1. Video on Annie Leibovitz



2. Go to You Tube and type in Jerry Business Smug Mug Film, watch film, then fill out film sheet.

After completing the film sheet, continue to work on assignments that need completing. Top priority is to complete the 30 photo slideshow and place it on the drive under chase2021 11/12 Final Slideshow. If the weather is nice, challenge yourself to get out and take a few new photos for your slideshow.

Final Slideshows are due Tues. Slideshows must be completed to pass this term since it is a collection of your best work. Failure to complete the slideshow effectively will result in an incomplete for the course.
