Media Arts Majors, 04-11-2024

Published on

THIS VIDEO GOES OVER TODAY'S EXPECTATIONS! (135 days until the 1st day of next school year!)

  1. Warm-Up: 
    1. 2024-04-11 Warm-Up: (E)TA, Part 6 of 6
      1. Open the document shared with you in this assignment and complete ALL unfinished sections.
      2. Make sure your responses are all placed in the boxes that say "[Write your response here]," as not everyone was doing that.
    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. April's Arcade Day is scheduled for 04/29/2024.
      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.
      3. Ineligible students should be working on a project re-submission or their next project.
  3. (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 Media Arts vocabulary words. (Due 03-19)
      2. A quiz on camera shots. (Due 03-21)
      3. Viewing and evaluating the cinematography and effectiveness of a commercial. (Due 04-02)
      4. Self-critiquing/reviewing the Film Festival entry submitted this year. (Due 04-04)
      5. Self-critiquing/reviewing your favorite Media Arts project you made in all your years as a Media Arts major. (Due 04-08)
      6. Providing reflections on your time in the CPA Media Arts program. (Due 4-11)
    5. This will NOT be completed in one sitting. The plan is to complete 1 part each day we have class.
    6. We MUST have everything complete by April 20th. By doing one part per day, we'll hit that deadline.
