Social Awareness and Responsibility- Musical Theatre
The aspects of creating this year’s show that I enjoyed, were seeing everything come together, and feeling ready to present it to friends and family. On the other hand, I did not enjoy when leaders and cast members got at each other’s throats when the long hours and lack of a teacher got to us. I feel like working on the show this year led to some vocal improvement on my part, as well as making me a stronger leader or role model of sorts. If I had the opportunity to do the production again, I would give many small tasks to many different people, in order to spread out the work and stress levels a bit more evenly.
I created this poem in the hopes of providing the reader with an intense and familiar experience. The words that I used in the poem are very extreme and wild, and the reader feels like they are actually in the presence of this intense body of water. Most people have been to a river like the one I describe in my poem, so I wanted to make the unpredictability of the river show through and become relatable in a sense. In my poem, I included three senses: sight, touch, and sound.
Creative Thinking Core Competency Reflection
Originally, I was going to write my poem about a book, but I changed my mind to write about a topic that had more movement and life that I could describe. To write the poem, I visualized a river in my head, and tried to put into words, the experience you have when you are near a strong river. To concentrate on writing my poem, I left the noisy foyer of the school and went to the library, where it was quieter.
