Some questions for you to think about:
(1)How did your group present the big picture book? Acting out? Reading together?
(2) Did the filming make you feel nervous?
(3) Did the audience respond to your presentation?
(4) How did your presentation go?
(5)In what way would you like to try to make your presentation next time even better than this one?
1) My group presents the big picture book through a narrator’s reading and other five members’ acting. We condensed the book and focused on its main idea. Besides, we chose key points to act because of limited time.
ReplyDelete2) Absolutely, I was so nervous because it is my first experience to be filmed in front of my classmates. I felt kind of uneasy and acted stiffly.
3) Unfortunately, it was a break time when it was our turn to act. So some students left. But other classmates still had some responses to our acting, such as laughing. Moreover, I think we have caught their eye because they watch our presentation with concentration. In other words, it was not bad, but not excellent. We still have space to make improvement.
4) We tried hard to speak out loud and acted exaggeratedly so that our classmates won’t feel confused about the book’s plot. However, I think I am a black sheep in my group because I was too nervous to act confidently.
I felt kind of sorry to my members. They are all good actors. I am not good at acting, but I will try to amend my flaw.
5) I would try to remember my entire actor’s lines. I would do my part confidently and discuss with my classmates about my problem and nervousness. I think our classmates like humorous actors and exciting plots, so next time I should act more interestingly, naturally and clearly.

1.We arranged a narrator in our group. He read out the summary storyline and girls in our group acted out. We girls waited each time until he finished each part of his storytelling.
ReplyDelete2.I was just nervous about I wasn’t filmed into the video! Kidding you. In fact, it wasn’t my first time to present onstage but it was the first time our presentation was recorded! Because the recordings are meant to be uploaded onto You Tube, I was kind of nervous about how to make our movements understandable and how to clearly sent out our message.
3.Our story is about a teacher teaching her students about rock varieties. We intended to surprise our audience by stepping downstage to look for rock, which was replaced by water bottles or pencil boxes. It seems that our audience didn’t know what we were doing. Sad.
4.We had trouble deciding how we were going to present our story. At first, we browsed through the whole story. Afterwards, each one of us gave ideas and discussed them. We put some adaption to the interactive conversations. In addition, we created some lively and amusing actions along the story plot. During presentation, we kind of forgot how to pronounce some difficult words and our voice volumes weren’t loud enough. However, I think we did pretty well in general. We made a good team!
5.We need to exaggerate our movements a little more. Plus, speak lines clearly. Storytelling is about body languages and spoken languages. Audiences are there to be amused instead of being bored. Therefore, add some interesting elements to entertain them! Next time we can also try to perform an opera, if we can sing…

You both have learned from the experience. I think your performance will become better and better with many practices under way in our class. I have confidence in you! This is a wonderful class!

(1)How did your group present the big picture book? Acting out? Reading together?
ReplyDeleteBasically, we acted this big picture book out. We have one narrator and five actresses. All of us tried our best to condense entire story in order to make the audience understand what the picture book expressed in the limited time.
(2)Did the filming make you feel nervous?
No. Maybe I am not the person who has to perform in front of all the students and teacher. The only thing I have to concern is if I lead the plot correctly and make my partner carefree to do whatever they want instead of being restrained.
(3) Did the audience respond to your presentation?
Yes, the audience gave some feedback to our performance. They applauded after we did our show. Although we were not that great, they still gave us a big hand encouragingly. I knew our performance still had a long way to go. I was so grateful for their support.
(4) How did your presentation go?
I thought my presentation was rough. Each frame I could speak it out loud. However, every time I encountered the key transition, I would forget what to say. That made the whole show dumb. The more I practiced, the few mistakes it would be.
(5)In what way would you like to try to make your presentation next time even better than this one?
Do more rehearsals as possible as we can. In that way I could memorize every line of mine so as to reduce mistakes I had made and let the rest partners performance smoothly. Besides, reorganize the whole story to make it understood much more easily.
From student ID 95360306
(1)How did your group present the big picture book? Acting out? Reading together?
