Tuesday, September 15th - Minimum Day

Good Morning and Happy Tuesday -

Once a year, those of us living in San Mateo County are scheduled to be on call as a potential juror - it is how our justice system works.  Today is that day for me.  Although I am gone, you are expected to make the most of today's 30 minute class period.

Please come in quietly and get right to work.  You should be working on the Windmill Assignment we began yesterday which focuses on working with symbols and managing our library!  Here are some basic reminders for how to successfully complete the drawing of your windmill:

• Insert > New Symbol > (name appropriately) > Draw one of your windmill fans (or feel free to draw the entire windmill fan) > click back to scene 1
• (optional) Insert > New Symbol > (name appropriately) > Drag your windmill fan in, copy and paste it until it looks good to you > click back to scene 1 
• Insert > New Symbol > (name appropriately) > rotate your windmill. This will require 4 keyframes. You need to rotate the windmill 90 degrees (or a 1/4 of a turn) each keyframe. Remember on the final keyframe not to rotate it the full 90 degrees so it doesn't look like it stops/has a glitch in the actual animation > click back to scene 1

In scene 1, drag the rotating windmill to your screen. Make sure it has its own layer. You may then add additional layers to include a creative and colorful background scene.  Remember, in addition to a functional windmill on your animation, you should also be showing growth in your understanding and ability to use the drawing tools!
