Group meetings

Ok I know some of the groups are racing along, but I have concerns about some of you and where your project is heading. I know time is tight, so don't let this term slip away without getting to the crucial stage in this project. The bottom line is this:

regardless of absence, cancelled lessons, end of term etc: by Thursday of this week you should have arranged a meeting with me to listen to your final track selection, made a decision and have some idea of an outline treatment for your video.

Once you have got this far, at least your group can go off for the holidays in the knowledge that you are all moving and thinking in the right direction.

Groups: this is how I see it as of Monday 16th July (please check group blogs for individual group feedback)

2E - I'm feeling confident about your progress, looking forward to the results of your location recce, love the track, keep up the momentum

3E - again feeling confident about your progress, excellent choice of track, now let's move forward on the idea, grab a slot with me as soon as poss to talk things through. very concerned about the lack of a group blog though; I have now set this up for you and expect to see all your evidence on it as soon as.

1C - no communication with me as yet, but I can see from the blog that you are making progress. love the one track on the blog.

2C - liked the initial choice of songs, but we need a decision and some focus.

3C - I kn0w you have made progress but as yet I haven't heard any of the 3 final tracks; ideas look good though

4C - feeling confident about your final 2 tracks; I know you're working on potential treatments so let's make a final decision asap and move this one on

So - lots of group meetings needed, communication with me, some real focus and determination to see this through, and good record keeping so things don't get forgotten in 6 weeks time. Even a 15 minute meeting with me could move things on loads.

This week is very flexible for me; I am available much of the time to listen to tracks and finalise ideas. Free slots are:

Tuesday: all morning(!), break, P6, part of lunch and after school
Wednesday: P2, 3, 4, 5, break, lunch, possibly P6
Thursday: P2, 3, possibly P6, 7, 8, break, lunch, after school until 4.10
Friday: P1, plus during the media lessons 2 - 5

update: bookings made for 2C 1pm tues, 3E 12.45 weds

Make sure we meet before Friday to be confident of a decision as the last day is bound to be manic!
