Art 1
Students are finishing up the Rhythm and Motion. We will critique on Friday.
On Tuesday we started the Mask. This is a project that will have many days. It is a filler project because of the time it takes for each stage. The first is to mold the celluclay to the plastic mold. This then will take any where from a week to three weeks to cure. In the meanwhile students will be drawing their roughs, these roughs will help establish the creative side of what they wish to paint onto the mask. We then will spay a base color over the top to sill the base. This will take a few days to air out. Students will take their mask and draw the chosen rough onto the mask. It is a lot easier to draw on paper than on a three dimensional surface. If the student chooses to add additional items such as glitter, bling, feathers etc. they may do so but they are to bring the items themselves.
Thursday I will be introducing printmaking. This project teaches the printing process in a simplified form. Students will have rough, each needing to be different: plant, inanimate, scenery, and an animal, keeping items simplified for better results. They will be doing two different styles but the printing process will be the same.
Monday I will be introducing FINAL PROJECT.
Foundation 2
Students should be finishing up with Space, and Balance. Each have specific processes that need to be done correctly in order for the assignment to be right. Space is focusing on positive and negative. Balance is focusing on symmetrical. Both have contrast and are completed in pen or marker. Examples where shown and students were taking through the steps for better understanding. Perspective will be introduced on Thursday. This will then complete the second set of notes for the coming up of the second note test. When working with perspective we focus on one and two point. We start out simple with the one point buildings then move to a one point house. Two point buildings follow with two point house and a two point barn. The summation will be the houses and barn.
Monday I will be introducing FINAL PROJECT.
Language Art
Monday students will be working on Figurative Language. This is broken up into a three sections. RL8.4 is the "Context Clues, Chunking and Word Meanings", We will have the summation on this section on Friday. Students have been given practice sentences and practice paragraphs to help them prepare for the test. Examples are following. Next we also started with RL8.4a this is the figurative language words. This will be broken into two sections the first 5 words are Simile, Metaphor, Personification, Onomatopoeia and Hyperbole. Students were give definitions for them to write as vocabulary words and then are given little quizzes each day for students to better their understanding of these words. Examples are following. (there were a total of 10)
We will continue with this type of practice for the week and next for figurative language for context clues we will complete and take the summation on Friday.
Using context clues to figure out a words meaning is like being a detective. The reader comes across a mystery- an unknown word- and has to use clues to solve it. Look for clues, hints, around a word you don't know. us the clues to guess a meaning for the word.

Figurative language read the lines of poetry, and figure out which technique is being used: simile, metaphor, hyperbole, onomatopoeia, or personification.
1. Like burnt-out torches by a sick man's bed
2. There's a faucet in the basement that had dripped one drop all year since he fixed it, we can't find it without wearing scuba gear.
3. When stars threw down their spears and water'd heaven with their tears,
4. The moon was a ghostly galleon tossed upon cloudy seas, the road was a ribbon of moonlight over the purple moor
5. My teeth were chattering as we waited in the freezing cold for the bus to arrive.
