Drama
As for drama in quarter 1, this is actually my first time having drama class so I don't actually know what it is actually about. We have been learning a lot of stuff in drama. The first lesson was about the stage directions. The stage directions covers the parts of the stage. However, the work sample which I will be displaying is not related to the stage directions. It is one of the 5 daily journals that we were assigned to create. The big assignment in drama was to create a character which we will have to make a monologue of. We also had to create 5 journals about given topics. I am selecting journal number 2 which is about a "Loss Item"

Daily Journal 2: 15th September 2011
Dear Journal,
It has been months since I joined the Boston Silver Knights, a local team from Boston. I have been giving the team a good reputation, the standings for the Silver Knights have been raised. The Silver Knights is the 7th best basketball club all over Boston. The first, is the well known Boston Celtics. Right now, I am the point guard of the Silver Knights, my job is to dribble the ball as the leader while the others find a open position. My next match will be next week againts the Washington Black Hawks, if we win againts them our standings will be raised to the 3rd in Boston. I have been hearing that the team has high hopes for me and I am really excited. This really gave a boost towards me and made me really excited.
Well this entry is exactly right after the match againts Black Hawks. In the end, we loss the match 90 to 94. I believe the whole team is blaming it all on me. The morning where the match was held, I woke up really late and had to rush. I packed up everything, ate plain berad, brushed my teeth and went to the meeting point. As soon I got to the airport, I met my team and we headed straight to Washington. It was when I got to the plane when I realized I lost something, my basketball shoes.
I started to panic, it was seriously a vital item for me. I had no idea if it was stolen, or I forgot about it at home. As soon as I realized that my shoes were loss, I had a short scream. Something like “Nooo!” Then I physically to panic and told my team. My team also panicked but we couldn’t afford to waste time finding my shoes. This was a vital game and I couldn’t play because of my shoes. I asked the coach what to do, he answered wisely “This is a good lesson for you Jason. You are benched until the end of the match, I am really disappointed though, a 22 year old guy like you losing stuff.” I was crushed, mentally crushed. I was really disappointed and sad because this is a very important game. In the end we lost. I grieved and wanted to forget about what had happened today.
After the match, I apologized to the whole team for not being able to play. Next I went home and ate dinner. I ordered some pizza because pizza is one of my favorite and I was really sad which is why I needed something delicious to eat. Even though pizza is a delicious food and is very tasty, the incident today defected the taste and I am still sad. I watched videos of Michael Jordan, one of the greatest basketball players to cheer me up but it still didn’t help me much. Then I received a call from from one of my teammate, Grady. Actually the call was from three people total who were my friends from the basketball team which were Geral, Jeremy and Grady himself. They told “Jason, you don’t need to worry about today. There are other matches we can play. Cheer up!” I gladly thank them for their concern and once again apologized because of today’s loss. But the call cheered me up and I can go sleep. Today, I have loss more then my shoes, I have loss trust from the team and a basketball match. But my friends help me rebuild my strength and now I can continue to have peace in life.

Reflection
Since this is the first time I am having drama class, I don't have any comparisons to know if I have done a great job or not. Especially knowing that I have not received the scores from the journals. However I do have a feeling I have done well in drama class. In the stage directions quiz, I received a 7/8 score which is really good because this is the first time for me having drama. Also I never had a homework assignment late which is also great. The only thing I should be improving in drama is my attitude because I like to talk a lot. If I reduce the amount of talking I would have been able to get better marks. During this journal project, I was told that I did not have much expressions or phrases that expressed feelings. So next time, I will be sure to have that.
The IB learner profile which I learn from this assignment would be being a thinker and a knowledgeable person because I had to think carefully regarding what to write in the journal. I also had to be a knowledgeable person because I had to have great and creative ideas.
The fundamental concept which I learn is communication because I had to ask the teacher lots of questions in order to succeed and be able to learn about drama. Without asking questions, I would not know a thing about stage directions or the journal.
