Mallory Sub Lessons Thurs Oct 11

Thank you (Sub) for taking my classes.

1&2hr CIVICS-

A number of students need to make-up tests, these are on the teacher's desk in the MS Civics room (with a post-it note on them).
Have students read, think about (possibly discuss) and then fill-out the "Declaration Decoded" worksheet )on the teacher's desk in MS Civics room. Make sure that they ALSO, complete the paraphrase on the back of the worksheet. They should work on this during class, but I will collect it in class tomorrow (Friday Oct 12)

3rd Hr DRAWING-

Students should continue working on their chair drawings. When in doubt, they should look over the directions again on pp 127-132 in their textbook. We will decide at the beginning of the hour Friday whether or not we will critique them that day, or give them one last day to work on them and critique them Tuesday.

4th Hr- Planning Period

5th Hr 7th Grade Art-

Students should finish working on their Synthetic Cubism Still-Life. Their drawings and directions should be on the island. One of them should carefully move the still-life cart back to it's original position. A few of them may finish glazing their ceramic projects, but need to clean up afterward. If/when they are finished, they may free-draw, or they should use their time quietly be reading, writing or doing work for other classes. Please remind them that they have the Course Post-Test tomorrow, so they may want to study the notes they took earlier this week.

6th Hr Painting-

Create a Baroque or Romantic-style painting of a person, place, or scene with tempera on paper.
You may choose to...

Create a painting emphasizing the tenebrea style, beginning dark, and using limited, theatrical lighting, like Caravagio or Gentileschi.
Create a painting emphasizing exaggerated mannerism (instead of realistic proportions) to stress tension, action or for expressive or emotional effect, like El Greco or Peter Paul Rubens
Create an allegory, using fictional characters or symbols to express a universal truth, like Rubens
Create a painting depicting a scene from Greek mythology or history, like many Baroque painters.
Create a painting depicting strong or important women in a serious or heroic way, like Gentileschi.

7th Hr 8th Grade Art-

Students should finish working on their non-objective compositions which illustrate the elements of design. These should be on the island. This will be the last day to work on them. Those who are finished need to work on something quietly, free-draw, read, write or do work for another class. Please remind them to bring their books to class on Tuesday.

8th Hr Yearbook-

Students should work on designing a one page layout on the blue "Dummy Sheets" on the island. Examples from last year are also on the island. Once designed, they should cut out pictures, headlines or body-copy to paste down as a "mock" layout.
When they are finished with the test, they may work on their real layouts or the cover in the lab. Robert & PJ may work on the cover in Photoshop.
