Week 9 Reflection

This week was the final week of Exhibition. We are all upset that this Exhibition is finished because we quite enjoyed this time together.

Putting Up Our Boards

On Monday, we spent a lot of time putting up the background and pinning some information on our boards. We also made some kind of chain things with paper leaves attached on to put up at the last minute. The leaves on the chains contained information on how to reduce pollution. We did that because we were afraid that our board didn’t have enough space for our long bits of information. On Tuesday morning we started to panic with our boards because we still hadn’t really finished pinning up everything while the others had  already started stapling. We then worked together much better and finished pinning everything very quickly. Soon, we started stapling but then we realised that the bottom of the board was quite empty so we had to go back to the classroom to find some of our artwork we made to cover up the bottom.

Drama

The drama went quite well because we added some humorous bits in to make it a bit more interesting. We also had an extra practice at Antonio’s house on Tuesday afternoon, though everybody was not there we added the humorous bits and made sure that everybody knew their lines. On Tuesday night, we performed it quite well because nobody forgot their lines and the parents, teachers and students laughed and it seemed like they enjoyed it. On Wednesday morning, we had to perform again because Shatin Junior School and Kowloon Junior School came to visit our Exhibition. This performance also went successfully though we had a  mistake because Antonio’s fake car was upside down but everybody laughed at that hilariously.

Overall we thought that everything went successfully because we didn’t have any big problems this week.

Week 8 Reflection

This week we followed Mrs Lowe’s advice from the last mentor meeting: finish all our display work as quick as possible. She said that there was nothing really to be done and that all we needed to do is to totally memorize our script. We did laminate all of our title, most of our subtitles and some of the photos that we have took during the 8 weeks of Exhibition.

Display Work

This week we have also finished our English and Math work as well as the things we finished as mentioned above. We are all a bit worried because the titles that we have finished typing up couldn’t be printed as all of the printers at school on Friday were either jammed, broken or had low toner/ink. Because of this, Jaime will type out our titles again, print it out and mount it on colour paper.

Our group has decided on using newspaper for the background and any bright colour for mounting our work on. We have also decided on some fonts we are going to use. For titles, we are using Luckiest Guy, for subtitles we are using Bubblegum Sans and for body text, we are using Coming Soon. These fonts are only available on Google Drive so when we are using Word, we choose the best fonts available.

Action

Our drama for action is going to be acted on the Exhibition Day/Night. We have started practicing in the hall to get our standing arrangements right. We have also started bringing our props and using the presentation we made (our backgrounds) for practice. We all feel like we have to learn our lines as soon as possible because some members still haven’t learned our lines. We also need to get our props sorted out because sometimes, we have to use quite a lot of time to get into our props (eg. the car) Also, Ms Lynn gave us advice on how to edit our script. She said that since the Exhibition included Mandarin work, she asked us if we could add some Mandarin to the script.

We all hope that we can finish all our work on time and that our drama will go smoothly. We also hope that our display boards will turn up nice and organized.
