Today's class started with a rather funny video, which taught a lesson. Mr. Rivers was teaching us how to screen record on the Chromebooks, and that the stop button just happens to be an imperative step in the process, which Matt Freeman clearly didn't realize. The video involved a few students recording their voices over their screenplay, ending up with about 20 minutes of film. When they were done talking, they checked their recording to see that only 5 seconds of their video actually recorded. They freaked out and hurried back to class, where Mr. Rivers hit one button and saved their project. After the video, we all continued to work on our final narrative project. More students are beginning to film as the deadline closes in, but others are working on their screenplay. Make sure you stay on top of your goals, as the next goal check deadline is tomorrow. Whether you completed your goal fully or not, as long as you are productive you will be fine.
A valuable lesson from today's class showed us all the dangers of procrastination. While it is hard to procrastinate with all of this class time, the students in the video managed to do it. They almost had to record their entire presentation a second time, and they were panicking when they realized that. As long as your time is managed well, you won't have any issues with stress when the deadline draws nearer. Remember, if you don't want to work on this project over prom weekend, have it done before that Friday, June 8th.
