Performance Challenge Review Paper

The performance event I chose for my initial performance challenge review was a presentation that I would give of a “lesson plan” to my entire class. It is important for me to note that this class is an education elective that I have chosen to take. I chose to take Aesthetic Learning and Development because the class is created to instruct others and myself on how to correctly teach and interact with young children. I am not going to become a teacher. Rather, I am going to become an Occupational Therapist and am starting school this August at Methodist University. However, over the course of this class, I have learned many creative and effective methods that my future young patients will be able to relate to and perform. I can implement these …show more content…

Imagery is being able to create an experience in the mind. It is a form of simulation, similar to a real sensory experience, however, the entire experience solely happens in the mind (Weinberg & Gould, 2015). Imagery, contrary to popular belief, is not only using our visual senses. Rather, it encompasses our kinesthetic sense, auditory sense, tactile sense, and olfactory systems as well. Imagery, tapping into all five of our senses, allows us to recreate positive experiences where success happens and mistakes are corrected. It also allows people to picture new events in order to prepare mentally for the performance (Weinberg & Gould, 2015). This is the approach of imagery that I used in preparing for my lengthy presentation. I had never done this type of presentation before, so I did not have a presentation to recreate. Therefore, I had to picture a new event for myself. Initially picturing this new event for myself was hard for me, because I was only using my visual sense, which was depicting me presenting in front of the class. I was just standing there in my mind talking, which did not help much. I later see that visualizing me doing my event is only one piece of imagery, so it makes sense as to why only visualizing my presentation was not as effective. I then added the other four senses. I started with visual, seeing myself in my scrubs standing at the front of the classroom. Then I added the kinesthetic sense, which is moving around, feeling the body as it moves in difference positions (Weinberg & Gould, 2015). I could then see myself moving around the classroom, weaving in-between the treatment tables (desks), and bending down to interact with and help my “patients.” I could feel what it would be like to glide around the classroom, moving my arms around as I demonstrated proper arm motions as we practiced our activities of daily living. I then heard my voice, how it would sound as I spoke gently to my

Imagery can feasibly be known as used quite a bit in Jeanne DuPrau’s books. This tool helps give the author a technique to send an image into the mind of the reader. Such an example of this would have been in The City of Sparks in the quote “It was a bigger flame than Lina had ever seen, like a terrible orange hand, reaching up and down.” You can see Duprau uses imagery incredibly well. She describes the fire as a “terrible orange hand” and also describing it as an insanely big flame never seen before.

Imagery is the sensory details that are used to describe, intrigue emotion, or represent abstractions between things. Imager uses terms related to the five senses which we refer to them as visual, auditory, tactile, gustatory, or olfactory imagery. Examples of visual imagery are “Hell’s wide gaping mouth” and “glowing flames” (108.) This makes the reader visualize what this may look like and causes a sense of fear. Another form of imagery is “You hang by a slender thread, with the flames of divine wrath flashing about it” (110.)

We see the use of imagery when the announcer for the radio station is reporting the Olympic race (Hillenbrand 34). The imagery shown there is a great representation of how to show people what is happening without being there to witness it. Putting the picture in your mind of the Olympics, the kids running to get what they all have ever wanted: the gold medal. Another example of imagery is “A Dead Body Breathing” (Hillenbrand 185). This is a great example showing how Louie is alive and breathing but he should be dead.

The images that the words create makes it feel as if you were really there looking at everything actually happening. Such as, “They stretched their beloved lord in his boat, laid out by the mast, amidships. The great ring-giver. Farfetched treasures were piled on him,and precious gear.” This is a great example of imagery.

As a basketball coach, I would use the five types of imagery, such as visual, kinesthetic, auditory, olfactory imagery, and tactical imagery to help my athletes visualize their competition surroundings before an event. This type of visualization would enhance the performance, affect, and thought of my athletes by allowing them to visualize the fans, signage, technology, and culture. However, in a situation where my athletes and I would have to play an away game against a rival team, I would use visual and kinesthetic imagery by watching a video of the opposing team before the competition, as well as practice the opposing team’s movements to beat them. Nonetheless, in a situation where my team and I would be down by more than 10 points in the

Imagery is a literary device that uses descriptive wording to put a vivid image of a scenario in your mind. Dickens uses imagery to describe the scenery and the change in Scrooge’s physical appearance throughout the course of the story. “eezing, wrenching, grasping, scraping, clutching, covetous, old sinner! Hard and sharp as flint, from which no steel had ever struck out generous fire; secret, and self- contained, and solitary as an oyster. The cold within him froze his old features, nipped his pointed nose, shrivelled his cheek, stiffened his gait; made his eyes red, his thin lips blue; and spoke out shrewdly in his grating voice.

Imagery is especially important when the author is describing a character or a setting. The short story The Man In The Black Suit by Stephen King has several excellent examples of imagery.

Imagery is a literary device to help enhance the quality, relatability, and detail in a story. An ample example of rich sensory language can be found in Farah Ahmedi’s book, “The other side of the sky”. In her book, Ahmadi uses bountiful sensory language to create an atmosphere of the emotions she felt when this situation was taking place, but also utilizes imagery to truly bring the characters to life and makes it abundantly clear that these were real people Ahmedi interacted with. Just in the limited excerpt we read, it’s extremely apparent how Ahmedi was feeling throughout her and her mother’s attempt at crossing the Afghanistan/Pakistan border. This can best be seen through looking at a snippet of the excerpt: “It was hard for me to keep my footing, and my mother was clutching my arm now, just hanging on, just trying to stay close to me, because the worst thing would have been if we had gotten separated.

Through my studies of human expression and its reflection of how people deal with world events in different ways, I developed sensitivity to other worldviews that continues to prove useful through my daily interactions with people of different backgrounds. I have learned that just like art, medicine involves pattern recognition and derives insight from experiences. Similarly, what I especially enjoy about being a medical assistant is interacting with patients on a daily basis and getting to be a part of their medical experiences, even if it is just by lending an ear. The experiences on my path to a career in medicine have made me want to make a real, tangible difference in the lives of those around me – a difference that leaves my patients in a better condition than they were in before I met them.

For example, Frost states, “Some say the world will end in fire” (1) this is imagery because it makes me picture the orange and yellow flames, plus, I can almost feel the heat of the fire. The line also helps me to imagine the smoky smell in the air that follows the destruction of the flames. The imagery in this line is so strong that in only those few words I was able not only to see, feel, and smell the flames but also to imagine the destruction and pain the fire causes. Frost also states, “Some say in ice” (2) this is imagery because it makes me imagine the solid sheet of blueblack ice, cold and hard, unwavering. It creates a very vivid picture in

Investing my time in the care of my patient gives the opportunity to not only assist them in a difficult situation, but also to learn more about their diagnosis and the treatment, while comparing it to what we have learned in class. For example, I had a patient that suffered from Sickle Cell Disease and came to the ER during a crisis. Correlating this case to the books and the content learned in class, these patients receive at least 1000 mL of fluids, pain medication, and oxygen. Additionally, I had a patient with meningitis. This individual presented with common symptoms such as nuchal rigidity, muscle pain, fever, and chills.

In general, a performance-based assessment measures students ' ability to apply the skills and knowledge learned from a unit or units of study. Typically, the task challenges students to use their higher-order thinking skills to create a product or complete a process (Chun, 2010). Tasks can range from a simple constructed response (e.g., short answer) to a complex design proposal of a sustainable neighborhood. Arguably, the most genuine assessments require students to complete a task that closely mirrors the responsibilities of a professional, e.g., artist, engineer, laboratory technician, financial analyst, or consumer advocate. Essential components of a performance-based assessment:
