9/10-9/11 Lab Instructions

Hello!

Thanks to everyone who worked hard on Thursday! Remember that I can see all of the work that you do... or don't... complete. You will receive a large grade for your hard work! There's an additional slide added to the bottom of this blog post. Enjoy!

Please remember to head to the library for class on Thursday and Friday! You will be reflecting on your storytelling video and splits pictures. Check back on this blog both days to make sure that you have the most up to date information!

Please download and use Google Chrome!

Check to see if you have shared your portfolio with me. Thanks to those who shared yesterday! I'm still missing a few!

If you do not have a portfolio or do not remember how to access your portfolio, you should go back to the blog post from 8/24

If you do not have the following four slides complete, that's where you should start today. Directions for each of the four slides can also be found on the blog post from 8/24

  1. Collage of 20 images that represent who you are.
  2. Table of Contents 
  3. Class Mission statement with dancer characteristics (found on blog post from 8/24)
  4. 3 individual goals with pictures to help visualize them
Slide 5. Storytelling Video (6th hour - skip for now)
  • Your group's storytelling video should be posted on your portfolio. If it is not on the correct number slide, you can move it around. To view your video, you'll need to click Present in the top right corner, and then you will push play. If it still doesn't work, reload and try again. If it still doesn't work, email me.
  • If you were not there, please skip down to the last bullet of this section to see your alternative assignment.
  • You will answer the following questions after watching your video (you can post these on a new slide, the same slide, or in the notes section of your portfolio):
    1. Provide a short description of the story that your group told through movement (3-5 sentences).
    2. What was your role in the group? Were you the leader, active participant, idea generator? Explain how your group worked together (3-5 sentences).
    3. How did your group use each element of dance (1 sentence each)?
      1. Body
      2. Energy
      3. Action
      4. Space
      5. Time
    4. Which section or movement in the storytelling best demonstrated an aspect or part of the story? How (3-5 sentences)?
  • Alternative assignment if you did not participate in the storytelling video. Read this article and summarize it in 15-20 sentences.
Slide 6 or Slides 6-8 Splits Pics
  • Your splits pictures should be on your portfolio for class on Thursday or at the beginning of class on Friday. You may shrink these to all fit on one page or you may leave them on separate pages. 
  • If you were not there/don't have your pictures posted, answer all of the questions that you can without the pictures.
  • You will answer the following questions after reviewing your pictures (you can post these on a new slide, the same slide, or in the notes section of your portfolio):
    1. Describe your current level of flexibility. Remember that flexibility isn't just about the splits; it could be about other muscles and areas of the body (2-3 sentences).
    2. Describe your favorite stretch and what areas of the body you feel that it is stretching. This could be something we have done in class or something else (2-3 sentences).
    3. What other parts of the body do you feel like need more focus for flexibility?
    4. How do you plan to continue to increase your flexibility throughout the school year?
Slide 7 or Slide 9
  • Some of you may have already started this project, but not everyone has.
    1. Find a dance video of a group. Make sure it’s something that you would like to be inspired by for one of our recital dances.
    2. Paste the video on the 5th slide.
      1. Copy the URL (www.youtube.com...)
      2. Go to your Portfolio, Insert, video, and click URL
      3. Select okay!
    3. Give a summary of why you like the dance (3-5 sentences).
    4. Then, explain what technical elements you would like to replicate in the recital and why.
      1. Stage/set (1 sentence)

      3. Props (1 sentence)
