Entry 6
Date: 9th December
Section: Investigating/ Planning
ATLs: Thinking Critically, Collaboration, Communication, Self Management
Type of PJ: Meeting
Necessary Information: On Monday 9th December, I met with my supervisor, Mr Esmail, at school during lunch time. It was the first meeting, which brought us to discuss about the whole project, specific ways where I have to turn to and how to start planning.
Purpose of meeting: The purpose of this meeting was to discuss the planning section as it was the section I was working on at that time. We are usually meeting once a week, but had some difficulties meeting the following weeks.
Notes of meeting: We first of all discussed the possible criteria that I was creating. Mr. Esmail explained to me that I could make a video clip for my song with a group that does that, and the video making wouldn’t be considered as the skilled learnt in this project. We agreed that I needed to put my song on Youtube in order to get feedback and this is why I need a video clip.
We furthermore discussed the way I was going to draw my sketches as it was something I didn’t understand. I explained to Mr. Esmail the way I was seeing my sketches take form. My idea was to write possible lyrics, possible chords, possible structures, possible strumming patterns, possible instruments and other in my two different sketches. He said that it was an excellent idea. He also emphasize the fact that other people don’t have to understand my sketches but that I need to be able to explain it later on, and even have maybe both sketches annotated.
Regarding the part where I am supposed to plan and have a timeline, he explained to me that I have to put in the important dates, and clue deadlines in order to have an idea of when my product will be finished and also in order to be able to do the work and know what to do, when to do it, and how to do it.
Outcomes: The outcomes form this meeting are for me to finish my criteria, to start sketching and to start my timeline. This is an important part of my personal project which requires us to meet again a week later to see what I did and how I managed to plan my project.
