THIS VIDEO EXPLAINS TODAY'S EXPECTATIONS!

Today's to-do list includes the following items:

  1. Warm-Up: 
    1. Ask Mr. Smith a question about digital media.
      1. It is Mr. Smith's intention to answer all questions.
    2. 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 resubmission.
  2. Scheduling
    1. Take a moment to check your schedule in SchoolMax to see your 3rd Quarter elective. A small number of students were given the same class twice. (Example: Given the Drama elective for Q1 and again for Q3.) Make sure this didn't happen to you.
  3. Monthly Incentives
    1. Monthly Media Arts Incentive:
      1. "Arcade Day" at the end of the month.
        1. January's Arcade Day is scheduled for 01/18/2024.
      2. Students remain eligible unless a Notice of Concern has been earned that month for grades or behavior, though a student who missed out from low grades can earn back their Arcade Day privileges if they bring their grade back up.
        1. Check SchoolMax - if your avg is 70% or above, you're probably eligible.

  5. Q2 Project 4
    1. Due to the extension of the Project 3 deadline, there will be NO Project 4 this Quarter. Make your Project 3 count!
