Notes
- Happy Monday! Welcome to Week 33! Let’s all make our folders.
- Otto early dismissal at 1:20.
- That thing we have to do to solve the permissions is fight between the school computer and our web server software. The battle to the death may be over soon…

10:50 Morning Break (10 minutes)
- 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 Otto will give Constructive Criticism. Tomorrow Mia will.
11:30 DH32: Eyes Design Study – 2 left 2 right
This week we will be moving to eyes. You are going split the next piece of paper into 4 quadrants in landscape orientation. In each quadrant, draw a human eye. Your grade comes from the quality of all 4 eyes, so if your first is like above, but your last is this, your overall grade won’t be an A.
4 eyes over 70 minutes.
The center of your page is our nose, so we want 2 left and to right eyes. Don’t turn in 4 of the same orientation, unless you only want credit for 2.
Save your scanned sketch as lastNameDH33.jpg.
11:35 WordPress.org
Today we are going to start exploring WordPress.org – the .org being the full featured software that runs on the web servers of businesses, not wordpress.com.
What sites use WordPress.org as a CMS on the back end (the web server side?), BBC News, Disney, CAWD, the country of Sweeden, The Offical James Bond website, Realtor.com, Katy Perry, Sony Music, and the Washington Post – among others.
Today we will dip our feet in and play.

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.
2:45 Dismissal
