b) Select one or two experiences from each of the weeks of the semester.
c) Organize one entry for each of the weeks of instruction during this semester. For each one of these entries:
- create a title that describes the main topics or themes for that week
- describe the highlights of the experience in your own words.
- select evidence that illustrates what each one of these experiences entailed, this could involve a combination of excerpts from work that was completed during that week (i.e. selections from your writing, course notes, quotes from readings, shared documents on canvas) , or a rendering of that experience, for example, a drawing or other creative expressive form that captures what took place (this can be particularly useful for re-constructing embodied experiences, or other class experiences for which there is no physical evidence).

- How have your understandings of dance as an embodied art form have changed as a result of the experiences in this course?
- What do you anticipate to be the impact of these new understandings in your future?
