Ways we can get better is staying together as a class, following directions, and contain the distractions in order to be dedicated to the selected choreography. I think i can better myself by practicing at home by myself for a good amount of time and act more respectful. So many challenges are being faced because of the lack of effort and respect. these challenges can be solved by being more dedicated & way more respectful. I think me and my group have prepared correctly in order to put on a not only exciting but superb performance.
ReplyDeleteI think the class can better themselves by simply following directions. Some people in the class have a little too much of an attitude. If we can willingly work together and get rid of this bad quality, I feel that we can accomplish much more. I think I can better myself by being more of a help when it comes to encouraging my peers to get a task done. For example, if Ms. Martinez said something like “everyone assemble for our Skelewu dance”, I would go around the room to reinforce her direction because not everyone assembles right away (which is what they should be doing, but choose not to). I think so many challenges are being faced because we have a few “bad seeds” in the class that spread negative energy. We are young adolescent males, so it is natural for us to goof off and play around. We just need to know when it is time to readjust. There is a time and place for everything. As the final week is approaching, I feel both nervous and excited. I think I am more excited, however. I feel ready to perform because I basically have all the moves down and I am prepared to buy outfits. I think my group is just about ready as well because they also have all the moves down. The only problem is that we need to teach one of members how to be more loose.
ReplyDeleteThe class can better themselves by lending a helping hand and being more serious. I can better myself by being the way I am everyday which is being awesome. There are so many challenges being faced in class because people are not taking the class serious. They can be solved if we take the class more serious. I feel the performance will be spectacular. I am indeed ready to perform because I know the dance steps to a tee. My group is ready to perform because we have worked hard on perfecting this dance.
ReplyDeleteBy Aaron Cohen 1. I think that the class could better themselves by practicing even when they are not in class. Most groups will sit out if there is only one person missing, but instead of practicing like they should they sit out instead. That is lazy and wastes time.
ReplyDelete2. I am lazy I should practice over the weekend it would better my dancing. Practicing during my lunch period would help also. Practice! Practice! Practice!

ReplyDeleteThe class can get better as they worked hard everyday by moving with different new steps and things that the class has never done before. Like each group has to make their own freestyle dance so its a little bit challenging for those who do not have experience on dancing.In this class I have feel a little challenged by this new moves because I’m not really used to dance club music. I believe I can get better by practicing every new move that challenges me on my daily life. Also I believe I can get better by dancing in front of a mirror so that I can see what I’m doing right or wrong.There are many challenges that the class has to face because the class isn’t really use to be dancing and practicing. This challenges can be done by working hard every day and by making yourself positive that you are going to learn something that might help you on your future.The final week is coming and I feel a little scared of dancing in front of the whole school. I believe I will be ready for the day of the presentation, also I believe that I can have confidence on myself and know that what we are going to present is going to look great. My group is ready to present. I see everybody with confidence, but we have to keep working every day for every little mistake we make.
ReplyDelete2. Practicing more often, taking fewer breaks could help improve my dancing a lot. Some of the dances I'm not all to comfortable with so I try to add my own style to some of the moves. I love dancing!
ReplyDeleteThe ways in which I think the class can better themselves is by being more productive in class dances and groups. By being more attentive to class objective and the instructions given by the teachers. The other day we had a group circle where we were discussing situations that happened that day. Some of the students weren't listening to the the teachers when they asked for quiet. When the teachers ask for the groups to come up to dance, some don't participate or if they do decide to dance they take their time. These are some of the minor things where as a class we have to grown on and for ourselves. The reason why there are so many challenges being faced in the class now is because we have so many different personalities. We tend to approach things are way and that takes away from what the class needs to do, to be able to have a successful day. The class can solve the challenges by putting our differences outside and following the rules that the teachers put in place for us to follow. If we all just to follow the class objective, everyday can run efficient. As the final week is approaching, I feel great about the performance. I feel as if all our hard work will show when we perform. I believe that I’m ready to perform because I put a lot of work into the choreography for our group. As of now my group has minor problems with one part of the choreography. However, I believe if we continue to practice we will fulfill our goal of a having a great dance performance.
ReplyDeleteSorry for repeating my answer for question two so much computer problems.
