Jury Duty

Graphic Design 1 and 2

Please make sure that you are focused on completing assignments. The sub has 1 camera available if you need to use it, make sure it gets returned at the end of class.

Audio/Video

There are still a couple of you that are editing your course selection trailer – you should continue. The rest of you are going to start planning for your How-To Video. Refer to the directions in the challenge. You will turn in your story idea and what you’ve completed with your script/storyboard when you leave.

PAAVTC

Continue working with your Animate lessons. Remember to show me what you’ve completed tomorrow so that I can enter it in Skyward.

Computer Science

Continue working with your partner through the Unit 3 Lessons. Remember to add vocabulary and codes/explanations to your spiral at the beginning of each lesson. Answer the Check for Understanding questions at the end of each lesson.

PIT

Each of you should be working on the Lesson 14 Animated Card. Check your progress to the requirements in the rubric.  Turn the rubric in if you have filled it out. Hit the Share Button on the last bubble to get a share link, and email it to me: Kristen.Samuelson@

ALTERNATIVE WRITING ASSIGNMENT

If the sub feels you are not working, you may be assigned this writing assignment. Questions to answer | Document to read 

PAAVTC – Animate Errors

If you are working on the Camera, Scenes & Buttons Challenge in Adobe Animate, go ahead and skip over Stage 4 where you add buttons and Actions. Everyone seems to be getting the same errors, and I’m unable to figure out why. When I do, we’ll go back and work on them.

Progress Report Week

My grades are due on Friday for Progress Reports which means any work you want graded should be turned in to me by Thursday! PAAVTC – you should have 4 assignments in the gradebook by the end of this week.
PIT – you should be completing Lesson 14 (animated card project) by the end of Thursday.

Some of you are out for EOC testing this week, so make sure you are using your time wisely in class.
