Period 3 / 3-D / Wind chimes
Vocabulary quiz. Continued working on clay pieces from sketches in their journal. See fish, leaves, keys, and hearts as motifs.
Period 4 / Pre-IB / Perspective
Studied for vocabulary quiz from journal. Noticed this class the majority have spiral notebooks to write in and then transfer to journal. Continued working on 2 point perspective boxes in class. 10/8 assignment is to do homework on 2 point perspective shapes with cutouts.
Period 5 / Photography I & II, AP, IB / Project 2
Vocabulary quiz. Continued to work on photos, projects with journals out to record findings.
I asked teacher if he found students to be intimated by the blank pages of the journal and he said yes at the beginning of journaling the students are overwhelmed and need encouragement. This is why he walks around and looks at their journals and projects on a daily basis. He is very much hands on. He keeps a coffee pot brewing all day long and refills his cup every so often. I think this is a secret for all his energy, lol. When grading students come up to his desk with journal and project. The teacher looks for the parts that he requires, heading, date & page numbers, vocabulary words, sketches, requirements of the project, and research. He will write in their journal if they are missing something to remind them later to include these parts or refine. The grade for the project is written in their journal, his hard copy grade book, and the computer grade book.
