Welcome Back! I missed you!

Today's Goals:

Review Ashley's feedback to your essay (if you submitted it on time for feedback) and understand her feedback
Reflect on what you need to do to be ready for Wednesday's exhibition and make a plan

Starter:
In your google doc of starters, write down what you need to do to be ready for Wednesday's exhibition. Here are the exhibition pieces required for Humanities:

1. Sense of Place writing with an abstract at the beginning
2. Visual Piece with an artist statement

Answer these prompts:

What are the tasks you need to do? Be specific.
How much time will each task take you? Total this time.
Prioritize these tasks by ranking them in order of importance (#1 most important to least important)
Show your starter to a friend, tell them what you have in mind for the tasks and ask them if the time allotments look realistic

Example:
- Refine my essay (2)--> 2 hours
- Get feedback from Ashley about my visual piece idea (4)--> 10 minutes
- Create my visual piece (1) --> 7 hours
- Write my artist statement (3) --> 1 hour
- Cite images used in visual piece as part of my artist statement (5) --> 30 minutes
- total time: ~11 hours

AGENDA
1. Announcements

This week's schedule + end of year schedule