ReplyDelete>>> First, we went through the picture book in order to understand the main ideas about the story. Second, we discussed how to present the story with strong effects. Then, we decided to present it by two members as asides and others acting the important parts of the plot.
(2) Did the filming make you feel nervous?
>>> In fact, I didn't feel very nervous because I was not a actor in the presentation but just a narrator. However, I was very worried if my pronunciation was correct and clear.
(3) Did the audience respond to your presentation?
>>> Yes, the audience responded to our presentation. They gave us hearty laugh as we acted with funny interpretations,which mainly caught their eyes.
(4) How did your presentation go?
>>> First, we had a great acting. However,in the midway, we turned to a little bit influent because of the lines not remembered enough. Besides, I ,a narrator, was not telling the story smoothly. After all, there are something to be desired.
(5)In what way would you like to try to make your presentation next time even better than this one?
>>> I will speak out the lines more loudly and clearly. In addition, I would like to have more exaggerative actings to vivify my character.

(1)How did your group present the big picture book? Acting out? Reading together?
ReplyDeleteAfter discussion, all of us came to a conclusion that we must use not only acting but also reading together to present this big picture book called "Flower Graden". Individually, we took turns to be teacher and children.
(2) Did the filming make you feel nervous?
To tell the truth, it doesn't matter whether it was filming or not because I paid all my attention to acting, to show this performance well. Already forgot there was a frame in front of the platform.
(3) Did the audience respond to your presentation?
During the presentation, my classmates did not directly talk to us as respond. Nonetheless, they showed their participation by laughing when someone made stupid mistakes or something went funny.
(4) How did your presentation go?
I consider that my group is the best one due to the continually sound of laughter from the audience. There were five people in my group, so we took turns to be teacher and childrne. When being teacher, you need to read the words on the picture book. Oppositely, children would say and do something to respond the teacher.
(5)In what way would you like to try to make your presentation next time even better than this one?
To make my presentation better, I would like to do more vividly actions, speak louder so as to let everyone hear cleverly, and interact with the audience more.
from Vivi, student ID 98540333
(1)How did your group present the big picture book? Acting out? Reading together?
ReplyDeleteAt first, we hadn’t the foggest idea. After brainstorming for a while, we decided to act it out. The time of rehearsal was not enough, it nearly drove us crazy. Every moment counts. Each of our members was like the ants on the hot pot at that time. Eager to reach a stalemate, we kept on discussing how to exhibit the story in the speed of racing cars. In the end, we use our own imagination to picture the virtual reality on the stage. By demonstrating a play in this way, the audience would beable to have a deeper understanding of the picture book.
(2) Did the filming make you feel nervous?
To speak frankly, a little bit. It was my first time being recorded by the technological machine without being informed in advance. I could barely find where the restrictions of the stage were. Fortunately, Vinia gave us instructions during the performance which made me feel confident and relaxed again.
(3) Did the audience respond to your presentation?
Actually, the audience did not completely know what the story was; therefore, they just stared at us and made no response. What only comforted me was that the audience clapped at the end of our play How generous they were.
(4) How did your presentation go?
Overall, I think we still do a good job owing to we came up with the way how to perform it in such short period. During the performance, we tried out best not to stutter and articulate each word. Although, it our first time to digest this mission, we really did well.
(5)In what way would you like to try to make your presentation next time even better than this one?
With a view to attract the attention of the audience, I think we need to be extravagant and exaggerating in our play. In this case, they will definitely pay fully attention to us without distraction. Or change the other style of story-telling would be an alternative. People love being children, fearing nothing and being protected under the wings of parents. I think we could mimic a mother tells a story to her lovely kids next time.
From~ Saleishia student ID:98540315
(1)How did your group present the big picture book? Acting out? Reading together?
ReplyDeleteWe presented the picture book by acting with narrators telling the story.
(2) Did the filming make you feel nervous?
No, because I was the narrator and I didn’t have to act. If I was the actor, I would feel more nervous. Besides, I think it was a fun activity and I quite enjoyed in it so I didn’t feel very nervous.
(3) Did the audience respond to your presentation?
