My UWCSEA Learning Journey

Starts Here

Experience with puppet #1

In our previous lesson, we made our own paper puppet and thought of how we can move it realistically. In class, we learned how to make the puppet look breath, move like it is living and how we can make it easy for the audience to understand the story.

  • From the aspect of story telling, puppet is really useful because by using puppet in a right way, it makes the audience like they are looking the actual animal or person. In Lion King, a puppet of  Zazoo is used. It has a lot of  things that we can do with it such as moving the mouth and eyes. This is used because it is difficult for human to act animals in an actual show and it is really clear for the audience to understand the story.
  • From the aspect of emotion, it is actually difficult to express the character’s emotion. But by their  movement, emotions can be expressed. For example, when the character is sad you can make them look down to show that they are depressed.
  • From the aspect of manipulation, it is very important because if they did not use it well, the audience can not concentrate on the story and look at the human controlling them. In Lion King, there are motors in Scar’s helmet. It moves up, down, front and back to make him look scary in some scenes for example when Scar is trying tho frighten Sinba, he puts his helmet down so that it looks like we are looking at the puppet not the actor that is acting the character.

SDGs presentation reflection

What was the task?

Our task was to give a presentation about a goal that you are assigned and to persuade others that the goal is the most important one in all 17 sustainable development goals and so we can get the most fund from the listeners.

How did you prepare for it?

I started preparing for this presentation by researching the United Nation Developing program official website. I went to the kids information booklet to get the main idea of SDG number 17 and went to detailed information page to get more detailed facts, quotes and statistics about the partnership for the goal. Also I discussed this topic with my mom to get the more information that I did not know. I brainstormed what to present and made notes and thought about the effective structure. After finish drafting my presentation, I tried to shorten the presentation so that it will fit in 2 minutes. I practiced in front of my family and also by my self in my room.

reflection on verbal presentation skills

I think I made more eye contacts with the audiences than the previous presentation. My voice was loud enough for everyone to hear but it was not clear in some point and also, it was too fast so I should work on the speed next time I present.

reflection on the content

My presentation had introduction, body  and conclusion/summary clearly, interconnections to not only SDG number 17 but also other goals and also I did not go off track and sticked to my topic. However, I could have shared more persuasive facts or statistics.
