- Top 3 things you did on vacation?
- I put my greenhouse out for the season and started my plantings for the spring.
- I went in a jacuzzi in Smugs that overlooked the snow.
- My daughter won a basketball tournament and was all tourment team and got all sorts of medals and trophies.
- We come back half-way through this week, so we aren’t having a “full week”.
- Wednesday – focus on remembering what we were doing, turning in work, and Critiques.
- Thursday and Friday – Skills Design Competition
- No specific Web Project or DH this week. We are going to have Agency work and Skills Work only this week. Coming back on Wednesday…
- I am HAPPY to say that my wife can drive sort of (it’s a bit terrifying sure) but I don’t have to leave early anymore. We are back to it all:
- Design Competitions
- Presented Dailies
- Reading together
- Etc.

Week 22 Agency

We are going to use all the way up to break for our Last Looks as we are coming back from vacation.
10:50 Morning Break (10 minutes)
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.
Whatever we don’t present today, I will finish up on my own – we just have too much to do and lost 2 days.
11:35 Lunch
- No food in the room / eat in the Cafe.
- You are welcome to return to the room when you have finished eating and work / hang out.

12:40 1984
Nineteen Eighty-Four (1984) is a dystopian novel by George Orwell that explores totalitarianism, mass surveillance, and the manipulation of truth through the story of Winston Smith in the superstate of Oceania, ruled by the omnipresent Party and its figurehead, Big Brother.
Read along with Mr. Cronin. Improve literacy, word decoding, enjoy a nice story, and unplug from the world.
1:00 Afternoon Break (15 minutes)

Week 23 Agency

1:20 Dailies
1:25 “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.
1:45 Dismissal
