Dear Classes -
I am away today. I hate being away but it will happen over the course of the semester. This year I am going to try posting my lesson plans to you so you can get a sense of what I am looking for. If you come up against technical problems or issues it is always best to contact me through Twitter or through Waterworks email.
PERIOD A: TGJ 4MI
Pitches and proposals are postponed till tomorrow. Assume that your ideas are accepted and that we will tweak the focus. Start doing your research, planning, creating your 'design bible' or file of resources. No equipment is to be signed out with a supply teacher but you can send me an email requesting equipment.
I am also assigning the reading and viewing for this weeks Seminar. It is on the seminar page. It is less work than last week. The focus is looking at representation and in this case representation of women. Please spend some time on the Images of Women page to understand the common techniques of how women are presented in our media. (It looks like MentorMob just went down - let me know if it is not working this morning. I can always tweet out the links I want you to look at).

Heads up: We will be our large class projects this week so there will be more to balance with your time so make the most of it.
PERIOD B: TGJ 2OI
1) Please download complete the e-hand out "Webhunt for Colour". You can complete it with a partner and save it to your documents. We will take it up tomorrow. It should take about 30 minutes to complete. Please keep track of the sources that you use and use more than just wikipedia.
2) Continue working on your background for an animation in photoshop. Our goal will be to use it to test out animation in another software. Be sure to keep your layers separate. If you are finished your background, I would expect you to go back and revise. Try to change, perfect and polish the background. I will be asking you to submit this for assessment as part of your photoshop portfolio.
BROADCASTING - TGJ 3MI / ASM 3OI

B. Working on your own using Audacity, edit:
1. a 30 second version of the streeters (you can take out the questions)
- save as an .mp3 file with the file structure of lastname_streeter.mp3. For example my file would be called doelman_streeter.mp3.
2. Find what you consider the3 most powerful soundbites of the interview. These soundbites should be 5 - 25 seconds in length.
- save as an .mp3 file with the file structure lastname_soundbite2.mp3,
lastname_soundbite3.mp3, lastname_soundbite1.mp3, 3. Edit the interview to shorten it to 2 minutes.
- save as an.mp3 with the file struture last name_shortinterview.mp3
4. If you get done all this, you can try writing a script that introduces and closes the interview that would be recorded with your voice. We would do the recording tomorrow.