I think so, after the presentation, I had heard applause and laughing from the audience.
(4) How did your presentation go?
I think it was OK for the first time to present picture books on stage. We had an interesting story and we acted it out with vivid characters. The only bad point was that our volume was not good enough. And maybe I didn’t have enough confidence to read the line out loud.
(5)In what way would you like to try to make your presentation next time even better than this one?
To make the presentation better, I would like the volume higher. And we have to practice more before the presentation. The actors and the narrators should find a proper distance so that everyone can see the picture book as well as the actors.
from Linda, student ID 98540332
(1)My group present the big picture book in action. We performed the plot and each one of us played the characters in the book. We have a farmer, a cat, a dog and chickens and so on.
ReplyDelete(2) Yes, I felt a little nervous. As long as I stand on the stage, I get nervous more or less. But because I faced my group members instead of the audience, I was not very nervous.
(3) No, unfortunately they didn’t. In our original plan, there are some funny actions that we thought they would burst into laughter. While the situation didn’t go well as we wished, they didn’t respond to us much.
(4) We discussed after we got our big picture book and decided the characters we were going to play. Then, we rehearsed for several times outside the classroom. We wanted to entertained others by face expression and action.
(5) We should do every movement more actively and let them see what we are conveying clearly. And as for my part, I want to speak more loudly and pronounce correctly. Besides, I want to conquer the so-called “stage fright.”
~Elvis 98540346
(1) We presented our book by acting out and reading together. With both kinds of presentation, we could make good use of both methods and make children or adults pay attention to us. Of course, there was a main character, which played the role, while others, read the sentences with emotion and sometimes with some actions.
ReplyDelete(2) Well, indeed, I did not feel very nervous while filming. Perhaps, I think we did not actually care about the video camera and we just focused on what we were doing. Sometimes, when you are concentrating on something, you might not be affected by the surroundings and people around you. Therefore, I do not think I was nervous then.
(3) Perhaps yes, I think. Because there was Aaron in our group, and everyone tended to focus on what he would be going to present; therefore, many of the students would focus on our presentation. But the rest of us also did our best to present it, so I think the audience did respond to us.
(4) I think our presentation was pretty fine, but there is still some rooms for us to improve and modify. Because we are telling a story to children, and we are teenagers or even adults, there are very big differences between these two groups. So we cannot say that the response from our classmates could be the standard and children would like our performance. Therefore, I think there is still something we should try to amend even though I think it was quite a good performance.
(5)First, I would like to make our way of thinking become more childish, maybe. The reason is that once we lower our thoughts or something, we will find it much easier to be with children and be identified. Second, we should try many ways to check which one is the best way to present the story to children. Once we use the right one, children would like to pay much more attention to us and then we would get some good response from them.
~Enid 98540340 2010.03.23.Tue.
(1)How did your group present the big picture book? Acting out? Reading together?
ReplyDeleteOur group presented the picture book by acting out. There was one narrator reading the story aloud and other five group members acted. The narrator didn’t read the story line by line. Instead, she just mentioned the main idea of every page so that we wouldn’t spend too much time.
(2) Did the filming make you feel nervous?
Of course, I did. Although this was not my first to act on stage, but whenever I stand on it, it seemed that there were butterflies in my stomach. I was nervous the audience couldn’t understand our presentation and whether I would be cut out in the scene. But it turned out to be all right.
(3) Did the audience respond to your presentation?
Yes, I think so. Because we acted exaggeratedly very much, I heard laughter during our acting. So I think we did catch the audience’s eyes.
(4) How did your presentation go?
I think all our group members didn't have stage fright that much. We didn’t afraid to show ourselves in front of so many people, so we extremely exaggerated. That was why we could catch the audience’s attention. But we still forgot some lines and laughed out loud on the stage during the acting. In general, I think we still did a good job, but there were a lot of space to improve. Next time it will be better!
(5)In what way would you like to try to make your presentation next time even better than this one?
