PJ handed in his 6 x 6 which made me happy. It turned out well. I'm glad I trusted that he was on the path and he actually was. I was prepared to write up Rachel but she was helping with her partner today so I let it slide. She doesn't want to make her own book, but at least she is helping someone else and participating.
I went down to the chorus room and spoke with the chorus teacher prior to first period. I have also been getting the mail before class begins to hand things out in homeroom that have been in Jeff's mailbox. The chorus teacher came back 3rd period with $1200 in equipment for recording narratives onto CD. He's letting me borrow it and set it up for me in the middle room in between Jeff and Jamie's room. Were going to record the narratives tomorrow for both storyboard classes. I can't wait. Some people are going to resist it but it should be fun. I'm putting together a video so we can all watch and see what everyone came up with. It will also get everyone working together, and influencing and having involvement in the overall project.
One student asked how long I was staying and how long we're working on the project. I told the one until May 4th she was like awe that's only three more weeks. The other student I kind of kept the project going and am throwing new things at them with each step so they aren't overwhelmed.
The graphic design class. I gave one student an idea to work with the slogan "Sharpen Your Pencil" and talked to him about imagery for it. Now that we are spending more time on it some new ideas are coming about and we are getting to work on deepening the design and meaning this second time around.
It's like American Idol, they will all be voted down to one. Should be fun. Kevin who's a special needs kid in the class came up with a good one when he saw someone scanning money. He thought of save dough. Like save money with a dough image. I liked it. We brought limes, clocks and money.
The class doing liquid latex is mostly still drawing out their old man images and is just beginning to add their first layer of latex.
