- You will have time today and Friday to work on Boot Camp during class– finish as many lessons during class as you can at school
- Any that you do not finish at school are homework
- Everyone should be finished with all Boot Camp lessons before next week
- Make sure you are recording in a quiet location (at school, when ready to record go away from the crowd and find a quiet spot)
- Demonstrate clearly what the lesson is asking you to demonstrate
- Pay attention to detail
- Review if necessary
