Week 22 Day 1

Week 22 Day 1

Class Hours: 9:40 – 2:05
Mr. Cronin

Notes

  • Welcome to Week 22! After this week the next time we are together it will be March!
  • Women Can Do conference is running this spring – is there something of interest you may want to sign up for? May look great on college applications, or just to try something new.
  • Jack – today you need to be at the main CTE entrance at 1:25. Check your email. Better to get there a bit early. Plan on leaving around 1:20, hit the bathroom if you need to. You are looking for Mr. Dowman / Mr. Patterson. (Manufacturing co-op opportunity meeting.)

9:40 Attendance and Article

9:45 Presentations of Work

This morning we are going to turn off our screens and present the three CAWD Homework projects you completed while learning remotely. We have about 3 minutes per student so we will have to be expeditious.

This week Casey will be modeling appropriate constructive criticism.

Constructive criticism is the process of offering valid and well-reasoned opinions about the work of others, usually involving both positive and negative comments, in a friendly manner rather than an adversarial one.

We are going to separate the design from the designer. You can hate with a burning passion a colleague at work, but a professional designer can still give valid, relevant input.

Monitors off – let’s begin.

Supplemental Presentations

10:25 Mask Break (10 Minutes)

  • We are going to take a 10 minute break (seat to seat) outside to take our masks off and get some fresh air.
