Mr. Cronin
Vermont SkillsUSA Design Competitions tomorrow morning!
- Classroom opens at 7am
- Plan to arrive by 7:30am – get breakfast
- Be in your seat by 7:45ish
- Business Casual – all competitors – see below
- Game Teams arrive at normal time – 9:30 the room will be open. First presentations are at 10:10am
- Lunch will be delivered to GAWD
What to wear: You should wear professional attire for the competition on Tuesday. Would you show up to your first day on the job in a sweatshirt and pajama bottoms? I think not.
Details: Pants not shorts. A dress shirt. Polo or button down is good. Pants are required. While the SkillsUSA National competition outlines white shirt and black pants, we are allowing some leeway since the competition is primarily in house. Business Casual. Please don’t buy anything. I have SkillsUSA Polos and can give your one if you don’t think you have a shirt that will pass. Talk to me today if you need a shirt to wear.
Topic draft today at 10:15!
You will model, animate, render, and upload the completed animation by 2:20 today!
Call your file lastNameLastNameFinalPractice.mp4 and upload to the Week 28 Skills folder.
This is your last day of development. You have 10 minutes tomorrow, not a second over.
Work on the presentation – how are you going to sell your game? If your game has amazing puzzles, sell puzzles. If your game has amazing amazing art, sell your art. Sell whatever you are good at and spent time on.
Work on the Game. At 10:00 tomorrow you will be leaving your computer with the games / presentations on the screen ready to go. Get everything to that point!

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
