Friday, October 4th

Friday, October 4th

Class Hours: 10:05 – 2:40
Mr. Cronin

Notes

  • Happy Friday!
  • Try to get your work completed (and scanned?) today so Monday during Last Looks your life is easy. Remember Monday’s aren’t for DOING work, just uploading it.
  • Did you know that you have a 3 day of school next week with Thursday and Friday off?
  • Did you know that you get the Friday AFTER Halloween off later on this month?
  • Well our schedule has changed AGAIN at 8:51 due to English being canceled, so, let’s take a look…

10:05 Attendance and Article

10:10 Adobe AM

Adobe Premiere is a professional video editing software. It’s widely used by video editors, filmmakers, and content creators for editing, organizing, and refining video footage. Premiere Pro offers a comprehensive set of tools for editing video and audio, adding effects, color correction, and transitions, as well as handling a wide range of file formats.

We will spend the first 20 minutes of Friday’s learning Premiere so we can incorporate it into our workflows.

10:30 Signing up for Free Sounds

  • Signing up for Free Sound account … which is … free.
  • Downloading and using a custom sound.

10:50 Morning Break (10 minutes)

11:00 Bouncing Balls and more…

Check back to the Wednesday Dayplan for specifics.

As we have had our English class canceled, I am going to offer a chance for extra credit with the bouncing balls and more project.

If you “Sound Design” your project, with logical and accurate impact sounds for your animation, I will boost your grade a full letter. So B work becomes an A, A work becomes a 105, etc.

12:10 Lunch

  • No food in the room / eat in the Cafe.
  • You are welcome to return to the room when you have finished eating and work / hang out.

12:40 Attendance and Article

12:45 Bouncing Balls and more…

Check back to the Wednesday Dayplan for specifics.

1:00 A Gentleman in Moscow

A Gentleman in Moscow is a reader’s dream — a wonder-full, nuanced story full of wit, insight, and imagination.

Read along with Mr. Cronin. Improve literacy, word decoding, enjoy a nice story, and unplug from the world.

1:20 Afternoon Break (10 minutes)

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

Bouncing Balls and more…

2:15 Dailies

2:20 “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 2:39 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.

2:40 Dismissal
