Notes
- Wednesday? How did it go? I received good notes, and everyone got their dailies in on time – though Dominic was within 8 seconds the 2:00 cutoff.
- Would anyone like to stay for the Cawd Homework Club? Remember that if you are missing anything you are required to stay after and get caught up / get extra help. I have 10 students that are after school today … or are getting me their late work / emailing me before 2:05.

9:45 Morning Transferable and Employable Skills Conversation
This morning I want to have a conversation regarding our Transferable and Employable Skills Rubric. Right now everyone has a chance to get to “A” level, and that was my goal for the first sprint from August to now.
As we have gone through 6 weeks of the new system so far I want to revise what we are using and let everyone know ahead of time:
- How not turning in a single project is going to impact your TE grade for that week.
- How not turning in multiple projects is going to impact your TE grade for that week.
- Differentiating between:
- 0 articles read / comments
- 1 article read / comments
- 2+ article read / comments
- How would we start to look at “exceeding” – can we pick one of the rows and build in an option for students to exceed in and earn a “4”?
The goal is we honor the work that you do, while at the same time we hold you accountable a rigorous Cawd experience. I want to have a productive conversation as a class and create something we can all live with, while at the same time being as genuine as possible to the engagement and learning in the room.

- Study for the Quiz

1:10 Week 7 Low Poly Group Work
We have 2 afternoons left in the Group Game Environment projects!
We are going to start with a short team meeting led by Trevor, Michael and Conor.
Next I want to meet with all 3 CD’s individually for a quick check-in to make sure we are going to hit our Thursday PM deadline.
All team members create folder called “lowPolyFinal” inside “week_07” with renders of anything you created you want credit for. The better job you do at showing off your work in attractive renders, the better you work looks, the higher your grade. Name logically.
If you are the Level Designer I want you to minimum of 5 print screens in the game environment. Name logically, and place in the same “lowPolyFinal” folder inside “week_07”.
Extra Credit Opportunity – find a way to create a walk through video of your software using screen cast software. If you give me a 60 second (or more) clip exploring and showing off your world – I give the entire group an letter of extra credit to their final individual production grades. Upload this to the Level Designer’s “lowPolyFinal” folder. Help each other figure this out!
2:00 Dailies
