Schedule update for honors:

Wordwright 4 will be Tuesday instead of Monday this week.

Vocab 10 words will come out on Wed/Thurs this week.


ELA 10:
Case study for Vocab this week is Case 11: Unauthorized Dumping.  We mentioned it in class as the likely case, but this is confirmation, so you can read it using a packet or online.

Still no guarantee on book reinforcements, but highly recommend you grab a class copy during your hour when there is time.  "Friends" and "Felicity" will always be on Netflix, but you don't have a ton of time left in here.

Here is the grading rubric for your project.  I will include notes as well.

Original Piece Choice: ________/10

Following directions:  ________/20 
-All design, written, and hand-in requirements fulfilled
-No banned practices (photoshop/digital editing, models beyond your group members, etc.) used
-Digital copies of original/replication, poem/questionnaire, and documentary shared with me

Presentation/Display:_________/30
-Required elements are organized and obvious thought and care has been put into their layout and execution
-Creativity, precision, style, and sophistication are all evident and well planned in both attempt and execution
-There is an obvious correlation between process photos and your recreation (Process photos illustrate elements of the recreation that enhance the understanding of how your project was achieved)
-Your presentation/display is a well-rounded, articulate representation of the scope of the entire project from your group’s perspective

Written material:  _________/40 
 -Questionnaire – typed, numbered, thorough answers; quality of writing and thought is evident and well represented and is reflective of the expectations we have established regarding detail, depth, clarity, explanation, and formal academic voice.
 -Poem- level of effort and seriousness is evident, required elements are met, a clear “story” is created with the artwork as the inspiration
- The tone/mood of the poem complements the tone/mood of the piece as interpreted by the group

Replication: __________/50     
-Exactness of details             
-Apparent effort/inventiveness
-Resourceful use of technical (lighting, props, editing, etc.) and artistic (makeup, costume, filters, etc.) elements
-Balance between faithful recreation and attention to detail (you don’t sacrifice the overall look of the recreation because you obsessed over one element)
-Overall appearance in regard to the original
-Balance of compromise between variables you had control over, and those you did not.

                   
“Making of” documentary:__________/ 30
-The video must be 4-5 minutes in length, and must document the entire process of your replication project.
-The video must be edited/produced using editing software (imovie, etc.) that is compatible with your macbook and can easily be shown in class using Airplay.  In other words, you must be able to sign on to airplay and show it yourself.
-While on camera (live in the moment) commentary is fine, this element of the project should not be a distraction to the overall goal.  Your documentary must have a scripted voiceover narration.  The sequencing of your script should reflect the structure of a well written paper.
-A combination of production structure/quality (voiceover, transitions, music/sound, etc.) and content ( organization of clips, insightful narration, introductory and concluding thoughts on the project, etc.) will be used to determine credit.
-The movie should highlight elements of your project that are not readily apparent from the viewing of the final product.  This could include, but is not limited to: areas where you improvised, items that are not what they seem, difficulties, unique/innovative problem solving, sourcing of props/costumes/backgrounds, etc.

Monday, April 1, 2019

Remember, this is THE week for the art replication projects.  You must bring all components to class on Wed (3,5,7) and Thurs (2) and be ready to discuss.  Again, absence of a group member is not a valid reason for not having a project component ready.  Airplay reliability has been very spotty recently, so definitely prepare to speak live about your project.  We will watch the videos at some point if airplay isn't working in class that day.

Wordwright 4 will be Thursday, April 4 for hours 4 and 6.  2,3,5,7 will be Monday of next week.
Wordwright study words: ebb, thrash, wistful, diction, progression, pace, internal rhyme, nostalgic, metaphorical, aquatic, tidewater, onomatopoeia, earnest, connotation, context, iambic, pedantic, feminine rhyme, assonance, haughty, analogy, wary, alliteration, imperative, paradox, security

Time to make your book choices.  Slaughterhouse Five, Fast Food Nation, Lord of the Flies are your options.  This will primarily be an in-class assignment.

Check Skyward for 0's.  Some grades are significantly affected by 0's right now.  You need to check with me for makeup options.  ALL 0's can be made up, but you have to do it.
