On Sunday, we all met up at the high school and began to rehearse our  skit with props. We first decided what kinds of roles we would play an the types of voices we would use. Next, we all figured out the movements we going to do when we were talking. We decided our placements and then started to practice. It started off slow as we were really unsure of what we would say so we talked about different scenarios and looked at some infomercials online to see how theirs began. After searching some up, we had an idea of how to begin. We then started to practice once more and became more relaxed instead of serious so we just said whatever came to our minds and let the words roll off our tongues. We did this quite a few times with the scenarios and choose which way we liked the best. On this day, we had made significant progress and felt we were close to being ready to present. We called it a day and we all went home and watched the Champions League finals.

New Learning for the Day :  Today we had learned that we didnt know how to really advance the skit and were struggling to play off of each and had many moments of silence. We then looked up some videos and whatched some infomercials to see how they sort of advanced themselves. Here's an example of what we looked at. : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZKUJT7-6iI
What we learned from this is how they advanced the infomericial. We noticed how they often added in questions to move along the commercial and we decided it was a good way to move the skit along. We also learned that we need to use a more unique and exicting voice rather than just our normal voices just like the video.

After school on Monday, we once again met up and rehearsed our skit. We noiticed an improvement from yesterday because we saw that we were able to figure out how to proceed the skit without as many pauses by having One member ask questions as like an audience member. With this way, we were able to progress futher and have less erros in our skit. We practiced untill we felt satisfied with our progress and calle dit a day.

New learning / Research : today we didnt really learn or research anything, as we had just rehearsed our skit multiple time untill we felt we had made good progress. No videos were looked at this day.

Much similar to Monday, we had met up for our third and final time to practice rehaesing our skit. This day went rather smoothly as we had plenty of practice from previous meetups. Our attemps went smoothly and it was just a matter of ironing out the kinks and getting the little details of the presenation right. For the most part, we felt like we were ready to present.

New Learning / Research :  Today went similar To last day. Nothing really was resaerched. for the few problems we encoutered, like the final choices for the voice we would use were easily solved by personal preference.
