Catching Up on a Bunch of Stuff on Monday

Today is Monday. It is 7th period and I am in the Laramie Computer Lab, as usual. I did not much this weekend regarding school. I got my Computer Graphics Art Lesson Plan put together in case I needed to run it today, but in 2nd period, all of the kids started right in on their Flash Projects, so Mr. Jewett and I decided to wait until for a little bit to do my lesson with that class. I did nothing for my Business Methods class, even though there was a small paper due on Friday. I have no motivation at this point to do anything for that class. I should, but I don't.

3rd Period, we had Mr. Denise again, still. He is wrapping up his "Color and Templates" web project today and tomorrow. I will start my "Graphic Arts" project with 3rd Period on Thursday.

I started grading some of the projects for 5th and 6th period. Lots and lots of missing and broken links, missing pictures, etc. I gave the same talk to both classes this afternoon. I went over the rubric for the project in front of the class and explained how the project would be graded. I then offered a "look into the future" for any student that wanted to come up and take a preview look at their project and have me compare it to the rubric standards. About 15 or 20 kids in the two classes came up and asked for the preview. Most of these kids were the A students, but a couple of B and C kids came up as well and raised their grades by 10-15 points when they fixed missing pieces of their project.

Today is kind of "housecleaning" day, I guess...
