BELLRINGER:   No bellringers today, but we discuss the final project and the rest of the semester in this class.  It is expected that all students complete all work for the quarter.  If a student claims to have completed their AI STORY FINAL PROJECT, they should meet with me to grade the work.  If the student has received an A on the project, has an A in the class and is not missing any assignment or project work, they will be given the cone and will be allowed to go to the chairs for the rest of class. 

ALSOThe Final Project will be due on WEDNESDAY, MAY 13.  This will give us time to review our videos in class and to have two days to complete the PRACTICE FINAL EXAM.

IN ADDITION:  Your AI STORYBOARD is due today.  If you do not share your STORYBOARD with Mr. Burkhard today, it will go into the gradebook as a ZERO.

OUR ASSIGNMENTS FOR TODAY:
