10 Minute break – you have to exit the room.
When the door near the TV is open, you are welcome to come back in.

11:00 Critiques

Each week we will upload our work on Monday as a class. I will then present your work to the class. Every week we will pick a new student to proactive giving constructive criticism. Constructive criticism is a type of feedback that offers specific and actionable advice to help employees to improve. In the professional setting we need to be to talk professionally about the work, even if you don’t “love” the person who created it.

If selected, you will pick 1 thing that works, and 1 thing to improve upon next time. Remember we are separating the Design from the Designer. We are looking for actionable input.

Today Isaac will give Constructive Criticism. Tomorrow Connie will.

11:30 DH28: Summative Still Life Final

Next Monday we will compare your before / after to judge progress.

Remember this is not two separate drawings, but 1 sketch that was 50% complete (what you turned in today), and the completed sketch due next week.

Save your file as lastNameDH28.jpg.

11:35 Web Design

Intro to inputs in HTML5
- Inputs allow users to enter data into a web browser. They can be for something on screen, for data to be put in a database, for social media post, for an email in gmail, etc.
Intro to JavaScript
- JavaScript, often abbreviated as JS, is a programming language and core technology of the Web, alongside HTML and CSS. 99% of websites use JavaScript on the client side for webpage behavior. Web browsers have a dedicated JavaScript engine that executes the client code.
- Variables
- Event Listeners
- Functions
- Using the DOM / Document Object Model
CodePen – definitely.
VS Code – maybe?

2:20 Dailies

2:25 “19 Minutes”

4 of 5 days per week we will end our day in CAWD with the “19 Minutes” of silent reading. Closing down our day with silent reading provides many benefits:

Improve Literacy Skills / Reading Stamina
Create space for a small reading meditation where we can disconnect from the world and get lost in a story
Unplug

At 2:44 each day I will come to 3 students and ask for a 1 sentence explanation of what happened in your story over that day’s reading session. It is neat to hear little pockets of a story, here and there.
