My Thanksgiving Break is going to be busy but not in a cool way, most of the time it isn't but that is being an adult I suppose. My oldest son has a soccer showcase in Davis, CA on Saturday and Sunday so I will be in the freezing cold, not getting enough sleep and in traffic during the weekend. Monday will be a delightful day that includes getting th oil changed and tires rotated on our car. I will be working on my side hustle on Tuesday, we are going to Spain over Spring Break which is going to be expensive so I am trying to make some extra cash in order to pay for the trip. Wednesday will be a travel day going to my in-laws house for Thanksgiving. Although I love my in-laws very much, it is always pretty boring, we end up watching old black and white movies with stories that don't really interest me. The best part about the trip will be going to bed early and actually getting some restful sleep. We will return home on Saturday and then I have to spend Sunday hanging holiday lights on our house so hopefully you don't see me on monday with a cast or a noticable limp from falling off the ladder.

IF YOU ARE LOST OR BEHIND, NOW IS THE TIME TO GET CAUGHT UP. NOBODY SHOULD BE WALKING AROUND, SOCIALIZING, OR PLAYING ON YOUR PHONE, IT IS TIME TO COOK.

How do you show that you understand? What is the assignment?

Your showcase project is broken up into three parts

Plan

Put together a "Pitch" document explaining the game you are going to create.

Include the members of your team, an explanation of your game, what each team member is doing, the characters you are going to create, a timeline to completions with info on what each team member will be doing each week.

I will be doing weekly progress checks based on these weekly timelines.
