2. Payphone (non-rap version)
3. Overexposed, June 26 2012
4. Adam Levine (singer), Jesse Carmichael (keyboardist), Mickey Madden (bass guitar), and James Valentine.
5. Its a fast tempo and the mood is romantic.
6. The subject it romance and the idea is that the girl didn't appreciate the boy and so now he is kind of mad at her.
7. Yes, completely.
8. Intro- There is no introduction the song starts with the chorus
   Verse - the verse starts at 0:18, it starts with "I know it's hard to remember...." also in 1:28 with "You turn your back on tomorrow...
   Bridge - the bridge starts at 0:36, 1:46 with "I've wasted my nights..."

   Middle 8 - the middle 8 begins at 2:36 with " Now baby don't hang up..."
9. There isn't a riff in this song
10. The hook is "I'm at a payphone" it appears 6 time sin the song.
11. Yes, because it is very catchy and after you hear it once you know almost all the lyrics.
12. Yes because it makes sense and the lyrics are understandable, but with the rap it isn't very good, in my opinion it doesn't make sense with the song. 
13. This song was a very big hit, it came second on the US billboard, and the music video had 58,162,899 views.

   14 and 15.The hook is very catchy and the song isn't a very electronically (that makes you want to kill yourself). I would recommended to other because it is very nice to listen to and some people might be able to connect with it.

Here is a link to the song (version without Wiz Khalifa)

Best Band

In my oppinion the best rock band that ever existed was Queen because they have great songs and a variety of styles like "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" which is rock 'like' or "Love of My Life" which is a slow song and romantic. Also because Freddie Mercury is very famous and he rocks!
Bohemian Rhapsody

1st lesson of Music                                                                                              8/11/2011

In our previous music lesson we learned how to play do-re-mi-fa-sol-la-si-do on the piano. We also learned how to play "Frere Jacques" (Brother John) on the piano. Then we watched a video of Koji Kondo, the man who composed the Mario Bros. theme song and many other theme songs. We didn't get any home work.

In our previous lesson of drama on the 31st of October we started our reflections about Drama. Now our Home work is to finish the reflection, i organized my reflection as a big mind map about what i learned, my performances, what i enjoyed most, key words, nad more contents. Next Monday i will have to turn in the home work to Miss Hurst.

In our last lesson we had to create a scene using mostly body language, hand signals, demostrating emotion with face, levels ( high or low) to show or status. We had to chose from victim and loser or winner and loser, or rich and poor. In our group we chose bully and victim, I was the bully that was bullying Nana. What went well was that we had good body language so you could see from our body and also our faces who was who. Even better if  we had used more hand signals and if what we had said could have been better.

The Fourth Wall
The fourth wall is the imaginary wall for actors in the front of the stage. The fourth wall makes the play more realistic, so when you have to look at a mirror or something else you can look at it to the fourth wall and it looks like a real wall. When you "break" the fourth wall you start speaking to the audience by breaking that wall and interacting with the audience.
We applied this to our drama lesson when we were doing our short exam hall scenes by talking to our audience and expressing our personality
Reflection on Scene
In our short scene we were in a exam hall doing an exam and there were 4 characters; the teacher, the nervous student, the sleepy student, and the arrogant student. I think that our scene was good because you could clearly see each personality of the three students. I was the arrogant student and the technique I used was that i imagined myself as a really arrogant person and mean person.
Although it was good it could still be better if we were more confident we can develop that by practicing various times in front of a stage.
Also our group could have developed more facial expressions, gestures, and emotions to make it even more clearer to the audience how we react to things with each different personality, the way to make that better is by getting together and discuss with each other how we are going to express our personality.
Our sentences could have been better and more detailed and with more enthusiasm, we could have done that by also discussing with each other our ideas and then picking the one that was more suitable for that personality.

Lesson 2 Drama                                                                                                               25/09/2011
In our last lesson we learned how to act with just gestures and no voice. After we had to create a scene that we were in an exam hall and had to act out our personalities with out speaking. Then we had to "break" the fourth wall and talk to the audience one or two sentences. It was interesting because I learned a lot of techniques on how to act out my personality or how i am feeling and being realistic like repeating a sentence over and over my head.
