Notes
- Anything that you wish credit for (high school AND college grades remember) has to be turned in by 2:15 today – before reading. When you walk out that door (I am gesturing) today your grade is what it is!
- Next Thursday is Recognition Night! Make sure your family and friends are aware and you have off work. The event is nice, people in this room are going to earn awards, and we take our class photo at the end of the night.

1:25 Speed Design
Speed Designs are 15 minute sprints in GAWD where we practice. It could be any medium – 3D, 2D, video, programming, etc.
1:40 Last Looks for Quarter 4!
Anything you want credit for – have to have it today / like – NOW.
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
