Notes

Fire Drill today at 10:15 Make sure you get to our rally site for attendance.
We have 1 week of academic school left, then a week of end of the year activities:
- 37 – “Passion Project” Final – all work due Friday June 7th at EOD (only project – final grade)
- 38 – end of year activities
  - Monday – Certification exam (10:30 start) – EHS students that have conflicts make arrangements with that teacher today so you are in the room at 10:30.
    - Have to take the exam, part of the program. If you can’t take it Monday, we may invite you back Friday to take it after school is over. This is not what anyone wants, so make sure you are here Monday.
  - Tuesday – Movies (CAWD2 wants Garfield if possible). Leaving CAWD at 10:05 sharp. Again, EHS students that have conflicts make arrangements with your teachers today – we are leaving to go on a field trip, we can’t stay, if you can’t come to the movies, you need to have your parent say you are sick for the day or it will be a cut, as we as a program are not going to be here.
    - We pay for tickets
    - You pay for concessions
  - Wednesday – Game Day / Social / Relax
    - Not doing food
    - Time to get all work off the machines
    - Game
    - Board games
    - Draw
    - Socialize face to face
    - Karate
    - THIS IS A GREAT DAY FOR EHS STUDENTS WITH CONFLICTS TO TAKE ANY EXAMS SCHEDULED FOR MONDAY OR TUESDAY.
  - Thursday – Recognition Night Rehearsal, Recognition Night – LAST DAY OF CAWD! Everyone get off of work / other stuff so we can end the year with a nice night, get some photos, get some scholarships (I know people in the room that will win $), etc.
    - At the we want to get together to get some photos of the class before you leave.
      - Like this.
      - Or this.
      - Or this.
Otto 11:15 – 12 dismissal

I have to start thinking of life after Recognition Night, schools are collecting and putting away their class supplies, equipment, etc.
- Tablets – put away
- White headphones – going away today after school – if you need a pair for the remainder of the year bring in tomorrow on. Remember that the desktops have Bluetooth.
- Art Cups – I will be taking the cups on Wednesday. Bring a bag (or just use your backpack) for the stuff in the cups for Wednesday. Whatever you don’t want please let CAWD have so we don’t waste taxpayer money! I am sure there are some erasures, pencils, smudge sticks, etc that have life in them.

10:05 Attendance and Article

10:15 2024 CAWD Passion Project!!!

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 Megan will give Constructive Criticism. (I think we can get 2 projects done in 1 round of Critiques)

1:00 Public Speaking Practice

As we have finished our in class read-alongs, we are going to get some practice on a real world skill that we all could improve on – public speaking and thinking on your feet.

We will have some giggles, some stress, some practice – low stakes, but good practice.

1:20 Afternoon 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.

1:30 Speed Design

Speed Designs are 10 minute sprints in CAWD where we practice. It could be any medium – 3D, 2D, video, programming, etc.

1:45 Afternoon Practice & Production

Passion Project Final
- Your final CAWD project will be presented any way that you wish. Remember that you are building your brand, and you want to show off as much as you have done. Still frames, animations, OBS recordings, pictures – whatever you need to do to show off your culminating project that really says “Hey, this is what I can do.”

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.