I think all of us should memorize the lines and make it easily understood. Besides, we can have more interactions with the audience. We should make them feel interesting instead of being bored. Furthermore, we should have rehearsal as more as possible, so that all the actors can know what’s going to happen well instead of being reminded right on the stage when we are acting. With all the flaws above, I believe we will make our presentation next time even better.
1.We read the story together at first and know the outline of story. And the we discuss how to play the story. We decide two person play main role and the others tell the story by turns.
ReplyDelete2.Haha! No, I have thick face!! When we decide the role, I tell myself,"You are hedgehog." No matter what I say, Rebaca can response the actor's line. So I didn't feel nervous.
3.Yes! When they lauguh, we can overstate to performance.
4.I feel I can do more better next time and I should practice my English presentation. When I speak English I can't speak it fluently.
5.I will try to have some exaggerating facial expression and try to have more interaction with audience.
~From Yao 95820328.
(1)We presented the big picture book through acting out because we think it is the most effective way to catch audience’s attention and get some response. In our group, we have a narrator and five actors to perform the “Farmer Duck’’.
ReplyDelete(2)No, I didn’t feel nervous about the filming since I like to perform in front of classmates and teachers. Therefore, whenever I stand on the stage to perform or make some announcement , I’d love to express myself most fully in my performance in order to catch audience’s attention and leave a deep impression on them.
(3)Yes, the audience responded to our presentation especially when I , the farmer, abused the duck by ordering it to do everything for me, the audience said that I had been very undue to treat the duck and they all kept scolding me because of my bad temper and laziness. I am glad that the audience gave us lots of response since it may mean we acted not bad.
(4)I think our presentation went well since we didn’t have much time to prepare our presenting a big book but we received much response during the performance. However, we still leave lots of space to improve such as props and the volume.
(5)I would like to make our presentation even better by rehearsing over and over again and by memorizing lines and every detail things. In addition, it is an important thing to make the audience realize what we are doing; therefore, we should raise our sound loud enough, pronounce distinctly and do as much dramatic action as possible next time.
1. We presented the big picture book by acting out and a narrator behind us to read the picture book. We did the entire plot in the book because it’s an easy story. Besides, we had to mimic the sounds of the animals’ pronounce in the book and add something different in our play.
ReplyDelete2. The filming didn’t make me feel nervous. When I first heard that we would film our play, I felt a little nervous. However, when I went on the stage, I didn’t fill nervous at all. I concentrated on our play so I didn’t really care whether we were filming then or not.
3. The audience sometimes responded to our presentation. When we arranged our roles and our play, we arranged some funny things in it. So, when we really acted them out, we heard some laughter. When a group mates mimic sheep’s sound, I heard some people in our class laughed.
4. This is my first time to do such little drama like this in college. We all tried to act it out and thought how to present it to audience. I think we really did a good job. We are all did our best in this short drama.
5. I think I will choose to act out again. I had better be more active and try don’t be afraid or shy when I am on the stage. I want to conquer my stage fright. Besides, we can act more exaggeratedly and speak louder and more clearly. If we can do that, our presentation will be better.
1. We presented the big picture book, Farmer Duck, by acting out with a narrator telling the story. The other five members played the roles in the book respectively. Each of us tried his/her best to perform well to let the audience know what this story is.
ReplyDelete2. I felt a little bit nervous even though I was just a narrator. As it was my first time to play this role, I must speak up loud and clearly. At the beginning, I heard my voice was trembling because I was afraid of not acting well. After a while, I reminded myself of speaking smoothly and loud, making me feel not so nervous as before. Through this presentation, I think it is a good opportunity for me to perform in front of others.
3. Sometimes the audience would respond to our presentation if there was funny or exaggerative acting. Because each of our members played the role of an animal like a duck or a cow, they needed to imitate the animal’s sounds, which made the audience laugh. I think if we had acted out more lively, our presentation would have been received much more laughter and applause.
4. I think it went well although we only practiced for few times. We acted out according to every page of the picture book wrote. However, I think if we had added much more acting to our performance and acted smoothly, it would have been better to catch the audience’s eye.
