Announcements

Mean Girls Assessment Grades: I have started grading this assignment and will have them all done by next Tuesday. I am using a detailed rubric and entering in grades into IC as I complete. I won't enter grades into google classroom.  You will be able to refine them if you choose next week but will need to set up a time to conference with me if you think you need additional feedback beyond the rubric and student example I provide.
​

SLC Reminders! Tomorrow night!

What are SLC's?  A time for you to reflect on your academic and social well-being with your parents. Rather than traditional parent-teacher conferences, we empower students to take ownership over their learning.
Time: 30 minutes between 4 and 6 pm (Libby sent out a sign-up email for your parents and you to choose your time slot)
Where: Torrey's, Jenny's and Ashley's classrooms
Date: Tomorrow, Tuesday, October 19th
What do you need to bring?

• Laptop
• Your parent/guardian
• Positive attitude and willingness to take ownership for your learning!

What should you wear? Professional Dress!

• Button down shirt with tie OR a shirt with a finished neck/blouse/nice sweater
• Dark socks to match trousers
• Skirt or dress
• No sneakers or excessively high heels

*Talk to Erin Skyles  if you need help!!! 
What do you need to do to prepare?
Nothing!  We have a set of questions that you'll discuss with your parents/guardians regarding your experience thus far at Animas.  Just be ready to think deeply and be honest!​

Starter 24: Complete Project Journal #2

You'll have 20 minutes to work on this in class, then it is homework, due tomorrow. We'll head down to the Commons to make masks after the first 20 minutes.
Get out your note-taking guide to "Unpacking the Invsible Knapsack"

​Then, go to the google classroom document and below Project Journal #1, answer these questions, aiming for ¾ of a page to 1 page TOTAL:

1. What part of “Unpacking the Invisible Knapsack” did you strongly agree or disagree with and WHY?  
2. ​To what degree and in what ways does race impact your own personal life and/or identity?  Try to determine percentage, from 0-100% that is impacted by race.  (Consider emotional, social, economic, intellectual, psychological impacts. Think of your own race, not the race of others)
3. ​How  much influence do you think “white privilege” has on your life? Note: even if you don’t identify as white, it can still have an influence, no?

Homework 

• Reminder on the process for making masks (we'll start brainstorming for REAL your final mask designs on THURSDAY, then do peer critiques next TUESDAY followed by starting your essay drafting and designing the final masks at the same time.  Our exhibition isn't until the Thursday before Thanksgiving Break)
• Homework this week-- Let's head over to the homework page of my DP​

Mask Making Time

Don't have a mask yet? Make a mask if you haven't yet (this is about as far as you'll get today)

• Use 4 layers!!! You want it thick!

​Have a mask?? 
Step 1: Trim and cover the holes with strips of plaster, let it dry!
Step 2: Plaster of paris to smooth it out, let it dry!
​Step 3:  Sand paper and mod podge (the next day, after it has dried!)
