Song project for Romeo and Juliet
I chose the song assignment to reflect on because I am proud of it. I got full marks on it and took my time, which is sometimes a struggle for me. I did a second draft which turned out way better than the first draft. This project also encouraged me to think creatively on how I was going to explain it. I really had to pay attention to the similarities between the play and the song that I had chosen.
I constantly compared my work to the model as I was writing the script up. I started writing my script by writing my name, block, and the date in the top right hand corner of my page. I then wrote up my script. after I had written up my script with minimal formatting I finished it up. I made the actions three tabs in and the speeches two tabs in so everything was spaced out. Then I was finished.
I can work with others to achieve a goal. I chose this because this project was a project where I worked with a partner to complete the script. I helped them and they helped me, and together we worked as a team to hand in our best work.
I can take on roles and responsibilities in a group; I do my share. In the project we split up the work evenly between us and bounced ideas back and forth.
I can apply constructive strategies to navigate misunderstandings and conflicts. When my project partner didn’t understand how to translate something into modern English or how to format something I helped them by explaining it to them so that they would understand how to do it in the future.
| Potential stressors | Coping strategies that I use |
| homework being called on to do everything at home | Do a little bit at a time. Do the hardest tasks first. Take short breaks every so often. Telling my sister that she has to do something. Take a deep breath. |
When I have a belt test for martial arts that I’m really worried about I just have to take a deep breath and tell myself that I’ll be fine and that I won’t fail. Sometimes there will be weekends that all my teachers give me homework but I’m also doing things over the weekend. When this happens I have to be very good at managing time. I do all the hardest things that I have first when I have time and then I do the rest of it when Im not doing things.
Sometimes I end up advocating for others more than myself and I need to work on advocating for myself more.
To choose character markers Emilio and I read through the shortened story and found bits of the story that explained how the characters looked. For example the story takes place in Greece so I think that the characters would have darker skin because it’s warm in Greece and people spend a lot of time outside. For the setting the story mentioned that the characters were in a forest and it also mentioned that the story sets place in Athens. The story mostly sets place in the forest so I imagine that the mood would be quite whimsical so we put in some whimsically music in.
Working collectively-I can work effectively with Emilio and split up the work so that we each did our fair amount. We also worked out details together like the music and the slide order.
Evaluating and developing-I can personalize the video so that you can recognize that it was me and someone else who did it and we didn’t plagiarize anything.
Connecting and engaging with others-I can connect with other people to understand what their thought process is, to be able to work with them better.
Building relationships-I can build relationships more easily when I have been working with them and
