By Feb 8th, please complete the following:
Jennifer and Ken: Read chapters 2, 4, and 5 in "Visual Arts Units for All Levels." After you read chapter four, consider what equipment you are needing most for your classroom and begin to draft your mini-grant.

Antonette: Work through two points in Scott Kelby's "7 point system" and document your progress on your wiki.

Amanda: Continue working through the exercises in your stop motion book. If you have time, begin synthesizing the ideas in "It's Elementary!" with your desire to try out stop motion in your classroom.

Please find a time that all of you can meet me on Skype to discuss these readings and the implications for your classroom.
