16th November
All groups had an individual target for the lesson:

- Group 1: Verbal abuse - will have structered a scene and have something to show at the end of the lesson.

- Group 2: Cyberbullying - have a a scene blocked and ready to show

- Group 3: Paranoia - to make there blocked scene more fluent and to make it a bit longer

- Group 4: Physical abuse - block / coreograph a scene

- Group 5: Exclusion - 'crack' - choose music and to format the piece

My group managed to meet there target by the end of the lesson. We took all of our ideas and started to coreograph each others movements. We decided to make our scene quite sharp and shocking to get the audiences grasped. We wanted to put across the seriousness of bullying so to make our scene quite graphic and to make the mood quite uncomfortable, this would shock the audience and i think, put across the effect bullying can have on a victim.
With April absent we weren't able to show our scene to the rest of the group but we watched groups one and three and gave positive critisism and feedback on how they could improve:

Group 1:
- humour - do they want to portray humour in an anti-bullying assembly?
- they should add more people into there 'gang' to make the whitty comments he makes more effective and to make them more intimidating to the victim
- create more of a reaction to the comments being made at the victim
- create a vocal collage of comments?

Group 3:  
- The climax was really good - the way the tension was built up so high and then a scream brought it crashing down
- the vocal collage worked well, although they need to make the scene longer and maybe add more of a variety to the vocal collage being as at times it fell flat.
