First Yearbook Homework Assignment

At home this week, I want you to take photos of your day(s) to give me an idea of what a day in your life looks like.  Tell a story with these photos! I want the photos from different angles and different distances. Play with your camera/phone and your photography skills.  Take many photos and then go through them and only send me the best.  I want at least six and no more than eight photos sent to me.   

When you have found the photos you want, send them to me in an email.  In the email, I would like a small paragraph explaining what your day looks like.  Note -- the day in your life can be a combination of actual days throughout your week.
 
This is due the evening before you come to APEX next week (ex. Wednesday students need to email me by Tuesday night, 9/17/19).

Grades for Yearbook Class

Students will receive 5 participation points per class as part of their grade. The 5 points will be broken down as follows:
 
-1 point if they bring their device to class charged and ready to go
-1 point if they participate in discussions
-1 point if they are focused on their assignment for the day
-1 point if they are demonstrating responsibility 
-1 point if they are being respectful to others
 
We have/will discuss in depth what is expected in order to receive each of these points. Please let me know if you have any questions!
