1. Positive Statement
The thing that I'm most proud of is that a lot of people actually enjoyed my presentation and the activity was engaging. I was most proud of this because I really wanted my presentation to be engaging so people won't get bored and sleep. It was heavily activity based.
2.Questions to Consider
a. I would give myself a P+ on my Block Presentation
b. I would give myself a solid P on my overall senior project
3. What worked for me in senior project was that I actually found a mentor and I was surprised to find a decent amount of sources. Dancing is a pretty hard topic to find research on.
4. What didn't work was my 10 minute presentation because I had so much to say for so little time. The exit interviews also didn't work for me because it was a bit difficult to get your message across about dance.
5. Finding Value
This senior project has helped me in future endeavors by preparing me to be confident in what I'm going to talk about. In order to get more attention, I need to find a way to energize my presentations. An example would be that when I was presenting, I really enjoyed my topic and showed energy, thus causing the audience to enjoy it as well. The concept of showing energy also applies to my senior project topic. Overall, I feel like I've gotten better as a presenter.

Mentorship

Interpretive:
The most important thing I've gained from this experience is relating what you've learned and researched to real-life situations. My EQ is more of "How to" question rather than a "What is" question. During research and mentorship, I got good information for my EQ, and I got actual observations on how my mentor does her tasks. After reflecting on what I've learned and what I've experienced, I've applied them in finding answers for my EQ.
Applied:
Shadowing dances have been really helpful to me in finding answers to my EQ. I even took a few classes. As I was shadowing the classes, I was able to see which moves complemented the song and which moves looked a bit odd. Not only that, I got to see different teaching methods and how it worked and how it didn't work, affecting how far into the song the dancers progressed. Taking classes helped me see things in a dancer's perspective. Some dancers can pick up choreography quite quickly while others can't, thus taking the difficulty of the dance routine in mind.
