10:05 Attendance and Article

10:10 Adobe AM

Thursday’s during our morning session we are going to use for Adobe work, getting comfortable with the different programs and workflows that are found out there.

Adobe makes a wide range of software which is found in our industries, and we will get a handle on the meat and potato’s, the most used pipelines.

Today I want to focus on:

  • Adjusting text opacity effects in Premiere to reinforce visual message – connects to our GAWD Facial Animation Project.
  • Making Jacob a DJ background in Illustrator

Check back to the Wednesday Dayplan for specifics.

11:25 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.

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.
