FRI: Critiquing Photowalk III [SUB DAY]

Dang it, another Sub Day! 
You can do it!

Announcements: 
  • Student Cameraphone pictures have already been shared to kids who used it.  Look in your SHARED section of your Google Photos
  • Blog en español
  • NEXT MONDAY -  YOU MUST come to class, we will be learning the blog portfolio basics you need to be successful on TUESDAY because...
  • NEXT TUESDAY  -  I am out again but this time it was kinda planned, we just didn't know the date (another Union meeting) and you will be working on your Photo Blog Portfolio Project with the Photo Sub you know!
  • NEXT WEDS-FRI - We will finally complete our Oral Critiques and continue to build our Photo Blog Portfolios 
Homework: 
  • NONE
AGENDA:
  • IF YOU DO NOT HAVE ANY PHOTOWALK III PHOTOS DO THE FOLLOWING:
    • Think about what you are going to say to John about why because you are going to have a Grade Meeting with John and perhaps your parent/guardian
    • Then go to the last step and type for the entire time
      • Stay in your chair
      • Stay quiet
  • If you DO have some PHOTOWALK III PHOTOS DO THE FOLLOWING:
  • FIRST: Process your pictures from Photowalk III
    • SHARE them to your school account
    • GROUP ALL of them in an ALBUM named Photowalk III
    • SELECT the THREE you are going to critique
    • Put ALL THREE and ALL of the photos that you took trying to make those 3 photos into an album called Photowalk III Critiques
    • SHARE that properly named ALBUM to john@envisionacademy.org
      • Wrong name? Zero Credit because I won't even see it.
      • SELECT the SHARE MENU (3 BALLS W/ 2 LINES)
  • SECOND: Write your THREE Photo Critiques
    • If you run out of time to do all three remember that the quality of the first two will determine if that is OK or not.  All three photos need to be in the ALBUM for full credit though.
    • Your assignment is in classroom.google.com
    • Make sure you are in the CORRECT Google Classroom
    • Use THIS example to guide you in how to critique but
      • The part about the challenge doesn't apply (unless it does, meaning you COULD talk about how it answers a challenge)
    • NEW students do your BEST & don't trip!


  • LAST: When you have completed all three CRITIQUES do one of these quietly from your seat until the period ends
