Happy Halloween!
No Starter Exhibition Planning in Committees Get in committees and refresh what was talked about the last planning day. Choose one person to report ideas to the class so other groups can understand what else is being planned. Using this document, answer the questions to further your project planning. One person per group needs to take notes. Ask other groups or the teacher if you have questions. Our next planning session will be on Nov. 8. What needs to happen sooner rather than later for a fully formed exhibition to come together? Project Work Time Meet with Cameron for feedback on your outline and make changes. Start working on your Rough Draft. Sign up on the board for a time to talk with Cameron about your project progress or if you need help brainstorming. When you have a finalized version of your mask design, have Cameron approve it and then you can alternate between decorating your mask and writing your rough draft. Expectations for work time: Classroom is quiet to let others focus; if you need to talk, speak quietly or at a whisper. Headphones with music is okay. If it is too loud, you will be asked to move seats or the assigned seats will be changed for the whole class. Ask 3 classmates and read the directions before bringing a question to the teacher. If art materials are used, they need to be cleaned up. This includes brushes rinsed, sinks and desks cleaned, and materials placed back in their homes. Sign up on the whiteboard to conference with me. Revisit the project checklist and your goals if you are unsure what to work on. Upcoming Due Dates: Final Mask Design Tuesday 11/1 Essay Rough Draft Friday 11/4 If you have not turned in your outline or novel with annotations, do that today (5 min) Starter #33: What is your goal for work time in class today?

I would suggest everyone to sign up for a time to talk; it will be to help you refine ideas for your mask and essay. You must advocate for your needs as we work on this project; I do not always know that you are struggling unless you tell me.
