Crossing the boundaries

One of the new things we are trying this year is to cross curriculum boudaries.  The Animation Problems and Solutions class will be working on a year long project using TSPS guidelines.  That project will be a animated feature-ette.  The difference this year, from past year projects, is that we have asked the Creative Writing class to be our writers and the Theater class to be our voice overs. 

Already we have discovered some organizational issues that need to be addressed in the future: 

1. First and foremost is to meet, prior to the start of school, with the creative writing teacher to establish guidelines and goals.
2. Get the preliminary story by first six weeks progress reports and screenplay before the end of the first six weeks.
3. Cover the process in more detail with the Animation Students insuring that all roles (specific) be addressed.

There probably will be more items to be aware of as we go.
