Mr. Cronin
Notes
- Welcome to Week 16, 2026, January – all of it!
10:05 Attendance and Article
10:10 Last Looks
We are going to have all the way up to break for Last Looks. Getting up was hard today for me too.
Last looks is when I give students time to upload their completed work to the weekly folder on the public, in a folder that is your last name. Remember we aren’t doing any work today – this is just when we turn it in. Plan on not doing more than scan / upload each Monday morning – and the scanner may have a line!
Adding the Enemy into the game…

10:50 Morning Break
11:00 Critiques
Each week we will upload our work on Monday. I will then present your work to the class. Each project I will pick a student to practice 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.
11:30 3 Point Perspective Review
11:50 DH16: Looking up in 3 Point Perspective
Last week we looked down from high up, this week we are going to look up from a worms eye perspective.
VP1 and VP2 on the far left and right, with VP3 being at the top of the page. It could be a skyscraper, it could be a castle tower, it could be something organic – up to you.
Save your file as lastNameDH_16.jpg.

12:50 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.
1:10 Afternoon Break

Week 16 Agency

2:15 Dailies
2:20 “19 Minutes”
Every day in GAWD will end with “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 the end I will 3 students and ask for a 1 sentence explanation of what happened.
2:40 Dismissal
