Notes

  • Thursday!
  • Remember that we are hosting pre-tech students today while you are in English, please log out of anything you don’t want people snooping in.

10:05 Attendance and Article

10:10 Pin Work Time

Today we are going to start working on some design elements that are showing up in this pin, just to see what we can create together.

We will start with text – required text for the design is:

  • SkillsUSA
  • Vermont
  • 2025

Let’s download a custom font. Let’s play with some text warping? Let’s see if we can get to this point today:

12:55 Attendance and Video

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.

Week 14 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