ReplyDeleteThe class can better themselves by joking less and taking the class itself more serious. However, I think the class can also benefit from having a sense of humor and not taking little jokes to heart. I can better myself by focusing while i'm in class and not diverting my attention to my phone or distracted class members. We face many challenges in class because we are teenagers who need something to always occupy our attention. We can solve this problem by practicing quietly while other groups are using the speakers. I feel like our performance is slowly coming together and it's going to be a thing to remember. We are not ready to perform now but we will be next week.
ReplyDeleteDuring this week we have come across some problems as a class. I think that people in our class need to listen to instructions and not talk back to the teachers as much. For example when Mrs.Lenahan asked some students not to take soda from Chipotle in outside cups people went ahead and did it anyway. Even though I try my best to behave in class sometimes I don’t always feel like giving up my phone for the day. Certain people in our class are the cause of these problems, and just have no respect for the teacher's authority. As the final week is approaching I feel as though we are prepared for our school presentations. I believe that I can dance in front of the school without being nervous because I am confident that I know the dances. However, our group is not yet ready to perform because we don’t have enough choreography to fill our group’s time.
ReplyDeleteI think the class can better themselves by showing more respect towards the teachers. For example, some students decided to steal drinks from Chipotle even after being told numerous times not to by Mrs. Lenahan. For myself, I can continue to listen to and respect our teachers’ instructions. If they tell us to dance I’m going to dance without second-guessing their instructions. The lack of respect and ability to behave is the only reason challenges are being faced. We can solve these problems by having more self control. The final week is coming soon and I feel like if we work hard we will be able to perform in time for presentations. By adding more choreography to our second song we will be able to finish our three minute routine.

DeleteThe class can better themselves by practicing everyday and looking for the things they're not doing right and perfecting them. They can also prepare themselves by focusing on the timing of the moves. I can prepare myself by looking at the way I do the moves in the mirror when we go to the studio and also looking at the way the better students do the dance and comparing it to how I do the dance . I believe that the difficulties that occur in our class happen because of people not cooperating with each other and not wanting to learn the dances. I also think there are problems happening because people in the class have bad attitudes and want to do what they want instead of what the class needs. We can stop these problems by doing what we need to do when we need to do it and respecting the authority of the teachers. As the final week approaches I am becoming more familiar with the our group dance. Since we all already know the steps, we are focusing on improving the little things and how we do the steps. I think personally I am prepared for the dance.
The class can be better if all the students actually are really interested in the class and participate more. In addition, the students have to be more respectful to the teachers and do whatever they ask them to do. For example, when we go to the studio we have to follow the teacher’s instructions and not do whatever we want to do.
ReplyDeleteIn class I play around too much with some of my friends and I have to control that so that I can get a better grade for the class. However, my friends have to stop playing around as well and control themselves. For example, Matias and I play around many times around the class and well play fight a lot.
Some of the challenges that we have in our class is that many of the students have problems learning steps of a song and many people play around in class a lot. However, these two major problems can be solved. The people that know the steps can teach the others that do not know the steps so that it can be easier to learn. Anyhow, those students that play around in class can be warned for the first time, but for the second time they have to be sent to Mr. Rowe.
As the final week is approaching I feel really excited for the performance, but nervous at the same time. In addition, I feel like I am ready to perform an spectacular dance and give the audience the best of me and the whole class. The whole class seems to be ready to perform the dances, but some students still need to learn steps the correct way.
The class can better themselves by being more cooperative.when teachers tell us to do something we should do it.
ReplyDeleteI can better myself by responding well to criticism.
There are only challenges because some people over exaggerate things. We can solve this by not getting mad at irrelevant situations.
I feel like I will perform well if God allows me to. My group and I are ready because we practice efficiently.
The class can get better in many ways for example one of the ways we can get better, one would be everybody agreeing to a song to perform, many people feeled force to perform the song so thats why they did it they just didn’t say anything.
ReplyDeletePersonally i can say that for me to get better i don't necessarily need to find everything easy, but i would like to find something i can dance and be decent in it at least, not be lost completely not just because i don't know the dance but because i can’t do the dance.
Their is many challenges in class one of them been my ability of not doing something i know i’m not going to good at.
personally for myself i’m not prepper, the group i believe they are prepper, i feel like the people that are going to perform , they are going to do great.
