Look at the Yearbook Spread Rubric and think about what a spread in the 10/10 column would look like.
Check out this Yearbook spread and consider what you would give as a grade in each category on the rubric. For each grade you need to be able to explain why you have chosen it.

Location, Location, Location
We are starting our unit on locating materials to help us learn. This unit is called Location, Location, Location.
You will have received an email with a link to the assignment sheet for the first part of this unit, which is all about finding stuff in the Secondary Library.
The great thing about this unit is that you can use the skills you learn in our library here, but also in any library you go to in the future, public or college.
Make sure you have the assignment sheet ready to hand for Wednesday's lesson.

Field Day spreads
Well done to those of you who followed the instructions left for Monday's class. I have updated your Edline with 50% of the total marks.
The grading will be done by you next class using the Yearbook Spread Rubric. This is the rubric that we will use for all the spreads in the Yearbook.
If you want to make sure you get an awesome grade, you can take another look at your .INDD document before our next lesson.
If you have not yet submitted a .INDD document to the Field Day Spreads folder, you can still do that, and the penalty for late work will be applied.
You may want to check that you have uploaded a .INDD document rather than a .JPG of your spread. I want to see the .INDD.

Critical Reflection
You have set the criteria for a good presentation. Make sure you post those criteria on your blog.
Once you have a clear idea of what a good presentation looks like, you can critique your own performance. Watch the video of your performance and write a critical reflection of your performance with reference to your criteria. Post this on your blog.
It is important to make sure that your critique is balanced. Your presentations all had good aspects to them as well as areas to improve.
A critical reflection includes a plan for improving your performance the next time you give a presentation. Write a plan for improvement that specifically addresses the areas in your presentation technique that are flawed.

Photography skills
Today we are investigating photography techniques in order to make sure we can take great pictures for the Yearbook. We are preparing for our first all-school event this Friday.
Before Friday you will need to book a slot with the camera to take pictures of Field Day activities. You can book your time with the camera through this Google Sheet.
Today, in pairs you will spend some time with Mr. Arthur to learn how to use the school camera. When you are not working with Mr. Arthur, you will be investigating photography techniques and your smartphone, if you have one.
Firstly,
Read this post about using your cellphone to take Yearbook pictures. Play with your own phone to see if you can get the right camera settings. Take some pictures.
Secondly,
Learn about the following photography techniques by looking them up online. Once you think you have a good idea about the techniques take some pictures while consciously using the individual techniques.
Rule of Thirds
Camera Angles (get down low, shoot straight up, kneel down, twist the camera, exaggerate features)
Framing the shot (photo composition)
Make sure you have some photos that are in the advised photo resolution that show examples of each of these photography techniques. When you have the pictures, write a blogpost detailing each of the techniques using your own photos to illustrate them.
This is due on Monday, September 14th.

Homework for this weekend...
The written part of your Profiles is not yet of an acceptable quality. Make sure you spend time this weekend working on this so that on Monday we can finish this off and get it to your client, Ms. Fossum.

ALL of the bullets should have some relevance to ISOI or their achievements as a teacher.
Make sure that all of the proper nouns have capital letters, there are no spelling errors or typos.
Let's make a product you'll be proud to show to your client.
