Published on

THIS VIDEO GOES OVER TODAY'S EXPECTATIONS!

  1. Warm-Up: 
    1. 2024-03-15 Warm-Up: Lessons Learned
      1. Take a moment to list media arts skills you have now that you've learned or improved upon since your first day in this major.
      2. Using bullet points or a numbered list for your formatting is recommended.
      3. This is an opportunity to show off, make use of it.
    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 re-submission.
  2. Monthly Incentives
    1. Monthly Media Arts Incentive:
      1. "Arcade Day" at the end of the month.
        1. March's Arcade Day is scheduled for 03/21/2024.
      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.

      6. Critique Day 03-19
  6. (Exit) Technical Assessments
    1. These are required for EVERY CPA/VPA discipline in each CPA/VPA school, though there are variations.
    2. 8th & 12 grade students take the ETA, as they are "exiting" the school.
    3. 6th & 7th grade students are taking a similar assessment, but it's called the TA as they are not yet exiting the program.
    4. The (E)TA consists of several parts:
      1. A quiz on camera shots.
      2. A quiz on other Media Arts vocabulary words.
      3. Viewing and evaluating the cinematography and effectiveness of a commercial.
      4. Self-critiquing/reviewing the Film Festival entry submitted this year.
      5. Self-critiquing/reviewing your favorite Media Arts project you made in all your years as a Media Arts major.
      6. Providing reflections on your time in the CPA Media Arts program.
    5. This will NOT be completed in one sitting, but we will be starting part of it next week.
    6. We MUST have everything complete by April 20th. By doing one part per day, we'll hit that deadline.
  7. Q4 Project deadlines:

    8. Deadlines for future projects are not adjusted. Students are encouraged to not put off starting Project 4 because they've decided to work on redoing Project 3 from scratch.
