Hello!
This week: This week we reviewed Illustrator and they continued working on Illustrator tutorials to stretch our Illustrator knowledge and skill level. These also help students become more well versed with other techniques. They were given the choice of 2 tutorials to complete. In the class discussion they asked for more review which leads us to our next week’s assignment below. Due: Illustrator Tutorial: Bus OR Milk and Cookies is due Sunday Coming up next week: Next week the4 students requested some review I Adobe Illustrator, so they will be working on worksheet refresher lessons using a variety of tools and skills in the program. I have assigned 8 worksheets and they will pick the 6 they feel would benefit them the most and complete. Reminder that Monday is a Teacher Workday! Great day for students to catch up on life, take a break, sleep in, etc…. Parent Site: www.scaleswhs.weebly.com for more! Please let me know if you have questions! Thanks so much!

This week:
This week we talked about their honors projects that are due at the end of the semester but that they will be working on all semester long. I have attached the 2 options that they are able to choose from and most decided today. Please ask your student which option they have chosen so you are aware and can support them. They can either do a Media Based Documentary about being an Advanced Studies student (either as video or print documenting) or a Tutorial Series (either video or print tutorials). I have also attached their contract that has to be signed by then, their parent, and teacher. Due: Illustrator Tutorial: Curious Owl is due Sunday Due: Illustrator Tutorial: Stylize Camera is due Sunday Coming up next week: Next week we will continue working on Illustrator tutorials to stretch our Illustrator knowledge and skill level. These also help students become more well versed with other techniques. And we will continue to talk about their honor projects and ensure that they have a plan for what they will do.

Hope these are helping!! If students have missing work you and they will see a 0 and a orange Missing indicator. I am reminding them about due dates every day in class but strongly suggest students check the Google Classroom Calendar as well to help keep track of due. If your student is struggling with how to get files turned in, please let me know so I can help. Other symbols you may see is a blue dot for incomplete, a green dot if they were absent, and a red dot if the assignment was submitted late. Parent Site: www.scaleswhs.weebly.com for more!

Adobe Creative Cloud: Next week I am going to ask the students to try to download the Adobe Creative Cloud software along with at least Adobe illustrator to start. Later they will also need Photoshop and InDesign. I have attached the directions on how to install the software. This can be installed on up to 2 computers but NOT on a Chromebook. Most students should already have access, if students don't, I will have as survey they will fill out to let me know if they were successful or not next Friday, Aug 28th. For those that have a 7-day trial option only, I will have to send their WakeIDs to Tech Services to get their Adobe Accounts activated.
