Week 5

Assignment Sheet with Study Questions Since this is a short week (All Tech classes are cancelled on Wednesday, October 19th, for the open house!) you have a little more assigned reading than usual, and you are asked to complete last week's sound lab sheet on your own. As the lab is set up as a tutorial, and the Flash Chapter 8 covers sound very well, you have all the resources you will need.

If you missed class on Monday the 17th, please take the time to try out the examples in the assigned reading chapters 6 and 13. We did similar work in class.

Assignment 2 is not due until the end of next week, but please have a story board / thumbnail sketch ready for the second assignment when you arrive at our next class on Monday, October 24th.
