Blog 24: Last Presentation Reflection

(1) Positive Statement

What are you most proud of in your block presentation and/or your senior project? Why?

I am most proud of how much I have grown from my project. This project has made me get my foot in to door in my future career! I have met so many people that have helped me with this journey and are going to help me in my career journey.

(2) Questions to Consider

a.     What assessment would you give yourself on your block presentation?  Use the component contract to defend that assessment.


AE       P          AP       CR       NC


I think I deserve an AE on my presentation. I understand that I was 5 minutes away from my 1 hour minimum, but every other aspect of this presentation was worked on to the max and I really put all of my knowledge into this.

b.     What assessment would you give yourself on your overall senior project? Use the component contract to defend that assessment.

AE       P          AP       CR       NC

I deserve an AE on my senior project because I spent literally hundreds of hours on this project. My research notebook is flawless and I have put my all into this project.

(5) Finding Value

How has the senior project been helpful to you in your future endeavors?   Be specific and use examples.

Like I said before, I chose a topic that I am so passionate about. Being forced to get a mentorship has helped me meet people like Joanna Lopez, Linda Bisesti and many others that I have had the oppertunities to work with and will hopefully work with in the future. I have never had more of a craving to do theatre than after this project. My passion has really blossomed from this project and I could not have asked for a better expierence.

Answer 2

What is your EQ?

How can a stage manager ensure a show runs smoothly?

2.  What is your first answer? (In complete thesis statement format)

Proper Pre Planning Prevents Poor Preformance.

3.  What is your second answer? (In complete thesis statement format)

Fake it til you make it.

4.  List three reasons your answer is true with a real-world application for each.

My first answer: My father was the one who has always told me about the 6 p's. He learned them when he was in the national guard because it is essential to plan everything out precisely if you want it to go dmoothly.

Second answer: Fake it til you make it is something my 5th grade teacher taught me when I was nervous about going in front of a large crowd to speak. She said that if you act like you know what you're doing, no one will tell you otherwise. This helps in stage managment because a lot of people rely on you to know what you're doin and how to do it well. 


5.  What printed source best supports your answer?
Fazio, Larry. "Stage Manager The Professional Expierence" Feb 2000. Page 13-14
6.  What other source supports your answer?

My interviews all talk about how important confidence is when calling cues and how much it helps to have everything planned.

7.  Tie this together with a  concluding thought.

Being a stage manager is all about time management, flexibility and confidence. Without those three, none of the cast and crew will respect or trust you and your skills.

Lesson 2 Reflection

1.What are you most proud of in your Lesson 2 Presentation and why?

I am most proud that my answer 1 is clearly communicated in my really pretty powerpoint.

2. a.     What assessment would you give yourself on your Lesson 2 Presentation (self-assessment)?

      P

     b.     Explain why you deserve that grade using evidence from the Lesson 2 component contract.

I think I deserve a p because I did everything that was required and o thi k I did it well, but I didn't exactly go above any standard.

3. What worked for you in your Lesson 2?

I liked my lesson 2 because my answer worked really well with my presentation.

4. What didn't work? If you had a time machine, what would you have done differently to improve your Lesson 2?

I would ramble less at the end of my presentation.

5. What do you think your answer #2 is going to be?

My answer 2 is probably going to be communication with everyone.

Blog 11: Lesson 1 Reflection

1. What are you most proud of in your lesson, and why?

I am honestly most proud that I made time. I was very afraid that I wouldn't make time and I would fail completely.

2. What assessment would you give yourself on your lesson? Explain why you earned that grade using evidence from the component contract.

I think that I would have earned an AE on this assignment because I thought about what I was going to say and how it would flow together. I think I got a fair assessment because I didn't do this blog until it was too late.

3. If you could go back, what would you change about your lesson?  How can you use that knowledge to give a better Lesson 2?

If I could go back, I would try to speak slower and use a better visual for my presentation. Maybe something like a timeline. I think that since the next lesson is longer, I will be able to take my time and breathe between sentences.
