Reflections 4/6/11

Today was very successful! My group finished the filming of our movie. We are now going to start the editing process. Editing is going to take a few days so we might have to edit some after school. I almost finished revising the feedback that my experts gave me. I have a few more things on that list that I need to complete. I also need someone else to proofread it before tomorrow and before I have my presentation workshop. Overall I would give myself a 10 out of 10 for productiveness today. I feel like I completed what I needed to.

Daily Goals 4/6/11

Today my group has to finish the remainder of our filming. We are going to finish filming the boy part and we are going to start filming the girl part. Kylie is a great actress and McKenzie and Alyssa are great co-directors. We are really excited for this project and are expecting it to be great. Today I also need to finish my first project which was on music from the previous PBL cycle. I have gotten expert reviews and I need to put the finishing touches. I also need to plan my presentation.

Reflections 4/4/11

Today has been a very productive day! My group finished about half of our filming. I would give us a 10 out of 10 for productiveness today. We are probably going to have to spend some extra days filming after school to complete our project. I am feeling very comfortable that we are going to finish our project on time.

Daily Goals 4/4/11

Today my group has one main goal: BEGIN FILMING! We have finished out script and we are ready to start filming now. I have collected all of the props that we need and I am getting ready to go over the script with Kylie. I think today is going to be a very productive day. I have a good feeling that we are going to get a lot done. I also hope to communicate effectively with my  partners also.

Daily Goals 3/30/11

Hello everyone! My group is getting really excited for our project today.  I think that our goals on Monday were a little far fetched.  Today we are planning more reasonable goals that will better support our project.  So far we are on the ball for this round of PBL projects.  I really think that our short film is going to be great.  Here are the goals for today:

• Finish script
• Decide what props we need
• Lay out the scenes
• Communicate with my partners effectively 
• Teach Kylie how to play the ukulele for our short film 

Reflections 3/28/11

I think that I was very diligent in completing my daily goals. I would give myself about an eight for today. I would give myself an eight because I did not finish the script for the movie. But in place of finishing the script, my partners and I worked on the costuming which is another important factor for this movie. I feel that we are on pace so far. I also feel that we are going to have an excellent project.

Daily Goals 1/28/2011

I am super excited for this round of projects! The whole school is doing a group project this time and our essential question is "What is Creativity?" The students have broken into smaller groups and are completing projects using sub essential questions. I am in a group with Kylie and Alyssa. Our sub essential question is, "How can we successfully write, film, edit, and produce a one-woman short romantic comedy." Right now we are finishing our project planning form. My daily goals for today are:

• Complete project planning form
• Successfully collaborate with my partners
• Get the outline for our film
• Finish the script
• Be prepared for Wednesday PBL
• Hopefully be ready to film on Wednesday
