Reflection Creative Cycle : Investigation

Phew..what a very tiring and fun semester! Today I felt very happy and amazing, Why? It was the D-day of our performance! YAY! Overall I think we did a very VERY good job in performing. Oh yeah! My favourite part of the performance was the "Superstition" song, it was all groovy and up beat that cheers you up when you feel down and all.

Aww, it is almost the end of the semester and that means it is almost the end of our PVA class this semester :(  (I'm actually pouting right now) I had a lot of fun during our PVA class, it was chill out and we joked around a lot (?) but yeah it was a very fun time. Now it is time to do some reflection, did is a must do in everything we have done especially when you went through a lot of steps and process.

For our PVA class we use a process called the "Creative Cycle" (previously called the Design Cycle) where there are:

• Investigate/Investigation
• Design
• Plan
• Create
• Evaluate/Evaluation

Firstly I'm going to recap and evaluate about things that I had done for this step of the process, it is because it was the very first step that we need to went through to be able to create the "product".
In the Investigation stage we did:

• Identifying the problem or the main idea
• Brainstorming Ideas
• Get to know each others Talents, Strength, Type of Genre, Instruments they played, etc.

This first stage took us a lot of time almost the entire term 1 it is because they were lots of ideas that we wanted to do for the Class band all of the ideas that were suggested are very creative and brilliant, some were unexpected too!

Yes, it took us a every long time because it was very hard for us to picked the top 5 ideas from the many ideas suggested and sometimes we hesitated in making/picking some decisions. The good thing is that we have a very good teamwork and somehow could decide the top ideas without anyone opposing to the decisions. As time goes by our skills in identifying, brainstorming, and also teamwork or the bond we have as a team started to grow better and better.

Our overall performance and anticipation in this process/stage was good and excellent for some people (hehe). If we had another to chance to improved, I suggest that we:

• Be more focus
• Think Outside The Box (Haha)
• Be more confident in voicing out our own ideas and suggestion
• Manage our time well

And for my self evaluation, things that i should improve are:

• To be more active in class discussion
• Voice out my opinions and ideas more
• Do more research
• Be more confident
