11011101
While I am out, there will be ONE assignment that counts as the clock-in and clock-out. It is worth 10 points. When I return, the old system of one clock-in and one clock-out will be used.
Standard
- 06.01 Describe the role of games in modern society (e.g., education, task training, social networking, therapy, recreation).
- 06.02 Identify various types of games (e.g., chance, skill, knowledge, role-playing, and storytelling).
Topic
Gaming
Objective
Students will develop a basic understanding of various roles games play in society.
Essential Questions
- How do games fill different roles in society?
- What will you do today to be better than you were yesterday?
Mise En Place [~2-3 Minutes]
Every day you should:
- Login to DCPS OneView and Focus.
- Open Outlook and OneNote.
- Clock-in on Focus.
- Check your e-mail for important information.
- Follow any special instructions on the board.
Instruction [~5-10 Minutes]
Begin working on Draw Something #21: 3D Paint.
Students that would like to earn extra credit can use Paint 3D to create a Sugar Skull. A Sugar Skull is often associated with the Mexican holiday Dia De Los Muertos (Day of the Dead). This holiday was also the backdrop for the movie Coco (2017).
- First take a look at the Top 8: Sugar Skulls from last year for ideas and inspiration.
- To get the skull model, access the "3D Library" in Paint 3D and search for human skull, then import it.
- Once you have imported the model you can use the tools in Paint 3D to decorate your Sugar Skull.
- Make sure to save your project often as Paint 3D will occasionally crash.
Students received an e-mail with a weekly progress report in it. You need to open Outlook through OneView, read, and REPLY to that e-mail. DO NOT CREATE A NEW E-MAIL, REPLY TO THE ONE YOU HAVE RECEIVED, EVEN IF IT SAYS "NO-REPLY". Your reply should say something similar to, "I have received the progress report for the week of today's date." If you have any questions or comments about a grade in that progress report, include them in that e-mail. This will happen every Monday morning.
