Presentation reflection 2

In today's lesson, the next group presented,the group consisted of Mohammed Khaled,Amone,Henhoe,Riccardo and Sam.Their powerpoint was about the woodwinds.For their group, I would give them a substantial (5) because their presentation was not put together and instead of putting it into 1 video powerpoint they had separate slides that lacked visual images and also some of the people lacked information.Another reason I think they should get a substantial (5) is that two of the people didn't even have slides to present so instead they had to present information from their prior knowledge.However 1 person had more than one slide and was quite informative but still did not have any images.To conclude I think they did well for a substantial level but they should improve on their next presentation to reach a higher level next time.

Presentation reflections

 Peer Evaluations

Today In Music all of us presented our powerpoint presentations about the instruments of the Orchestra.One of the groups that presented today consisted of Sireen,Salma,Ward ,Pres ha and Anishka.Their group presented about the string Family and the instruments in it.Personally I believe I would give them an Excellent (7).The reason I believe that they should get a (7) is their presentation was very detailed and clear and also very informative, other than that they were also confident and did not hesitate anytime during their presentation, they also made sure that they explained every single slide in a.However the only way I think they can improve is maybe if they added a little more Eye contact while presenting and talk in a slower manner.To conclude I believe that their group deserves an Excellent (7) because of the manner they presented in and the information that they presented in their presentation.

The second group that presented consisted of Akshansh, Arthur, Nasser,Faris and Karim, they presented a powerpoint about Percussion instruments.For their group, I think the mark should be Excellent (7)  because they were not perfect but their presentation was still very beneficial and educational it was also very detailed and the information was easily understood because of the simple.On the other hand, the only thing I think they can improve is maybe they can be a little more confident and can hesitate a little less. And can try to give more eye contact by trying not to read to much from the information on the slides.To conclude I believe that their group deserves an excellent (7) because of how they presented and the quality of information that they have delivered.

Powerpoint video Brass Family



This is My powerpoint Video about the Brass Family












Powerpoint Reflection

My group researched about the instruments in the Brass family.My group consisted of Rania,Kiyara,Harang and I . I was responsible for researching and writing information about the Tuba instrument. Rania was responsible for investigating and writing about the  Trombone  instrument, Kiyara  was responsible for researching and writing about the  Euphonium instrument, and  Harang was responsible for researching and writing about the Trumpet.For our powerpoint each of us in the group described the features(what it is in detail) of our instruments that we chose from the Brass family  and how they were played, we also then added some additional information about our instruments for example who created it, what it is made of, the different types of Tubas and how to play certain notes or reach certain octaves.I believe that our powerpoint is very informative and also very detailed, I also think that we collaborated really well through the creation if the project because we were able to divide and delegate the tasks for the powerpoint easily and with not difficulty whatsoever, however, I also believe that the process the powerpoint was very smooth and successful.Lastly, I believe that I and my group have benefited a lot from our research and investigation about the Brass family other than that we have really enjoyed doing this assessment and also enjoyed working with other fellow students. On the other hand, we have met some bumps through the process but have easily overcome our bumps together with not trouble to conclude from my perspective I believe me and my group have delivered an amazing powerpoint for our assessment.

Mask Progress

Today in my art lesson I finalized and improved my mask with more features.My mask generally represents me because all the different shapes represent the different stages of my life the colors represent the different feelings I experience through my life.I believe though the creation of my mask there were some bumps but I think most of the making was very successful and educational towards me.The way I improved my mask was before it only use to be a circular collage but then today I added feathers and facial details such as the nose.The feathers represented one of my favourite animals which is a peacock.In conclusion, the experience was very educational and fun and I have really enjoyed it.
