Day 20
DA Write Objective: I am finished coloring my storyboard. (assess yourself (1-5)
DA 21 – Free draw for 5 minutes. Draw anything you want…keep adding details until 5 minutes have passed. After 5 minutes, share your drawing with someone at your table. Find something your partner did really well and tell them.
Objective – I have finished my storyboard using colored pencil techniques like blending, hatching, scumbling (scribbling), stippling (pointillism) and cross hatching.
Finish the coloring of the storyboard. After color, they need to outline their drawings with the fine tip maker. (Nati Vati and Nacho Libre know how to do this.)
Any student who completes the storyboard should sign it in the bottom right hand corner and leave it on Ms. Amy’s desk. Then, begin researching for your Passion Project/Genius Hour Project independently until your partners have completed their project and can join you. Students can use their own technology or the iMacs for research. (If Android agrees, Uptown Funk and he can change groups – ask them about it.)
Keep a log of what you complete on the project, turn it in with your name(s) on it.
Any student done with BOTH the storyboard and the Genius Hour Project should type up the story that accompanies their storyboard. Then, free draw.
