What Now?!?

Only twelve weeks to go!

You should be working to finish Illustrator, Photoshop and then Flash.  When you finish all of the assigned chapters in each application, you should see me.

Don’t forget that every day of class, you are required to post a blog about what you learned in class with a TEK. Blogs without a description of what you did and a TEK don’t count.  Your blog is NOT for personal reflection. I don’t need to know who you like, what you did last night or what movie you saw. Save that deep reflection for English class.

HOLD THE PHONE!!!

IF you don’t send me an email to tell me your exam is done (like it says in the instructions), and I don’t have your blog address, you get a zero.

Exchange Students

If you want to have an amazing experience in another country that will change your life, think about being an exchange student. The exchange program from Rotary writes:

The Rotary Club of Austin is looking for high school students who want to spend a year studying abroad.  Please pass this along to any students you know who may be interested.  Share it with teachers as well.

We are looking for students who are interested in a year-long exchange.  The orientation  is usually held in October for a weekend.  I have attached the link to the RI website that will give all the details on our youth exchange program.   If a student is interested, they will need to complete an application.

Blender

Blender is an animation program that we are going to start working with in the last six weeks.

If you want to check it out, go here.

There are also amazing galleries.

Dream Big – Help People – Change Lives

If you are interested in creating a project that will change people’s lives, but will challenge you like never before, read the description file linked here.

A short proposal is required to begin.

Students who complete this project will receive a 100 for the next 12 weeks, 100 on their final exam and the option to continue their project in independent study next year. Other grading accommodations may also apply.

Project Description

Early Exams

If you complete your six weeks exam today by 4:15 PM, you will get a bonus 5%.

Incomplete Grades

If your initials are TB, HD, MH, RM or NS, you may have incompletes on your grades for the first semester.

Since it is your responsibility to resolve these incompletes, you need to discuss them with me. If you do not take care of your incomplete, on Monday,  February 25th, the incomplete will be changed to a failing grade, which may affect whether you receive credit for the first semester.
