November 28, 2013-Partner Activity and Dodgeball

On November 28, 2013, both band classes participated in a partner activity, which I thought was pretty fun because it allowed us to use our imaginations and be creative instead of being told what to do. Before we started, Mr. Neufeld told us that this course is about making the class the best for everyone. You obviously still need to work hard in class, but you have to look at the "bigger picture" by contributing to make a fun class. If everyone contributes a little bit, the class would be really enjoyable. So when we did the partner activity, I made the class fun to be in by smiling and laughing a lot, and on top of that I tried my best. Since this was a partner activity, I made sure that I tried even harder because I wanted to make sure my partner had a good time in the class as well.  If you don't try or participate, the class won't be fun. When we did an activity, I put all  my effort in to make sure my partner would find the class to be enjoyable too. The other activity was dodgeball. When we first started playing, I was a little reluctant however after a few minutes passed, I got more in to the game and started to move more toward the front because if you stay in the back, it's not fun for anyone and you will never get tagged that way so there is no point of even playing the game. In the beginning of the game, the question passed  my mind "How will I make this class fun" and then I realized that I should move more in the front and throw more balls. So that's what I did and in my opinion I think I made a difference to the class.  In this gym class I think I showed a lot of positivity. I showed even more positivity than other gym classes because I got to hang out and bond with more people from the other band class too. Overall, I enjoyed both activities and I hope to do something similar to it in the future.
