In the meantime, here's the week overview:

Monday: After getting the film scene pitches approved last Thursday, today is the day to get your scripts and storyboards finished and approved for filming. We have the iPads all week for filming and editing, so the sooner your scripts and storyboards are ready, the better!

Tuesday: We're taking a Touchstone assessment, a 25 question benchmark to see where you are in preparation for the Milestone EOC, which will come at the end of the semester and constitute 20% of your overall course grade. Afterard, you will have study time to ask questions of one another and of me as you complete your exam study guides.

Wednesday:Work on your student films!

Thursday: Finish them! We will show them

Friday: Exam day... duhnnduhhnnnn duhhhnnnnnnnnnnnn... (Nah, you'll be fine...if you STUDY.)
