  2. The Roots • My grandparents came from Samoa to share their culture with everyone.They were entertainers. • The siva and fire knife is a Samoan performing arts dance. • My grandma was a dancer at Waikiki’s popular Polynesian show , “Tihati’s” and the old “Hawaiian Hut”. • My grandpa worked as a fire knife dancer and performed with Hawaii’s well known singer, “Danny Kalikini”. Artifact 1: This is a picture of my grandmother in the mid 70’s at the Hawaiian Hut show.

Messy Room by Shel Silverstein Whosever room this is should be ashamed!His underwear is hanging on the lamp.His raincoat is there in the overstuffed chair,And the chair is becoming quite mucky and damp.His workbook is wedged in the window,His sweater's been thrown on the floor.His scarf and one ski are beneath the TV,And his pants have been carelessly hung on the door.His books are all jammed in the closet,His vest has been left in the hall.A lizard named Ed is asleep in his bed,And his smelly old sock has been stuck to the wall.Whosever room this is should be ashamed!Donald or Robert or Willie or--Huh? You say it's mine? Oh, dear,I knew it looked familiar!

  9. Artifact 4: Every year my high school holds a weekly homecoming event where each class performs a skit, a dance, create a float, decorate class section, design a class banner, participant in daily dress up’s, and compete in recreation games. We begin our homecoming event by hosting and participating in the annual bon fire to celebrate the upcoming festivities. I was a active participant in the homecoming skit and dance. My class and I were the first freshman’s to ever win the homecoming trophy and we continued to win the spirit trophy throughout the years.

  10. Performing Arts in Adulthood • Hula: danced in front of an audience. • Polyfest: UH Manoa’sPolynesianFfestival- performed a siva to a college audience, performance was taped and aired on the Olelot.v station. • Speech 151: recited plays, songs, and dances to classmates. • Ali’I Catamaran: Polynesian dance performance Artifact 5: My first real job was at the Ali’I Kai Catamaran where I was a hostess and a performer ( Hula, Siva, and American dance).

  11. Put On Your Game Face My Strengths My Goals my goals as a performance art teacher is to teach students to use their highest potential. I want to find each student’s strengths as well as their weakness and encourage them to embrace it. For example a student is skilled graphic artist but is a shy performer. I would use this student’s ability to help decorate and design props or have them create the customs . • Although I know that I am not the best in everything, I am very comfortable and confident enough to try something once ( sing a song, perform a dance, draw a art work, recite a poem, etc). • I believe that I have strong team work skills, such as learning to collaborate and work together with others. Also, learning about peoples strengths and weaknesses and how to use their skills.

  12. Steps That Will Help Me Achieve My Goal To achieve my goal the first thing I would have to do is to get to know my students and to build a positive relationship with each and everyone of them. I think that knowledge is endless. Therefore, I believe that it is important that I continue to learn more about the arts and how to embrace both modern and tradition teaching skills to create the best teaching approach for my students. I also feel that learning how to maintain team work will allow me to achieve my goals. For example, asking colleagues, professors, students, parents, and the community for more resources to use, for help when it is needed, and feedback on my teachings. I also that it is really important to get their support in what I want to do.
