RI work, marking work and Puppetry work

Tuesday 1st October:
Today we handed in our first draft of the RI. I was happy with mine but I knew there was a lot of work to be done on it. I was curious to get my marks back and also worried to know the amount of work that I will have to do on it to get better grade. I also feel motivated to do the work I need to get a better mark! We then started to go through our RI's to know the do's and dont's which is helpful because it was quick advice that would help us to get those little marks. Also something we could always go back on.

Thursday 3rd October:
Today we worked on marking other example RI's. This was good to help us understand the markscheme. The first one we marked was very bad and we all knew why, but it was good to discuss afterwards how and why it was so bad but how to make it better. We understand the easy marks that were missed
The second example, we thought it was AMAZING but we were very wrong. We thought that it was worth a 6 or 7 but it was actually just worth a 4-5. This shocked us because it made us realise what we have to do to reach those top marks. This was the most helpful example because it helped me to understand the points that were missed that I thought was fine and good. We had one more to mark for homework.

Friday 4th October:
Today we had a 2 hour session of practical work. We did many exercises involving working together, movement, puppets...
Our first exercise was movement like cars. One person was blindfolded and had to trust another person to guide them round with just simple directions of a push and touch on the left or right shoulder or a tap on the head for stop. I was with Abby and first I guided her round. She seemed to trust me very well and I thought it would be an easy task for me but harder for her. I felt like there was a lot of responsibility when pushing Abby round because she had to listen to me and I had to be very clear with my instructions otherwise it would go wrong. I was telling her an instruction once and she didn't hear me and ended up walking into Axel and I felt so bad because I felt like it was my fault.
I then was being guided round by Abby. At the beginning I felt really nervous about bumping into things but not being I didn't trust Abby, it was because I was worried I wouldn't hear her and I would get the instruction wrong.  Mr Fearnehough tried to put obstecles infront of us. My reaction to this was weird because it didn't make me nervous, I literally couldn't hear the noises around me, i just blocked them out and focused on abby's instructions.
