The daily video is here!

  1. Objective:
    1. Students will complete their last project of the Quarter to take ownership of their own learning.
  2. Warm-Up: 2026-03-20: Darnall's Chance Post-Production
    1. (Note: While EVERYONE has to do something for this Warm-Up, only the TEAM LEADS have to hand something in using the link above.)
    2. TEAM LEADS: Check in with your team members and assess their progress since the last time you saw it. Revisit the work you did last time for Darnall's Chance. Use Canvas to share who has been on task since the last time you saw their work.
      1. Are the clips in place?
      2. Are the required graphics in place?
      3. Is the copyright information in place? (Example of a 21 second video with the correct information in place.)
      4. Is the voice-over or chroma keyed insert in place?
      5. Are there subtitles? (We need these!)
    3. 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.
  3. Announcements:
    1. BACK UP ALL WORK YOU VALUE TO GOOGLE DRIVE!
      1. Not ensuring you have access to your work outside of this room us a recipe for disaster.
      2. Some students have voiced that they've lost all of their work. YOU WERE TOLD TO BACK UP YOUR WORK SO THAT WOULD NOT HAPPEN.
      3. As an added bonus, you'll be able to access your content from home.
    2. March's Arcade Day is cancelled for previously discussed reasons, plus students ignoring Mr. Williams on the 9th.
    3. Darnall's Chance House Museum
      1. EVERYONE: Your first draft is due by March 24th. You do not have the luxury of waiting to get started. Use Kdenlive (You will only need this link if you're editing on a home computer) for this project, so the files can be shared with the historians.
      2. TEAM LEADS: Your team likely has voice-overs or chroma key work to record. Encourage them to get started.
