Beginning the Baby Project

Posted by Robert Griffith | Monday, March 29, 2010 | , , , ,

Today we have several things to get done:
  • First, we need to do your "Well Baby Checkup".  Today I will sign your baby, sign your "Well Baby" form, take your baby's picture, and give you any last-minute guidance for the project.
  • Next, you need to work on MicroType Pro (Lesson A Measurement Writing -- see picture below).  When you have a score (with 2 errors or less) show it to me and I will write it down for todays typing grade.  If you increase your speed and/or accuracy, show me your updated score.  You will have a typing grade for today, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.
  • Add a new post to your "baby blog" answering the following questions: How do you feel about having to do the baby project?  What do you think you will learn with this project?  Were there any difficulties getting started?  If you were the teacher, what would you have done different before we started?

  • We have a Guest Speaker from Academy of Art University coming tomorrow (Tuesday).  They have courses in Art, Architecture, Fashion, Game Design, Motion Pictures, Multimedia, Music, Photography, and Web Design.
  • Finally, a brief word about "Guest Speaker Etiquette".  I am grateful when a guest speaker is willing to come all the way to Lake County to visit our school.  Although I am pretty easy-going on a regular day, I expect polite, respectful behavior when I have a guest speaker
    • Keep computers off.
    • Do not make random or off-topic comments.
    • Do not ask random or off-topic questions.
    • Be quiet when he/she is speaking or presenting material.
    • Be interested -- or at least act like you are.
    • Failure to follow these rules will result in a lower grade and a loss of privileges.
