Week One is in the can

I thought the title of this particular post was very appropriate because of the allusion to movie making and the heavy use of technology in my classes this semester.

Assignments:
Modern Media went on a little field trip today around the school to demonstrate "noise" in the communication process. Students were partnered up and one was blindfolded, taking away their visual communication behavior and making them rely on the acoustic communication from their partners. We had no major mishaps and when we returned all students wrote a two paragraph reflection on the experience.

English 10 continued creating their websites and working on their assignments today. All assignements can be found here.

Creative Writing took a quiz over the notes we took on figurative language on Thursday. They then were to complete items 3 and 4 on their assignment page. Many did not finish so we will continue on Monday.

Next week we will be starting blogging in creative writing and english10 as long as everyone gets their permission slips in.
