Tonight's homework

Everyone should come into class tomorrow with their script (biography) completed and ready to record. Ensure that you have practiced reading your script and gotten comfortable with it. Remember that it should read comfortably (not too fast or too slow) for 1:50-2:10(one minute-fifty seconds to two minutes-ten seconds).

Good Luck!

Snow Day, Giants beat the Cowboys, and the Person of the Renaissance!

Well, enjoy the day off!

How about those Giants! I don't normally say anything about my sports teams here on my teacher-site, (look for Red Sox references and I don't think you will find any!) But the Giants beating the almighty Cowboys in the first ever post season meeting between the two teams is too awesome to let go! On to Green Bay!

Now this week...we will be working on a task called "The Person of the Era." We will spend all week in the lab creating short, two-minute videos on the person we have chosen as our Person of the Renaissance! We will also fit in a team-test competition.

Enjoy today. Make a snowman, go sledding, shovel and make some $$(that's what we used to do, back in the day!) or stay inside and read (or play guitar hero all day,) just be ready to work hard tomorrow!
