Seniors-thank you for all of your hard work and commitment to making wonderful films and works of art for my class. I know a lot of you have spent A LOT of time on my assignments-and if I haven't already told you enough I REALLY APPRECIATE IT and THANK YOU!!!!!! I appreciate all of you help with making the Magazine, helping at the Fine Arts Fair and at the Film Festival. All 3 were a huge success thanks to all of you. I hope you will come back next year to visit me as you are all welcome anytime. And lastly I hope that you will share with me any wonderful films and photos you take beyond High School. I would love to see your future accomplishments. I hope you enjoyed my class and took something away from it. BEST OF LUCK TO YOU ALL!
Senior Blogs due Wednesday. Underclassman Blogs due on Monday.
Final-End of Year blog:
Here is what you should have by the end of the year plus all other movies listed below on a recent blog:
1. Class Competition Movie
2. Movie Posters
3. Final Movies
4. End Page-Reflection on the year and course in general-this page should be a reflection on the course, what you have learned and taken from the course. Here is what I'd like to see on this page. (This section is worth 50 points-so make sure you elaborate and write a lot, the more you write and answer my questions thoroughly the more points you will get)
1-I want a section on your personal accomplishments and growth from the time you entered my classroom to today. How have you gotten better and in what areas have you grown. Be specific, reference films you have made and in what areas you improved and explain how.
2- If you have any tips, tricks, how-to's or websites that you think I would find helpful to use in the future, please list them here.
3-I also would like you to write a section on how you think the course could be improved upon. What did we not do that you would have liked to do? What would you have liked to do more of or have learned that you didn't? In what areas do you feel I should learn more to make the course better? I appreciate any constructive criticisms you guys give me as I know I am not perfect and have a lot to learn and the only way for me to get better at what I do is to know what I am doing wrong or need to learn more about to make the course better.
4-And lastly tell me what you loved about the course. What were your favorite things that we did that I should make sure I do again next year-you can list anything from field trips to projects or prep-work for assignments (like paint balling in class).
5-And of course make the page pretty by adding one of your favorite pictures from the school year-whether it was one you took or a class picture that you like and are proud to put on your blog site.
I hope you will use these blogs as references in the future and as an online portfolio of what you created in high school in film and photography-the BEST class ever :)
