Learning Opportunities

  1. Project 3
    1. Grades are in Google Classroom
    2. Grades will be in SchoolMax soon.
  2. Project 4
    1. Do not assume your rubric was approved.
      1. (Check comments from the 03-04 Homework in Google Classroom to see if yours was one of them.)
    2. If your rubric was not one of the ones that was approved, you will be creating a "Drabble" audio recording.
    3. Rubric:
      1. ► MP3 recording must be an original work of fiction. (No real names, people, or events.)
      2. ► MP3 recording must be free of "verbal filler" (um, uh, so, like, etc. used between the actual content) and relatively free of background noise.
      3. ► Written story must be EXACTLY 100 words in length and match the recording.
      4. ► Written story must have acceptable spelling, grammar, and punctuation.
    4. The best program we have for audio recording and editing is Audacity.
      1.  (Tutorial here)
      2. I recommend using a USB mic. We have several in here, but ASK first.
        1. Audacity only checks for a mic when it is first opened. Make sure your mic is plugged into the computer BEFORE you open Audacity!
      3. This is another program where "save" and "export" mean very different things. Please be mindful of this.
  3. Exit Ticket (Auto-posted to Google Classroom at 3:40pm.)
    1. 5th grade assessments were this morning. What advice would you give to the 5th graders who have decided they want to be in your major?
      To earn credit, use a complete sentence to explain your answer.
      This assignment is not eligible for late submission or resubmission.
