This week's assignments...and grades!

Your travel brochure is due on Tuesday. We will print them all and you will be assigned one brochure to critique in writing on Friday. This will count as a test grade. Brush up on your composition terminology.

When you have finished your brochure, begin working on the tutorial of your choice for www.worth1000.com . There are some really great things there to choose from. I will grade this like a project, so do a nice job. This will be due on Friday. I will take into account the difficulty level of the tutorial you choose when I grade them. This will be your first grade of the last grading period!

For next week, be thinking of a poem, story, or song lyrics you can illustrate with photography. Your photos will be due on Monday, April 14th---your first deadline grade of the last grading period. You'll put the text together with your best photo (or combination of images) and make a poster! Final poster will be due April 18th.

Some of you really need to concentrate on getting your grades up. Make sure to meet your deadlines! Although it's only a small percentage of your final grade, it can make a big difference if you're constantly late. A single deadline grade can bring your score for the grading period down a point or two. A row of deadline zeroes can bring you down a letter grade or more! Same with participation grades----Make sure you're on task! Make good use of your class time. If you have completed the current project, work ahead or spend your time practicing in PhotoShop. That will always be considered 'on task'---even if you're just goofing off making silly pictures. You are learning by doing!
