Come sign up for a slot to present your work to me. You will have to transfer it over to my computer before you present them to me. Sign up slots are first come first serve. If you can't sign up in a spot properly, you will be one of the first people to present.

Take the Short survey.

Short Answer Semester End Reflection

As always, use several full sentences to answer these questions.

How could (or have) the things you've done this semester aid you for other classes or other possibilities in your future? Which assignment or project was the most challenging? Why? Which assignment did you enjoy more than others? Why?

Yearbook Today

Work diligently on your projects and impress the substitute. Like every sub day you will have in here, it counts as a quiz grade. Your grade for the day will be based on two things; a- one the sub reports on you, b- what you show me on your blog for what you did today.

For a good grade, make sure you impress him and me. If you can not stay on task, there is an alternate assignment of reading and comparing documents in essay format. Behavior problems will result in detentions. You do NOT need to leave the room today. ocus on getting the pictures you have edited and uploaded, the content written, the layout complete, and the page approved.

Mugshots (except seniors) have been loaded into the yearbook program already. You should be able to figure out approximately which ones go on your page if you count. We may have to change an image or two here or there, but you'll have most of it done already at least.

Don't forget, you're running low on time...
Open lab on Saturday (starting at around 10:30 or so), and Monday.
Your page MUST be finished by the last class day for a good grade this six weeks,
even more so if you've opted out of the paper final.

Don't forget you need to have your page signed off on, as this is a separate grade of equal importance. You are just about out of class days, you need to start getting this taken care of, or you will run out of time. There are quite a few of you, if you all wait til next week to ask them, a lot of you probably won't have you work signed off. You need to make the most of your class time. Waiting til the last minute is how you end up with grades you aren't happy with. If you've been applying your time as you should, you've had approximately six weeks to work on your page. You are responsible for your page, get help is great, by in the end, you need to make sure it's done. Your page should be amazing by now. Make it amazing now, if it isn't already.

Don't forget your daily blog post!! A good post is required for a good grade. Your blog wouldn't work? You have hands, explain what you got accomplished on paper. Page locked? You, and your classmates, should be able to unlock your page most the time. Try to unlock it, if it wont let you, try relogging in, or asking a classmate to see if it will let them.

Yearbook 12/8

Continue Working on your yearbook page.

Don't forget it needs to be ready for printing by Dec. 17th.

Ready for printing? You need to have your page approved. As soon as someone can sign off on it, start getting signatures. Are your pictures done? Talk to the Dir. of Photography. Writing complete? Talk to the Dir. of Writing. Layout complete? Talk to the Dir. of Design. If you wait til next Friday you'll be out of luck. You have about a week until the deadline, waiting til the last minute will only get you burned. You've been given 3 weeks to finalize the page, after already having 3 weeks to do what you could on it. This is a big grade!

Don't forget your daily blog post. Let me know what you got accomplished today. What do you still need to do? How close are you to be finished? How many signatures do you still need?