5.I think we need to memorize lines and act out naturally and lively. Also, I hope we can have more interactions with the audience, which is a lack of our presentation this time. As for me, I need to be more confident in myself and not be so nervous. What’s more, I should try to tell the story more fluently and smoothly.
from Nicky student ID:98540345
1. Our group presented the big picture book “Farmer Duck” by acting out the story in the picture with five group members, and by reading it with one member.
ReplyDelete2. I felt a little nervous. Because I didn’t have any experience of drama performance, I was afraid to confront the classmates in front of me, and didn’t know how to make a perfect drama performance. However, I think the show our group made is really a good experience for me to learn from.
3. I imitated the bleat of a sheep. When I bleated, everyone laughed. Although I didn’t know the reason why they laughed, I was glad that they gave me a feedback.
4. Everyone in our group acted as one character in the story, and imitated their sound vividly. We also took every movement seriously and tried to act out well enough to attract the classmates’ attention. Maybe everyone had different opinions to the drama, but I cherished the opportunity very much. I think I still have room to make progress and I want to learn from my group members.
5. I can learn how to imitate the character in the story alike by making facial expression and acting exaggeratedly. Most important of all, I have to practice many times and make the best performance to everyone.

ReplyDelete(1) How did your group present the big picture book? Acting out? Reading together?
ReplyDeleteWe presented the big picture book through one main character acting and others reading. The main role would highlight the key words loudly to let everyone know what the caterpillar ate. I might attract the people with pretty teachers reading out loud to children.
(2) Did the filming make you feel nervous?
I was kind of worried. I wanted to make it fun and humorous. However, it was a little in vain. I think I didn’t make enough efforts on the presentation. But I think all the members in my group make a good performance in an easy and clear way.
(3) Did the audience respond to your presentation?
Classmates would be good listeners when we were telling the story. Moreover, they might kind of expect what tricks we would exhibit. I think I let them down though.
(4) How did your presentation go?
When the caterpillar ate things, we would repeat what it ate. I was responsible for interacting with classmates and had fun with them. Caterpillar would change itself to butterfly. It was an amazing experience. I think we would perform it more vivid and impressive.
(5)In what way would you like to try to make your presentation next time even better than this one?
I would like to perform a song and dance drama. As a matter of fact, I am not good at them. Well, I think it would be a good experience if I can try it. It is not an easy thing to perform a good show. It requires good singing skills, dancing cells and acting body languages. Cat, The Phantom of the Opera and musical schools are classic and they are my favorites.
~ from Aaron student ID: 98540342 ~
(1)After discussion, we had a conclusion that the big picture book called “Flower Garden” lack of storylines, so it made us hard to act out clearly. We decided to present it just like teacher talks a story to children and we took turns to be teacher and children in order to make the presentation more interesting.
ReplyDelete(2)No, I thought that it was more nervous to speak the lines in English than the filming. I worried about forgetting the words I had to say and also afraid of using the wrong grammar when reading through the lines.
(3)Because I concentrated in my presentation, I didn’t pay attention to the facial expression of the audience. However, I still heard some laughter from them. I thought our performance made them feel pleasant.
(4)This was my first time to act in English. I felt it interesting but I was a little nervous to perform on the stage. My nervousness let me forget what I had to say and make my body stiff.
(5)Personally, I have to get rid of my nervousness. Maybe I can improve my English speaking ability to make my lines more fluently and I should practice more for the better performance. For group, we can use some material to help and spend more time on designing our performance in order to make it attracting and interesting.
From 鍾昕展 Eric, student ID 95360305
(1)How did your group present the big picture book? Acting out? Reading together?
ReplyDeleteWe kind of act and read at the same time, three girls read different parts of the book and 子清act out the caterpillar. It’s kind of stupid because he didn’t know what to do and we all laughed but it was fun that’s for sure.
(2) Did the filming make you feel nervous?
YES!!!!! It made me shake from the bottom of feet to the top of my head. It feels really official and there’s no chance to “screw up”. So …yes, I was really nervous. But in the end 子清 was too funny, I laugh too hard so I forgot to be nervous.
(3) Did the audience respond to your presentation?
