Poem Reflection

Stage 1: The event itself

Blog assignment for week 5 was to pick a poem from a list them recite it using a steady beat then recite it using "ti-ti and Ta's" in place of the words.

Stage 2: What happened

I chose the poem, "Fishy-Fishy" and first wrote out what I felt would be the "Ti-Ti's and Ta's". I was unsure if i was doing it correctly so I emailed Chris to get a better grasp on what I was doing before I did the video. It took me about three tries to get the video right. The upload took me a couple tries because it was not downloading properly.

Stage 3: Review

Overall, I did very well with this assignment. My video was on point with Chris in breaking down the video in "ti's and ta's".
I feel that I do need some improvement on fully understanding how to replace the words with "ti's and ta's" because I did need some clarification from Chris in the beginning.

Stage 3: Peer observation

After viewing some of my peer videos, I was relieved to see that I had did my video correctly. Also by reading the comments I felt reassured that I was not the only one that might of had some issues converting to the "ti's and ta's".

After this past assignment I realize how important visual aids are. I am glad that I took the time to write out my poem and the "ti's and ta's" with it. It helped me to get a better grasp on the concept of going from one to the other.
