Week Twenty Four

Today’s Notes

  • Today is an EHS B Day
  • EHS B Day students have class at 12:25. Plan your lunch accordingly
  • Regular break time today, however you may take your break earlier w/partner if you want to get food
  • Game Day Friday – Fully Complete (that includes the animation that is due today)
    • modeling
    • storyboard
    • 2D animation exercise (brick, waterballoon, dealer’s choice)
    • past work (see me if you are unsure)
    • When you are complete, you can play (it is a fair deal)
  • Assets for PSA have been reviewed and graded and should be in the Community Folder. If you:
    • completed all five assets and the assets on a plane (as instructed), filenames etc. then you earned an A
    • If you completed all five assets but missed details in naming or materials you earned A-
    • If you are missing assets or did not complete the directions correctly for all assets you earned between and F and a B. It’s not too late. Finish all 5 and I will improve your grade.
    • Lastly, if your grade is low but you did the assets it is because they are not in the community folder!
  • Students working with visitors:
  • Second Session (11:05 – 11:30 8 Min rotations)

9:45 PSA Sounds Blitz

Let’s all take a moment to look at some audio sources to gather some useful clips for the PSA animation.

In the SafeDrivesSaveLIves Community Folder is an Audio Folder. Let’s go out and get some sounds that we might want.

Your task is to find a variety of sound effects – rename the file so that we know exactly what the sound is. (example, bottlebreak.mp3)

Each team will have different work this morning based on your chosen competition:
Read your teams assignments carefully. A big part of the competition is being able to follow the guidelines that are written for each competition.

By Thursday at lunch – create a folder with your two names on the Public inside of the weeks “skillsUSA” folder. The folder is found at Public/CAWD. For example if Mr. Cronin and Mr. Bohmann were working together the folder would be:

  • “croninBohmann”