Not really, I think it’s because it’s not funny enough or it’s a little boring so they didn’t really laugh or gave us a big hand. Maybe next time we should work harder to think of something new and funny so everyone would enjoy it more.
(4) How did your presentation go?
It was smooth but like I said there wasn’t a lot of respond, I think that’s a really big problem. If you guys couldn’t find the fun in the presentation how can kids find it interesting? We should work harder next time to give everybody a better preferment. Make everybody laugh and say “bravo”. That way I think kids would love it too!!
(5)In what way would you like to try to make your presentation next time even better than this one?
I think we should do some more fun acting part and our speaking need more soul. For example the acting could be more exaggerate to make it funnier and as for the speaking part, Lets say there’s a witch in the story maybe we should act out the sound of a witch or even act like one. Make it like a story telling because kids would pay more of there attention if you have lively sound or acting. If we can know we have a presentation earlier, we can even make costumes and backgrounds, so let make it a better job next time.^^
Fish ID No.98540322
(1)How did your group present the big picture book? Acting out? Reading together?
ReplyDeleteWe presented our story by reading it together and acting out.
(2) Did the filming make you feel nervous?
Yes, I felt very nervous becuse we didn't have much time to prepare it well and our actors were not enough so we asked
person who was in the other group to help us.
(3) Did the audience respond to your presentation?
Yes, I peeked that some people laughed when we did something stupid.
(4) How did your presentation go?
I think we did a good job because we arranged the drama in just ten to fifteen minutes and we could have such a nice
present.
(5)In what way would you like to try to make your presentation next time even better than this one?
I want to use the way that catches the audiences' attention easily and more vivid actions to present our story.
student ID: 98540329
(1)How did your group present the big picture book? Acting out? Reading together?
ReplyDeleteActing out. I am very happy that I can perform with them. Everybody has roles who he acts.For example I act a ox,and the team member acts other animals.It is really interesting to perform with group member and interact to audience.
(2) Did the filming make you feel nervous?
This is my first time to act in a play, I feel very excited. I feel nervous certainly, but I am so exciting relative to nervous. Perhaps I have talent for acting in a play.
(3) Did the audience respond to your presentation?
Maybe have, I am not very clear either. I am attentive on my performance. But there are some loudly shriek, haha.
(4) How did your presentation go?
Do my best to perform, this is the best repayment to audience's.
(5)In what way would you like to try to make your presentation next time even better than this one?
I believe I can do it better, because it was a little suddenly at this time. There was not enough time that I could prepare. And the key of performance is to face the audience all the time, but I always look at teammates and no seeing to the audience. I feel sorry about the audience. So I will prepare harder more next time.
From 潘世棋 Jonny, student ID 95360326
(1)How did your group present the big picture book? Acting out? Reading together?
ReplyDeleteWe presented the big picture book through both acting it out and reading it together. We performed the characters and imitated their traits such as the rabbit’s hopping, the sheep’s bleating and so on.
(2) Did the filming make you feel nervous?
Indeed it made me feel extremely nervous because I had to perform in front of so many classmates and I was afraid that I can’t make it due to my shyness. Besides, I usually had a stage fright; that is, once I was on the stage I would feel uncomfortable and keep sweating.
(3) Did the audience respond to your presentation?
Well, at first we thought that our classmates might have so reaction with us; however, we were wrong that they didn’t comprehend those things which we tried hard to convey; thus, they didn’t respond to our presentation which made me feel a little bit disappointed.
(4) How did your presentation go?
Once getting the big picture book, we started to discuss what characters should one present with our group members. Then, we read through the story together to understand the whole story and began to imitate their traits. What’s more, we rehearsed it outside the classroom for several times and then it was our show time.
(5)In what way would you like to try to make your presentation next time even better than this one?
We should alter our intonation which made the performance more attractive. Also, I think that I should get rid of my shyness or I can never do better because active movements can attract everyone.
(1.)How did your group present the big picture book? Acting out? Reading together?
