WEEK 15 _ Conclusions

Hi folks! This snow day really throws a monkey-wrench in the schedule. Since we're gonna have to compress more into our final class meeting on Wednesday I wanted to lay out some info on what to expect.

Between Now and Weds. 

• Please take a moment to complete the SPOT teaching evaluation for this class through Canvas. Your feedback is helpful in improving the course over time.
• Complete your Short Story Comic and any outstanding exercises from the Week 7/8/9 Menus in your Composition Notebook. 

Wednesday, Dec. 10 = Final Class Meeting (there will be donuts)

Here's the agenda for Wednesday (with a rough timeline of what to expect)

1.) Short Story Comic Discussion (1 hour)
PART 1 _   Written Feedback [7 minutes total]
Do this for the two classmates that follow you in numerical order around the circle.
 
Favorite Element: Spend a moment writing about the strongest aspect of this comic for you as the reader. What quality or element is the best thing? (Examples include but are not limited to; compositional awareness, inking technique, figurative stylization, characterization/personality, mood/tone, lettering, pacing, camera angles, dialog/narration, approach to environments, etc.)
 
Review the comments you received, then >
 
PART 2 _ Discussion
Reflections: (brief personal reflections by each student)
·      talk about the distance between where you started this semester and where you’re ending
·      some aspect of your final comic that you are excited to expand upon or improve upon in your next

Finish by 4:30

LEAVE SHORT STORY COMICS (and comp. book resubmissions) WITH ME. I will grade and scan them and return them to your cubby by Friday, 12/12 at 10:00am. (If your travel plans require an earlier return talk with me about the timing.)

 

2.) GROUP ZINES _ assembly

I will demonstrate assembly for one from start to finish. Then you will work in your groups to bind all your copies assembly-line style (each person takes a role and knock it out together). 

Group members get first dibs on selection from their own books. > Then we do the full exchange. (This is because some copies may be nicer than others depending on printing and assembly imperfections.) 

 

3.) WRAPPING UP.  Redistribution of attendance cards.

CUBBIE CLEANOUT should be completed no later than Sat., Dec. 13. Anything left behind will be discarded during the final studio cleanup. 

CANVAS RESUBMISSIONS _ Saturday, Dec. 13 at 11:59pm is the deadline to submit documentation of anything that you've failed to submit so far this semester or anything that you have reworked since critique. 

Once you have uploaded your files to canvas please email me a list of all of your resubmissions so that I will know to look and update your score in those units...otherwise I won't know.
