This week

You have 1 week to submit your entries to the LCISD Digital Media Festival. Entry forms are on the front table. It is a requirement for Graphic Design & Illustration and Audio/Video. It is recommended for PAAVTC. You will receive a project grade on your entry!

Please remember to tell me you’ve updated your Canvas ePortfolio with finished work. If you don’t tell me, I don’t know to grade it!

Last, this is a cell-phone and earphone free zone! Put them away when you walk in so that you can concentrate on completing your work!!!

Grades

Reminder that you must complete work by the end of class TOMORROW in order for me to have it graded and in Skyward by my deadline for Progress Reports!

Music Videos have been graded. If you want to know how you got the grade you did, pick up your rubric from the front table. Since it is a MAJOR grade, you are eligible to re-do or fix it to bring it up to passing. That will require you coming in for AM tutorials and/or lunch.

If you see a zero for an assignment that you have completed, please show it to me so that I can change it in Skyward.
