Technology Class: Nov 28 - Dec 2
Note to self: Getting sick is no fun...try to avoid in the future.
I have only been at school for 2 days this week, so there is not a ton to report. I feel bad that I was feeling so bad...the kids suffered as much as I did because they didn’t get a chance to have computer class...
...and there is some fun stuff starting up.
Kindergarten: No Class
1st Grade: No Class
2nd Grade: No Class
3rd Grade: 3A - No class
3B – We talked about the Internet today. We discussed how the Internet works and concentrated specifically on the World Wide Web. We then talked about Google and did some activities on Google. Ask the kids about “I’m Feeling Lucky”. Then I set them free on Google to research info on their science projects.
4th Grade: No Class
Homework: Typing logs due next week.
5th Grade: No Class
Homework: Typing logs due next week.
6th Grade: We finished up our Powerpoint presentations this week. The kids did real well again. I will reiterate what I have said before: These kids are amazing. This was an advanced topic and they ran with it...way to go.
Homework:
7th Grade: We began talking about Computer Animation today. We talked about the project they will be creating starting in January and what I expect. Then we discussed how Animation really works and how we are going to make things a whole lot easier. We then discussed Disney’s 12 principle of good animation and analyzed a clip from The Simpsons...I think the kids are going to have a lot fun with this.
Homework:
8th Grade: We began our Film Studies this week. We started off by talking about the new Tech website and how to find things, then discussed the extra credit that was available by coming up with categories for the Student Link Exchange. We then jumped into our film studies...this time: Camera Shots and Framing. We defined shots such as Extreme Long Shot, Close Up, etc by going to a website I created for my Master’s Degree...to check it out go to http://www.wornickjds.org/tech/movies . Then we viewed some movies and analyzed them from a camera shot perspective.
Homework: 1. Typing Logs are due next week
2. Movie HW:
Part 1 - Watch a movie
As you are watching the movie, pick a scene and analyze how the camera shots are used to bring you into the movie...
Part 2 - Write an email
Write a 3 paragraph email about your analysis.
Paragraph 1 - Describe the movie and the scene
Paragraph 2-3 - Analyze the scene in terms of the camera shots used.