ReplyDeleteInstead of acting out and reading together, our group members decided to take turns to be the storyteller. When one of us is telling the story, the rest members become students and sit on the ground. Because after the discussion, our team wanted to show the interaction between the teacher and children. While telling the story, children may have some questions or reactions, then teacher need to discuss or answer their questions. So the presentation of our group is telling the story and interacting with children at the same time.
(2.) Did the filming make you feel nervous?
Definitely "YES"!! I am not familiar with talking in front of all the class, and especially filming at the same time. Before went up to the stage, I thought there must have some butterflies in my stomach. However, when I was reading the story on the stage, I did not feel nervous any more. I think at that time I was so focus on telling the story that I forget the nervous feelings. I think this presentation give me a whole new experience, maybe next time I will not feel nervous.
(3.) Did the audience respond to your presentation?
I think the audience had some respond to our presentation. Although they were not directly talk or discuss with us; however, when something funny happened, they all use laugh as the respond. And at the end, the audience also give applause to us.
(4.) How did your presentation go?
I think our group's presentation is good. Because we came up with the way of our performance in a very short time. And most of us did not have the experience of presenting a big picture book before. Although there were some mistakes; however, as the first time I think all our group members did well.
(5.)In what way would you like to try to make your presentation next time even better than this one?
To do better next time, I think we can speak louder and pronounce every word more clearly. Because I found that the audience can not see the picture book clearly, the only way for them to know the story is use their ears to listen. So I think it is important to speak louder and have clear pronouncing. Futhermore, we can act more exaggerated to draw all the audience's attention, and also have more practice or rehearsal to familiar with the whole situation and stage.

1.How did your group present the big picture book? Acting out? Reading together?
ReplyDeleteOur group present the show with one person acting out and four narrators. The story is basically talking about one very hungry caterpillar. Aaron acted out as that hungry caterpillar while the rest of us play the role of narrator.
2. Did the filming make you feel nervous?
A little bit! I was nervous because everybody was so quiet.
3. Did the audience respond to your presentation?
Yes, they did. They laughed when the narrators’ tone changed and when Aaron acted something funny.
4. How did your presentation go?
I think our presentation was not bad. Aaron tried his best to act in a exaggerate way, and we narrators tried to speak out loud and speak with emotions.
5. In what way would you like to try to make your presentation next time even better than this one?
I want to add some music into the play. For example, I will add some insects’ singing into the story to make the story more vivid.
(1)How did your group present the big picture book? Acting out? Reading together?
ReplyDeleteOur group chose to preform this story. There was one narrator that give us the main idea of every page. The other group members just to show this story up.
(2)Did the filming make you feel nervous?
Yes, but not really. I felt a little neverous at first. After started performing this presentation, I tried to focus on my performance and making our audience understanded what we were playing.
(3)Did the audience respond to your presentation?
Yes we did. There were lot of audience laughed during our performance. So I thought that we had grabbed their attention and responce.
(4)How did your presentation go?
I considered that our group did well on the presentation. we caught our audience's eyes. Most important of all, we delivered the story of the picture book to the audience.
(5)In what way would you like to try to make your presentation next time even better than this one?
I will have more practice on our performance. It's make our group more proficient in the interpretation of this story.
I think we present it really fun and well, but it's a little bit messy. Those actresses are acting freely and it's getting a little bit wide... And the filming makes me a little little bit nervous at the biginning but later we all go crazy! The audience can't help but focus on us because our exaggerating acting way and the funny expressions and voices. I did quite well! I take the role of the narrator and to be frank it's quite hard to follow the plot because the actresses act freely so it turns out that I have to follow their plot! I think the most important thing is to memorize the story well and to dicuss many times so we and do the presentation smoothly and clear.

ReplyDeleteWe presented this story by acting in a funny way. We use funny actions to attract the audience's attention.

I think our group really did a great job. Everybody didn't care about others but just act theirselves out. I really enjoy being in this group!!
(5)In what way would you like to try to make your presentation next time even better than this one?
I think that we need to plan our movements more clearly so that the audience can know what we are really doing when they see our acting. Furthermore, I think we can increase our speaking skills and the tone when we are speaking to make the play more abundant!!
