Friday, September 13th

Class Hours: 10:05 – 2:40
Mr. Cronin

Notes

  • Happy Friday!
  • Again, pulled out the teacher reading activities, as you know… – Oh yeah, Friday the 13th in all. I do need to record some Friday the 13th tonight, Part 1 and 2 are good….

10:05 Attendance

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 Friday Morning Pass Fail

In Blender create a traffic cone, copy a couple of times to create a scene, and incorporate a low Depth of Field effect.

When you have this done raise your hand and I will come and check you off. I can see the render, or I can see rendered view in Blender.

Remember you have already failed this activity, and the only way to remove the F is to show me your work by the end of your day here – which is different for different people based on schedules! Don’t try to slink out…

Here was my example:

Once complete get to work on your CAWD Assignments for the week!

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
