NO VIDEO TODAY (I've been typing too much with this hand again.)

  1. Objective:
    1. Students will critique their last projects of the Quarter.
  2. Warm-Up: 2026-01-21: Reaction GIF
      1. Use your desktop's webcam to record yourself to make a reaction gif relating to the end of 2nd Quarter.
      2. Your recording SHOULD NOT be longer than 10 seconds this is a warm-up, not a full project, and a shorter GIF exports faster.
        1. No, seriously. 1-2 seconds can still earn you an A.
      3. Use WeVideo to trim off excess video and add relevant text to your recording.
      4. When exporting from WeVideo, make sure you are selecting "GIF," not "Video" or "Podcast."
      5. Hand in the results in Canvas. (Use the button for uploading images,)
    2. Rubric:
      1. 3 pts: GIF upload is of the student and is no longer than 10 seconds TRT. (Shorter is better.)
      2. 2 pts: GIF upload has relevant text included so it relates specifically to the end of 2nd Quarter.
    3. Warm-Ups are usually a 5 point Independent Work grade if a written response is expected, or a 5 point Assessment grade if the Warm-Up is a quiz. They are due at the start of class and not eligible for late submission or re-submission.
  3. Announcements:
    1. January's Arcade Day is scheduled for Thursday, January 29th.
      1. You will need to have a 70% OR HIGHER in this class to be eligible.
      2. This does not change any deadlines.
      3. This will also be a T-Shirt Printing Day.
