One Saturday morning, in the waning weeks of the 8th grade, I walked into a local museum with a handful of classmates and our history teacher. In our arms, we carried large cardboard displays, and in our minds, naive hopes alongside cynical expectations. Entering the main hall, we awkwardly shuffled through crowds of students and rows of tables until we found our designated spots. I found my name printed on a card and I placed my project behind it, in between two others. After ensuring my tri-fold

In most ancient civilisations, dance was an important component in temple rites. In ancient Egypt, priest and priestesses would perform stately movements mimicking significant events that had occurred, such as war and famine. Bangarra Dance Theatre’s 2008 original production of Mathinna evokes the calamity, confusion and prejudice experienced by the members of the Stolen Generation.

Made to stick is a book written by Chip Heath and Dan Heath about why some ideas survive and others die. The book identifies six main elements that every great idea contains. Those six key traits are put into a small acronym “SUCCES”. Its letters represent the key elements of simple, unexpected, concrete, credible, emotion, and story.

This is the part that you do not expect the performers to blow up their bags with air. One person starts, then another. The ending was something I was expecting that would happen but was unsure if it would

The purpose of my pre-conference with Mrs. Andruska was to establish a rapport with her, to learn about her teaching style, procedures, and upcoming lesson, and to collaboratively set a goal for the lesson I would be observing. When asking my first questions to Mrs. Andruska in our pre-conference, it became clear that she prides herself on providing highly effective instruction for all of her students.

It started when a few acquaintances and friends started clapping and cheering. Suddenly, the entire lunchroom erupted with clapping. I was laughing and dying on the ground, well not literally. I was highly embarrassed as I was expecting it to just between Emma and I. One question rose to my mind. Why were people clapping? Emma and I both looked at each other with a questionable look. It wouldn’t be long before people started swarming closer

in “Ompeh” is a repeated rhythm that plays out through the song whereas Western music is built upon a tension and release method. The rhythms of the song are repeated throughout its entirety incorporating a drum beat, perhaps a cymbal, and people clapping.
