Daily Activities, Tuesday, 3/30/21

--Attendance/Checkin/Poll

--Plan for the day and the week—think about how music plays a role in your viewing a movie or play. My example would be The Cure, by Alex Atkins and Andrew Franks. This is a High School movie production.

You need to watch this after our Fitness: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W0iIiC0baaM

--Fitness,

Then, let’s think about the SOUNDTRACK for your story if it was turned into a film. What songs will be used for different portions of your story, if it was turned into a film or play?

Rather than me giving you links to soundtracks, feel free to Google soundtracks for films, or just go on your own as only YOU know how your story needs to be told, and what music needs to be played. Don't worry about copyright as this is just a creative assignment for this class.

Look at your Story Template and provide FIVE songs to be played during your story as it is turned into a film.

Your Assignment and Template is attached and is due by tomorrow.

Monday, Feb. 8

--First day of new Unit. Start with Attendance and any sort of check-in that you would like to do. Possible ideas are Screen on Screen Off, any sort of quiz or Mad Libs, a Caption Contest, or a game. But I also trust you to use some of your best ones. Character Strong also has some good ones.

--Go over some basics for the course, the structure of this group of Elective Superstars, and perhaps some guidelines for online etiquette and all that. And chat with them about how the last unit went for them.

--Normally on Monday, I do some mindfulness/relaxation and some yoga. I often use books, but perhaps it’s easier to use either of these videos:

-- This is Yoga with Adriene: https://www.youtube.com/user/yogawithadriene

(She's a little wonky but there's a crazy amount of options on this site. The students prefer her over some of the other Yogis.)

--Here is a Body Scan Meditation Video. There are a bunch out there if you make a simple search. I usually read mine from a book by Thich Nhat Hanh, but sometimes it’s easier and more effective to have someone else guide it, like in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T0nuKBVQS7M


--This is short video of a Guided Meditation—it’s totally CHILL! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T0nuKBVQS7M


--Checkin with them after the Relaxation and/or Meditation. Then, do a really simple Fitness workout:

--10 Jumping Jacks, 10 pushups, 10 situps or crunchers, 10 air squats, and 5 minutes of jogging, or skipping or dancing in place. YOU can choose to do more or less.
