90% Eeeeh!!

My Presentation

It's been a while since I last used blogger, but anway. I did my presentation a couple of days ago and I think it went really well!!! I spoke in a loud, clear voice, and nothing glitched/messed up. The lighting of the projector wasn't the greatest, so the video made my skin look dark and weird, but whatever. I hope I get a good mark on it!!!

When I get the mark on my report card, I will update you guys.

Thanks.

I'm Done!

Yes!!! I am so happy right now because I finally, finally finished my project. i just finished putting the references onto the powerpoint and editing spelling, grammar, etc. The video is also posted on this blog. It is the one I will be showing to the class.

I am really glad that I finished this on time, because in exactly ten minutes I am being picked up to go to my ballet dress rehearsal. Thanks for reading my blog and following me as I work on my project! I hope I get a good mark!!

Thanks again.

Another Update

Right now I am waiting for some webpage to load. I am finishing up my powerpoint and my references. I have all my references now! Ten websites and five books.

These are the new ones.

Garfunkel, T. (1994). On Wings of Joy. Canada: Little, Brown and Company Limited.

Kaminsky, A. (2010, May 4). What are Pointe Shoes?. Retrieved May 17, 2010, from http://www.wisegeek.com/what-are-pointe-shoes.htm

Watkins, A., & Clarkson, P. M. (1990). Dancing Longer Dancing Stronger. Pennington: Princeton Book Company.

That's all for now.

This is a video my ballet teacher recorded of me dancing. Just so that you get an idea of what ballet is. I'm not very good in it.....

Work Update

Just an update on how my project is going so far. Last night, I had dance, and right before the class started I asked my teacher to record me. Then I went home and put the video on my memory stick. I was really worried that the video wouldn't work on a mac, because my computer at home is a PC, but I tried it out just now and it does work!!! Whew. So now half my project is done, the video. I am now working on my powerpoint and I have done about 4 slides so far.

Another update soon to come.

More Information

I didn't put this information in my summary paper, but after Catherine de Medicis introduced France to ballet, Louis XIV established the first ballet school: l'Académie Royale de Danse. At first, ballets were inspired by the Greeks. In the 19th century, audiences began to favour more romantic ballets. The first romantic ballet was "La Sylphide."
