will focus on the history of music, and drama will focus on costume and stage setting. At first, I lined up in the art queue, since that was my first choice. I do enjoy doing art, and I take Enrichment art, doing the same topic, so I wanted more time to make my piece be more detailed. Even so, there were too many people who wanted to go in art. That's why Ms. Harrington (art teacher) picked students out of random to go onto the other sections. That is how I was put into my drama class. At first, I was sad that I was not able to go to my desired class, but hearing what we will be doing, I felt interested. We can choose either costume or set design to sketch. Although I still haven't exactly decided what I will draw, I am very excited at the moment to develop new skills.
Next Week....
Next week, I will have to decide on what I will do for my sketch, annotate them and color them in to make it look more realistic.
