Mr. Cronin
Notes
- Welcome to Week 24! We are going to attempt to have our first 5 day school week since January. Let’s all make our “week_24” folders now.
- We will move our VR Stations back to “normal” tomorrow morning, in the final graded project for our VR/AR unit, getting things back to normal. If you won’t get your Final Project turned in today, and need to do any VR/AR work with the extra space back there, do it this afternoon. You can always do it along the rows, but much closer quarters.
- Hiring fair in library tomorrow at lunch 11:30-3. Summer job? Seniors need a job at graduation?

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.
11:40 DH 24: Bananas
So far we have looked at opaque objects (cup, saucer, bowl) and transparent objects (cup with water) that could hold another classic still life item – fruit!
This week we will look at a resource to draw a pair of bananas. Remember your goal is to follow the lesson and replicate the sketch as best you can – not give me your own take on 2 bananas.
Remember we have all sorts of art supplies at the art depot, so please make use of!
Do this early in the week, nothing is as big a waste of a time as rushing it without care or craft on a Monday morning.

12:55 Attendance and Article
1:00 Steve Jobs
Based on more than forty interviews with Steve Jobs conducted over two years–as well as interviews with more than 100 family members, friends, adversaries, competitors, and colleagues–Walter Isaacson has written a riveting story of the roller-coaster life and searingly intense personality of a creative entrepreneur
Read along with Mr. Cronin. Improve literacy, word decoding, enjoy a nice story, and unplug from the world.

Week 24 Agency

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
