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 Ben will.
11:30 DH4: Harvest
This week we will be working on a Farm based animation and game environment.
All around us we are seeing farmers markets, harvest festivals, and other end of summer activities based around the idea of “The Harvest” for the year.
Your DH this week is to visually what “Harvest” means to you.

This is likely the final time I “announce that we have an agency” – I will always announce if we don’t have one – but from now on assume we always have an agency.

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
