Team, Be thinking this week about what face-to-face performance tasks are essential to student learning and essential to your proficiency of standards. Also, please find out appropriately which of your students are able to utilize their own transportation to the HS (car, walk/bike) versus how many of them are bus dependent during the week day.
I will be sending you an invitation for an after school meeting to be held on Tuesday of next week to discuss the development of our limited, in-person plan for CTE. Be prepared to discuss the transportation needs of your students, and the frequency with which you would LIKE (optimal) to see your students F2F and frequency with which you can appropriately evaluate (minimal) proficiency.
Thank you!D

Pixar's 22 Rules of Storytelling
1. Admire characters for attempting more than what their successes have been.
2. Keep in mind what’s interesting to you as an audience, not what’s fun as a writer. They can be very different.
3. Trying for theme is important, however you won’t see what the story is about until you’re at the end of that story. Got it? Now rewrite.
4. Once upon a time there was…… Every day, ……One day……Because of that, …… Until finally……
5. Simplify. Focus. Combine characters. Hop over detours. You’ll feel like you’re losing valuable stuff but it sets you free.
6. What is your character good at or comfortable with? Throw the polar opposite at him. Challenge him. How does he deal with it?
7. Come up with your ending before you figure out your middle. Seriously. Endings are hard. Get yours working up front.
8. Finish your story. Let go even if it’s not perfect. In an ideal world, you have both, but move on. Do better next time.
9. When you’re stuck, make a list of what wouldn’t happen next. More often than not, the material that gets you unstuck appears.
10. Pull apart the stories you like. What you like in them is part of you. Recognise it before you use it.
11. Why must you tell this story in particular? What’s the belief burning within you that your story feeds off? That’s the heart of it.
12. Discount the 1st thing that comes to mind. And the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th — get the obvious out of the way. Surprise yourself.
13. Give your characters opinions. A character being passive or malleable is easy for you as a writer, but it’s poison to your audience.
14. What’s the essence of your story? What’s the most economical way of telling of it? If you know that, you can build out there.
15. If you were your character, in this situation, how would you feel? Honesty lends credibility to unbelievable situations.
16. What are the stakes? Give us reason to root for the character. What happens if he doesn’t succeed? Stack the odds against him.
17. No work is ever wasted. And if it’s not working, let go and move on — if it’s useful, it’ll show up again.
18. You have to know yourself, and know the difference between doing your best & being fussy. Story is testing, not refining.
19. Coincidences that get characters into trouble are great. Coincidences that get them out of it is cheating.
20. Exercise. Take the building blocks of a movie you dislike. How would you rearrange them into what you DO like?
21. Identify with your situation/characters. Don’t write “cool.” What would make YOU act that way?
22. Putting it on paper only allows you to start fixing it. If a perfect idea stays in your head, you’ll never share it with anyone.

- Finish the curriculum a week early. If you finish the curriculum a week early, you'll have time to use the ACATestPrep quizzes and reviews most effectively. Wait until the last minute and you won;t know what you need to review! Finish every project, and watch every video.
- Do the prep quizzes and review in the box below.
- Relax on testing day. Stressing on testing day can lower your score as much as not studying or finishing all the projects. If you watch all the videos, do all the projects, and spend time reviewing, you've got a darn good chance of passing! If you don't...you're rolling the dice! Don't gamble on this, especially if you don't get to test again if you don't pass the first time (many people don't pass the first time, but do on the second.)
- TO PREPARE, DO THE FOLLOWING LISTED BELOW (they are assignments &you will receive a grade for doing them)
- FINISH WATCHING THE VIDEOS AND DOING THE UNIT PROJECTS
- ACA Test Prop Planning: Project Planning
- Show me the screen AFTER you have viewed the Photoshop Visual Dictionary
- Show me the screen AFTER you have viewed 17 Essential Terms Every Photoshop Beginner Needs to Know
- https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/essential-photoshop-terms/
- Complete the Quizlet - all 112 questions and show me your screen for the grade. 300 points.
- FINISH WATCHING THE VIDEOS AND DOING THE UNIT PROJECTS. I will do the Last Unit - #9 in class with you on Thurs/Fri Jan 9 & 10. Then you will take the QUIZ, turn-in a screen shot of your score with YourName as the name of the file. Lesson Plan
