Blog Entry Wednesday Through Friday

If you have questions about what is going on watch the screen cast that outlines the project guidelines for this week.  That video is on Tuesday's entry.  Every student has already watched it twice. It covers everything.  The art walk will begin on Monday.  The rubric for the project and the script writing prompt are being added to the Project Procedure document today.

Tuesday Class

Today in science we continue the design process of our project. Here is today's procedure:

Design one art piece that reflects relationships in an ecosystem.

Product Idea: Students are allowed to choose “art” of their choice to fulfil the challenge. However, we are encouraging the use of “Stop Animation” as the focus
