End of Year by Underclassmen!!!

Projects to be started/completed......


LHS Blitz on bullying.... this is something that I was hoping to get in and I am in need of some help with this.  I figured I could work and do editing this summer but I need stories... and that is what I am asking from you...  Questions will be on board and paper-n-markers on teacher stations..... We will talk about this.


VIDEO!
LHS stop motion video..... what do we think?  Jordyn always has good ideas!!!  I was kind of thinking we could use Summer's idea she had in her video... just a thought.  WE could divide and conquer in two days.... all we need is some shoes, some cameras, and some time.... (WE HAVE ALL OF THESE!)
Map of LHS and we will go....


ALSO:  Jordan A if you are reading this... I have not talked to Sue yet and will be emailing you soon about summer work with Spray Paint!

Wednesday.

Last Day with SENIORS!

SENIORS.. READ THIS!!!!


Baz Luhrmann's FAMOUS WORDS

I have passed it on to all the Seniors I have had since I began teaching at LHS.  You are what will continue to influence the environment around us... Surround yourself with Awesome people and make Awesome things Happen!

Ladies and Gentlemen of the class of 2012!
If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be
it. The long term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by
scientists whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable
than my own meandering
experience…I will dispense this advice now.
Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth; oh nevermind; you will not
understand the power and beauty of your youth until they have faded.
But trust me, in 20 years you’ll look back at photos of yourself and
recall in a way you can’t grasp now how much possibility lay before
you and how fabulous you really looked….
You’re not as fat as you
imagine.
Don’t worry about the future; or worry, but know that worrying is as
effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing
bubblegum. The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that
never crossed your worried mind; the kind that blindside you at 4pm
on some idle Tuesday.
Do one thing everyday that scares you
Sing
Don’t be reckless with other people’s hearts, don’t put up with
people who are reckless with yours.
Floss
Don’t waste your time on jealousy; sometimes you’re ahead, sometimes
you’re behind…the race is long, and in the end, it’s only with
yourself.
Remember the compliments you receive, forget the insults; if you
succeed in doing this, tell me how.
Keep your old love letters, throw away your old bank statements.
Stretch
Don’t feel guilty if you don’t know what you want to do with your
life…the most interesting people I know didn’t know at 22 what they
wanted to do with their lives, some of the most interesting 40 year
olds I know still don’t.
Get plenty of calcium.
Be kind to your knees, you’ll miss them when they’re gone.
Maybe you’ll marry, maybe you won’t, maybe you’ll have children,maybe
you won’t, maybe you’ll divorce at 40, maybe you’ll dance the funky
chicken on your 75th wedding anniversary…what ever you do, don’t
congratulate yourself too much or berate yourself either – your
choices are half chance, so are everybody else’s. Enjoy your body,
use it every way you can…don’t be afraid of it, or what other people
think of it, it’s the greatest instrument you’ll ever
own..
Dance
even if you have nowhere to do it but in your own living room.
Read the directions, even if you don’t follow them.
Do NOT read beauty magazines, they will only make you feel ugly.
Get to know your parents, you never know when they’ll be gone for
good.
Be nice to your siblings; they are the best link to your past and the
people most likely to stick with you in the future.
Understand that friends come and go,but for the precious few you
should hold on. Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography and
lifestyle because the older you get, the more you need the people you
knew when you were young.
Live in New York City once, but leave before it makes you hard; live
in Northern California once, but leave before it makes you soft.
Travel.
Accept certain inalienable truths, prices will rise, politicians will
philander, you too will get old, and when you do you’ll fantasize
that when you were young prices were reasonable, politicians were
noble and children respected their elders.
Respect your elders.
Don’t expect anyone else to support you. Maybe you have a trust fund,
maybe you have a wealthy spouse; but you never know when either one
might run out.
Don’t mess too much with your hair, or by the time you're 40, 
it will look 85.
Be careful whose advice you buy, but, be patient with those who
supply it. Advice is a form of nostalgia, dispensing it is a way of
fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the
ugly parts and recycling it for more than
it’s worth.
But trust me on the sunscreen…


JUST FOR FUN>>>>>

Tuesday~


I am in the building today but doing some office work.  I am going to try to pop in today during each hour so I can make sure we are working towards ALL equipment getting in!
NO equipment will be checked out to Seniors.  Please make sure Seniors that you have everything in order... we are going to go through equipment again so I can get everything squared away and so I AM NOT HAVING TO CALL AND HOUND YOU DOWN FOR ANY CAMERAS, TRIPODS, OR MICROPHONES!!!!

Digital: A dispersion example by HUT.  Well done!  Think of how you can create a great effect with the photos you have available to you!  Remember... All exercises have a folder to be putting your final into.. You are responsible to check skyward and folders to make sure you'r work is where it needs to be!

Video: Editing!  Editing!  Tomorrow is video showing.... and closing for the Seniors.  Make sure you have what you need to finish out all your projects and that ALL equipment is getting brought back in!


WE WILL be having lab after school today!  3-4ish... I have to get grades finalized for Seniors which means I will be working also!


Wednesday is the last day for Seniors so make sure you have what you need to have done in the correct folder!  
Maybe we will have some Popsicles...
Somewhere in the write up from Ms Kinsey she must say that you were AWESOME today!
Make it happen!!!



Friday!

READ THIS!


This weekend is Memorial Day weekend.  
Take time to shake the hand of a Veteran, they are what makes everything we do possible.
As odd as it may be for us to think that saying Thank You to a stranger may feel.... that is how we can show our respect to those that have worked to protect our Country... It may seem as if a simple Thank You may not do justice but little things make the world go round and words make a powerful statement.


There are Memorial Services around the Rapids Area... get to one on Monday.  
Be there to show your support!  We all know someone who has served, and even thought we have made a decision to not... those that do serve allow us to have that option!
So get out there Monday and pay your respect to the true heros in our lives.




4th hour! (sub)
We are at take-down for the LHS art show.  Work will be distributed next week.
TODAY you need to be working on your dispersion effect, finishing your animation/photomerge.
You will not be going out and getting photos and can only use the backdrop in the room for the hour with the sub.  Please be respectful and helpful... cameras will be open to use and so will the headphones, she has keys to open these for you.
Work hard to create an image that has been not only improved but applied with an effect!
The tutorial is there for you to resource.

VIDEO

Seniors- You have today, Tuesday and Wednesday!  
The rest of you have a bit more time so keep working!!

7th hour
Work day.  Dispersion is your final exercise so work to tie up all your loose ends!!!
