Drama
This is when Miss Ayers read us a story called Maui and the fish and after we recreated some of the seances from the book.
In this scene my group is doing the first one from the book of when the four brothers went out to sea and Maui was hiding in the bottom of the waka
1. I think that our group worked quite well with our levels.
2. If I did this again I would think our group could work on keeping focus.
3.We did well with the levels because we have people standing some sitting and someone laying on the ground.
4.After we understood where we had to go for our next tableaw transitions it was much easier but sometimes we did have a bump into each other.
