Stay on Task!

We usually start the day out with a lesson on something new, and then get to work on whatever that we have been assigned for the rest of the period. But today started out differently. We first began with talking about our portfolio, which is due at the end of the year. Also other things that are due very soon are our flash projects and our websites. Yes, make sure you complete them and hand them into Mr.Case no later than Monday, because Mr.Case is going to be giving us a completion mark for our websites, and a mark for our flash projects. But as soon as the flash projects were brought up, everyone started to complain about the limited time we had to complete them. The reason for this is that these flash projects were supposed to be a practice for us so that we can better our skills in flash.
Before we got time to work on our projects and anything else that needed completing, we touched upon our summative that is going to be given to us on Monday, as soon as everyone comes back from Ottawa. The good news is that we DON'T have an end of the year exam for BTT, which in my opinion is great because it just adds to the amount of studying that we have to already do. But the drawback is that the project we are getting will be worth 30% of our BTT mark, which is a great deal of a mark!! This summatives will make or break us, so you have to start thinking of ways in which you can make the best out of it.
Now for the good part. What our summatives is going to be. We are required to come up with a summer job that will fit our budget, our capability and is realistic. It is kind of like a company that you are making. You have to write plans and ideas down about how, where, when and why you want to create the kind of company that you chose. But I wont get into too much detail because Mr.Case will explain everything on Monday.
Another thing that you need to keep track of is your portfolio. You need to put your portfolio into your website, because it is something that represents you and all the different things you've done during this school year. You need to get working on it if you want it completed by the end of the year, and ready to hand in!
These are many important things that you need to complete by the end of the year so that you can get the best mark as possible in this course.
However, after all this scary news was over, we got to work on our flash projects, websites and anything else that we wanted to.
That's all the news for now.
Get tarted on your summatives so that you have time to finish all of them!
Bye.
