      5. Other...?
  2. Independent Work
    1. Homework/Journal checks
      1. 4-8: Podcasting is a media that anyone can produce with a minimum of equipment and resources. While general interest podcasts exist, the majority of successful shows focus on a single topic. (Example: A video game themed podcast might have all of their episodes only focus on a single video game franchise.)
        1. Brainstorm 3 topics that you would find interesting enough to make into a series of podcast episodes.
        2. For each topic, list three sub-topics that would be addressed either in every episode (as segments) or have an entire episode dedicated to them.
        3. Example: Topic: Media Arts
          1. Sub-topic 1: Chroma Key
          2. Sub-topic 2: Inexpensive alternatives to expensive software/hardware
          3. Subtopic 3: Copyright Law (How to Not Get Sued)
      2. 4-10: Design a cardboard device you could use to stabilize a camera, microphone, or light. Draw this device from at least two different angles so that it is clear how it works.
    2. Q4 Project 2: DUE APRIL 26th!

      1. All submitted rubrics have been approved.
      2. The 3 week time frame is due to Spring Break. This due date WILL sneak up on you if you do not work on this project every day.
      3. The work you need to do today will depend on the rubric you have created, but you NEED to be doing something constructive EVERY DAY.
      4. Reminder that due to hallway behavior last week this class has lost hallway recording privileges. This ruling will be reevaluated if behavior improves.
        1. Update: Assuming today goes well, hallway recording privileges will be reinstated for most students when we return from Spring Break.
  3. HOMEWORK
    1. 4-12: Enjoy your Spring Break!
