  1. THIS VIDEO GOES OVER TODAY'S EXPECTATIONS!
  2. Objective:
    1. Students will begin the production phase of their Film Fest entries to amplify their voices.
  3. Warm-Up:
    1. 2024-11-19 Warm-Up: Ask Mr. Smith

      1. You SHOULD NOT already know the answer. (If we've covered it several times this year, you should know it.)
      2. It SHOULD NOT be a question that can easily be answered by doing a Google Search.
      3. It SHOULD be a question that relates to Media Arts.
      4. It SHOULD NOT be a question about Mr. Smith. This is not the venue for his autobiography.
      5. 6th Grade Warm-Up
      6. 7th & 8th Grade Warm-Up
    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.

      1. If you fail to plan, you plan to fail. We just spent a month planning. Make it count.

        1. November's Arcade Day is scheduled for Monday, November 25th.

        1. Check Canvas - 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.
