Honors 4-1-2014

Funny April Fool's joke period one. I was laughing all the way to the font office.

We took a close look at the first eLearning chat today and saw some strengths and weaknesses.  Overall it was a successful one.  Nice work.

Stay on schedule for your chats.  I posted a link to everyone's schedule on yesterday's blog.  Check it out if you have any doubts to your day or time.  Remember I need to see your chat questions before you have your chat.

We made some good progress in The Pearl today--10 pages with notes.  I like the way periods one and six are always throwing out ideas on what they see.  That makes for an active environment of learners.  Sure it might slow us down a bit, but it's great seeing all the insight and ideas shared.  Keep it up.  Join the fun period two.  Don't be bashful.  We'll take a day off tomorrow but be back in full force Thursday and Friday.

Tomorrow's focus will be the PI.  We will edit the scene for the last time and the poem for the first (and only) time.  Come prepared: scene and poem.  Then don't fall in love with anything you write at this stage.  It will make it very difficult to improve if you do.  Get that poem as far away as possible from the plot and elements of your scene.  Keep the theme, but otherwise, go in a completely different direction.  A 180.

See you soon.
