Mallory Sub Lessons Mon Jan 21

So last Friday, I took my daughter to the doctor, but today I really need to. I feel like an elephant is sitting on my chest. Thank you for taking my classes for me today.

1. & 2. CIVICS- Have students read/complete the attached article about when Martin Luther King Jr. received the Nobel Peace Prize and turn in by end of the class period. 

3. Photography- Students should complete the attached Self-Critique form on their recent self-portrait assignment. Since only 4 students have done so already, most students should use the time to download pictures from their cameras and upload them to flickr, add their assigned pictures to the class group "pool." A few people may need to use the time to register for flickr. Students should read pp. 20-27 and be prepared for a quiz over it on Thursday. 

4. Planning  Period- Please have my teaching assistant, Emily Anderson score the Ceramics and Yearbook quizzes. Her name is on a post-it note on them on the island. Have her put them in the yellow box when she's finished.

5. 7th Grade Art- Have students complete the attached 2-page worksheet on complementary colors- they may use whatever media they'd prefer; marker, colored pencil, crayon, or oil pastel. Please be sure to have them put whatever they use away and clean up by the end of the period. When they finish, (make sure they have their names on them) have them turn them in to the yellow box on the island counter.

6. Ceramics- Have students use the "pinch method" to create birds and fish. Each student should create at least one of each, but may make as many as 4 or 5 if they want to. Sculptures should not be any bigger than their hand. Remind them that anything thicker than your thumb must be hollow (just like the spheres from the first week). They should be sure to cover them with plastic bags when they're done. Tomorrow we will score/critique last week's pots.

Please be sure they clean-up no later than 1:40pm and please make sure that the lit is put back on the barrel tightly. Friday afternoon when I came in for the basketball game, there were tools and clay on the table and the lid was on the floor- the clay will dry out and be ruined if it is not covered. Please don't let them play cards or play on their phones or ipods. Thank you.

7. 8th Grade Art- Have students take the attached quiz on the elements and principles of design. Students MAY use their notes, students may NOT use their books, students may NOT talk. Please collect the quizzes in the yellow box when they are finished. Students should read the directions on pages 12-13 in their books for the assignment which they will begin tomorrow.

8. Yearbook- 
  • Kari & Shelby- Read "MODULE 1: The Yearbook" (pp.7-11)- test Friday, I will have related activities for them to complete tomorrow or Wednesday.
  • YBII- (Most of the class) Work on their pages, they can design layouts even before they have pictures for them. They receive a weekly "work" grade for their progress.
  • YBIII&IV- (Ashley, Taylor, Robert, & Kameren) Work on Senior Section or help other students with their pages.


Thank you for subbing for me today, I hope you have a good one.
