What happened today - Absolutely True Comics
Today we worked on storyboarding (comic draft 1.0) and drawing individual panels (comic draft 2.0), and went through upcoming project benchmarks on the "Patton Humanities" calendar, which you can access through your own google calendar (as you may recall, we set this up at the beginning of the year). You can also see my reach through my DP here.
We also reviewed the "Student Guide to Absolutely True Comics" to remind ourselves of what the different draft numbers mean (that is, draft 1.0, draft 2.0, etc.)
If you weren't in class today, you should check all the upcoming deadlines in the calendar and make sure you have them in your own calendar or planner. You should also read through the Student Guide to Absolutely True Comics.

What happened today - Check ins
Today I continued my check-ins. These are short meetings with individual students, during which we draw up a check in sheet (you can see a sample here). These allow you to get answers to your specific questions, and help me to see your progress. You will receive a grade based on whether you meet the goals that we set at each check in, so please be aware of that!
