Drama
For 2 periods of drama, we have been learning how to make little play using some tik tok in groups we didn't have to use the whole dance we could just use one move. At first, my group didn't know what to do but later on, we find out what to do, for our play I played as a bull, and I had to chase someone because they had walked into the wrong Penn. While I was chasing her there were two people outside of the Penn looking inside and laughing at the girl that was getting chased by the bull but later on I got shot of stage so that's the whole play. The way we used tik tok moves in this play was the two people outside do tik tok dances while laughing and before the girl walked into the Penn she cleaned her shoes it's a tik tok dance.

It was established with the U.S approval and Manuel Quezon was elected the first president of the Philippine then in 1946 July 4 is when full independence was granted for the republic of the Philippine by the United States. Independence day happens every June 12 every year, they do it on this date because on that date was when the Philippines was declaring the Philippines independence day and they call it Araw ng kasarinlán also known as the day of freedom.

Research Work (Stan Walker)
I wanted to do the research work instead of the performance work because I can't play an instrument at all and I don't think I can learn an instrument in a few days even just to play a few chords. I choose to research Stan Walker because when I looked at the list of the artist in NZ the only person I recognized was Stan Walker so I just choose Stan Walker. Something interesting I found out about Stan Walker was that he has been to 3 high schools well growing up. I am happy with my project because usually, people would do a lot of slides but instead, I just made 2 slides 1 with information about Stan Walker and the other full of pictures of Stan Walker. This semester I enjoyed trying to learn how to play an instrument and playing around with different types of instruments too I would've really like to learn how to play the drums but 3 people already choose to learn how to do the drums. Only 2 to 3 people can learn how to play the drums because there is only 1 set of drums so I left it to learn how to play the guitar but I didn't get enough time because lockdown and when it was over I couldn't be bothered to continue learning how to play the guitar.
