Periods 1 – 4 will meet in Dr. Guess’ room at the end of the hallway. I will be proctoring the Government AP exam. You will have an Adobe Express/Spark assignment to complete, Certification Reviews to complete, or a TechSmart lesson to complete. Testing should end about 11, and I’ll return asap after returning testing materials.

This is the only testing that I will have this week. So classes will run as normal otherwise.

All of the entries have been turned into schools with top ones advancing to the district level, judges have voted, and now awards are being prepared for our Virtual Awards Show on Tuesday, May 10th at 6:30 pm.

Tune in to see if you or your friends won the top prize! Link will be publicized via Twitter and this page on May 10th.

In the meantime, you can view all of this year’s entries here.
P.S. You can view previous years as well.

Create an animated storyin Animate!

You’ll design 2 background/scenes. It can be drawn in Animate or Illustrator. Just make sure to use your layers! You’ll need to animate one or more parts of the background. (Ex. moving clouds, rising sun, bird flying, clock hands moving, etc.)

Your animated story should have a minimum of 2 scenes to tell the story. You’ll need at least one character to animate, but can have more.

Today begins the final six weeks of the school year. However, we only have TWO FULL WEEKS before the barrage of AP testing, STAAR testing, Certification Testing, Senior Final Exams, and Underclassmen Final Exams begin. So you need to make sure you are using your time wisely and getting your work completed and turned in on time!

If you failed a six weeks and want to get credit for it, your deadline is May 4.
