Published on
  1. TODAY'S VIDEO OVERVIEW IS HERE!
  2. Objective:
    1. Students will begin recording their 3rd Q3 projects to showcase their interests.
  3. Warm-Up:
    1. 2025-03-06:
      1. 6th Grade
      2. 7th & 8th Grade
    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.
  4. Announcements:
    1. We are not recording in the hallway for this project.
      1. Students being disrespectful have ruined this privilege. Reflect on this and plan accordingly. "But I need to..." is an admission that you did not plan around this problem.
    2. What makes your project YOURS, and not just like everyone else's project?
      1. If you can't answer this, then you are likely making things that look like other people's work.
      2. If your work looks like everyone else's, you are easily replaceable.
      3. Templates
      4. Stock transitions
      5. Popular tools that "do the work" for you
    3. "Arcade Day" at the end of the month.

      1. March's Arcade Day is scheduled for Wednesday, April 2nd! THIS WILL ALSO BE A T-SHIRT PRINTING DAY!
    4. 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 Canvas - if your avg is 70% or above, you're probably eligible.
