Today’s Song: “Fantasy” Mariah Carey

CS 1.0

Today’s highlights? I think we have some budding entrepreneurs. I can’t wait to see what becomes of you!

The creativity continues...See y’all tomorrow.

Love and Light,
Beltran

Today’s Song: “I Would Walk 500 Miles”

A Good Day

Thanks for a fantastic day of presentations - from animation to coding to cooking to art to meditation to music. Can’t wait for tomorrow.

Love and Light,
Beltran

Today’s Song: “Opposites Attract” Paula Abdul

Ooh ooh ooh

Some of y’all might know I love baseball but what you might not know is that one of the reasons is its similarity to life. Don’t get me started but as I watched presenters today, literally stepping up to bat, I saw homeruns, near misses and straight up strikeouts. And that’s why I love Create Something. No rubric to hide behind, no teacher expectations just capital F freedom to show everyone whether or not you have those intangibles every quality coach looks for: effort, grit, character, imagination.

Thank you for every single lesson I learned today.

The fun continues next week. Be ready.

Love and Light,
Beltran

Q2 Rhetorical Analysis In Class Timed Writing

Thank you for your work today.  I am reading each of your essays and will be returning them after Winter Break with comments and a score between 0-9 (per the College Board rubric).  If any of you have questions or need extra help beyond what I will provide in class, you are welcome to set up a time with me during Advisory or lunch.

For now, our focus shifts to Create Something 1.0.  All of you should have your projects tomorrow and BE READY TO PRESENT.  You are not excused from presenting just because you signed up for a different day. And if you didn't sign up, I will assign you a slot.

The next 6 school days will be all about you showcasing your projects.  I expect you to follow the same SAS protocol (Greeting, Visual, Explaining WHY you chose to create what you created, opening up for questions and a closing - Thank You, Have a Nice Day, etc.)

Can't wait to see who's who.

Enjoy the rest of the day and again, thanks for the work.  I appreciate it.

Love and Light,
Beltran
