Learning Opportunities

  1. Q3 Project 1
    1. Today is a planning day.
    2. What do you want your first Q3 project to be?
      1. (You were supposed to brainstorm a list for the 1-13 Homework. 9 of you handed something in. This is a good reference document.)
      2. Your first project MAY NOT BE a video. We need some variety.
    3. We have traditionally used rubrics that included 4 requirements that did not leave much room for opinions.
      1. Ex: Video is between 2-5 minutes long.
      2. Ex: Image is portrait (vertical) format, not landscape (horizontal) format.
    4. Pick a non-video project that you feel you can complete in TWO WEEKS (5 class days, roughly) and write up a rubric for it.
    5. Show the rubric to Mr. Smith. He will either approve it or make suggestions.
    6. Once your rubric is approved, get started IMMEDIATELY.
    7. The longer you take to get your project approved, the less time you have for your project.
  2. Podcasting: The Media Behind the Arts
    1. Bi-Weekly Schedule
      1. Segment recordings due 01-09. (Note: We will not be critiquing these until after they have been combined into a single recording.)

      3. Segment recordings due 01-24. (On hold as we recover from the Film Festival.)
    2. Your contribution will be a project grade!
