Describe the work you completed on your project during this work time. Mrs. Reeder and I brainstormed some ideas on what song I should create the routine too, and what software I should use to create the routine.
What challenges/barriers/problems did you encounter as you were working? The choice of song definitely had to be the hardest. We have a couple of choices now. Skyfall, Free Ride, Spiderman, or Hunger Games.
How did you overcome any problems during this work time?
We talked it through, and decided that we would talk again because I still need her to get the mentor sheet filled out for her.

Describe the work you completed on your project during this work time.
During my work hours there will be a lot of class participation. Today we polled the class and got some ideas on what the class would like. They vote High School Musical, but during class it was changed to Decades: 80’s, 90’s, 00’s, 10’s. We will choose one song from each decade, and I will choose one of those four for the final song for my project.
What challenges/barriers/problems did you encounter as you were working?
A majority of the class voted High School Musical, but since Mrs. Reeder will not be here to teach the new music we decided too take four songs from our pep band folder. This will make it easier to transform for Band Fest.
How did you overcome any problems during this work time?
We talked through it, and finally came up with the best rational answer.
How much time did you spend on your project during this work time?
1 hour in class; 1/2 hour talking to Mrs. Reeder after class.
How much total time have you spent working on your project (including this work time)?
2 1/2 hours.
