Media Arts Majors, 10-29-2026 – Week 8

Published on

Objective:

  • Students will act on provided feedback and begin storyboarding their scripts to make the production and post-production stages far easier.
  • 11:50-12:00: Start of Class 
    1. Warm-Up: 2026-10-29: SGM Check-In 1
      1. You've seen this before. Give it your best shot.
      2. Unlike shorter Warm-Ups, this is a 20 point test and not open notes.
    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. If copying notes is expected, notebook checks are 10 point Independent Work grades. Warm-Ups are due at the start of class and not eligible for late submission or re-submission.

    6. Feedback from the critiques is provided in the Canvas assignment for that project.
    7. Projects are eligible for re-submission, but only once. They must be resubmitted using the same form as before, and no later than 10 days after feedback has been shared with them in Canvas. The 4th project of each Quarter is not eligible for re-submission due to its proximity to the end of the Quarter!
    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.
  • 12:55-1:05: End of Class
    1. Save all work on your flash drive and back it up in Google Drive, as "I couldn't access my project" will not be seen as a valid excuse.
    2. If it's the last B Day of the week, submit the week's Classwork as an Exit Ticket, then check to make sure you uploaded the correct thing.
      1. Odd Numbered Exit Ticket Rubric:
        4 pts Student has shared their plan for their current project.
        3 pts It is clear which project has been selected.
        3 pts It is clear that the student is following the rubric for their chosen project, even if they have not yet met all of the criteria.
      2. Even numbered Exit Ticket Rubrics will vary, and are included with the project information.
      3. NOTE: Links that do not show any content and files that cannot be opened do not count towards the completion of this assignment. Sharing the work with the rest of the class is ESSENTIAL for getting a grade above a zero.
      4. Feedback from the critiques is provided in the Canvas assignment for that project.
      5. Odd numbered Exit Tickets are work-in-progress checks and so CAN'T be eligible for late submission or re-submission. You can't go back in time to be on task when you originally were not.
    3. Properly shut down your assigned computer and line up, prepared to go to lunch.
