PLANNING DEADLINE HAS NOW PASSED

I have been checking completion of planning tasks this evening. Although several important tasks are done, storyboarding, and the two animatics are missing in several groups. These are in fact the most important planning tasks, and the evidence examiners are particularly looking for on your blog. Many groups are jeopardising time management marks, or have already lost some.
BOTH ANIMATICS MUST BE COMPLETED EARLY THIS WEEK.
YOU WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO START FILMING UNTIL THESE ARE DONE, AND YOU ARE NOW USING YOUR FILMING TIME TO PLAN. USE HOMEWORK TIME AND STUDY PERIOD TIME TO ADD TO LESSON TIME - THIS IS EXPECTED OF YOU AT A2, AND IS ESSENTIAL TO YOUR PERSONAL SUCCESS, AND YOUR GROUP'S SUCCESS.
