Creative/Critical Thinking

. .. ..This week we had gone canoeing at Deer Lake. Overall it was okay, I would have liked the walk around the lake but, we were told that we would only be walking a bit then we would go back, if i knew that i wouldn’t have worn the shoes i usually wear because they’re skater shoes and I felt all of the small rocks under my feet and it just, wasn’t nice, it’s like walking bare feet on the gravel, and don’t get me started on small pointy rocks. The canoeing part wasn’t the best but certainly better than the walk, the part that was most annoying is that when I was in the back saying the orders my partner wasn’t following them and got distracted and stopped rowing at the sight of a feather. a feather, there had been so many other feathers, how did she not notice them? I liked eating my lunch in a car though, that was fun, and eating a crepe. But it was an okay experience. I’m not sure if I’ll ever want to do it again but, I’m glad i tried it.

(There were no photos of me, I was always in the corner or cut out ō-ō)

…..YAP was a very enjoyable experience, I loved it, I am almost certain that everyone loved YAP. On the first day we used props and couldn’t talk, our peers had to guess what we were pretending it was, i got a bone and pretended it was a bow tie. After that we were split into groups and got card and had to walk on it, like; hot sand, jumping on rocks, and electric floor. Finally we were got into groups of four and were given a card they had lines for person A,B,C,and D i got person A for a group with these lines; A: What is that B: I don’t know, i just found it here. C: What does it do? D: Lets try it out! I was person A and was killed by Stella (person D). I wasn’t here for the second day all I know is that they were doing masks. For the third day we did improv (improvisation), I did a short skit with Marcus, the skit was; I was selling a car and Marcus wanted to buy it but he thought the price was too high and had to think of ways for me to lower the price, I had to thing of why he should buy it for the price that i had given. Improvising is a good skill to have if you do and acting because if you forget the script you can’t say “DANG IT!! i forgot the script!!” on stage, you’d need to improvise what to say, next we were split into groups of two and we were giving non-existent gifts and the other person had to say what it was (the gift receiver), we continued giving non-existent gifts until Director Mike gave us something new. The new thing we did was a story where our word starting every sentence were “yes, and” our first starting sentence was ” Do you remember when we went to the beach?” the second starting sentence was “Do you remember when we found $10B in my backpack?” . Once we finished that we did skits and were in groups. the first one was about kids in a class who ask questions so the audience can guess their personalities. the next one was a bus stop and everyone got a personality to act (like the last one) Yes Ms. Carley it’s not done because you just told us to publish
