=Welcome Seniors! Periods 1B, 3B, 3A = = = =Here is your class wiki. This is the first place to go if you have questions about an assignment, need copies of a rubric or an assignment, or want to know the tentative plans for class time in the following weeks. I will post deadlines, assignments, instructions and other resources here. Please get in the habit of checking the wiki regularly. =  

1. Short Story Drafts: Second revision with rubric 2. LAB 307: Class rationale and begin work on final QR assignment
 * __Week of Mon 6/3- Fri 6/7 __ **
 * __A Mon 6/3 and B Tues 6/4: __ **

1. LAB 307: Finalizing the QR assignment: class map, QR codes, etc
 * __A Wed 6/5 and B Thurs 6/6: __ **

**3A:** Please spend the period today working on the QR project. This means you can: a) Search online (use the links and suggestions on the wiki) to find your "found" piece. It can be art, poetry, music, short clips, etc that relate to the theme. It should be able to stand alone on its own on a stop on the tour without your narration. Our tour should have variety so once you find your piece put it in the google doc to make sure we dont have all songs, all art, etc. b) Write your creative piece (poetry, music, short story).

c) Draft the rationale for either piece, meaning you can write your page of justification for why you chose/wrote the piece, how it represents the class theme, and why it is a valuable contribution to the tour. be specific and identify the "type" of humor it is. d) Google Kawya and convert your link or document into a QR code.

DRAFTS of both your pieces are DUE NEXT CLASS. :)
