Lesson 1/2: Media/ Drama
Today was my first lesson of media today, I didn't really have any expectations but i thought that it could have been a bit more interesting. As we got into the classroom we took our preferred seats and Mrs.Grieg gave us our instructions, which were to do a PowerPoint Presentation on photography and research as much as we can. So far in my PowerPoint Presentation i researched the history of Photography e.g When was the first Camera made, Who made it, what did the first camera look like e.t.c. The reason why i found it a bit boring was because for all the lessons Ive done in my creative and media so far we have been doing PowerPoint Presentations, though i know lessons aren't all about having fun. I found when i looked around that a few of my peers were doing very well especially Ilenia, i found that when i was on my 3rd slide she was on a mission with around 5 slides. As lesson two drama came along Mrs.Williams was very generous enough to let us do some more work on our PowerPoint Presentation for Media.

Lesson 3/4: Drama

I think personally that in Drama even though we didn't do much it was actually quite fun. In the lesson Mrs. Williams talked about what we will be doing in the future with our winter project, and she introduced 6 different plays that me and the class would pick from that we will preform after Christmas in a panto, to a variety of Schools. Our options for what we wanted to pick were..
1. Cinderella
2. Ali Baba
3.Snow White
4. Mother Goose
5. Dick Whittington
6. Jack and the bean stalk

After coming to a final decision everyone decided we was going to preform Ali Baba, and we decided what parts we would like to play, and i decided i would like to play the part of Mustafa which is Aswin's right hand man. We got handed out our script for the play and went through some of it until the end of class.
