There are four parts to this project:

Part 2 Write a story that our kindergardeners would understand that explains what that virtue means. This needs to be at least 3/4 page long typed.
Part 3 For every one to two sentences create a picture that helps illustrates your story.

August 30th/31st

Your first assignment is going to be writing about your summer. And "I don't know" or "I didn't do anything" is not going to get you a passing grade.

I am going to help you think of things to write about. And then I am going to show you a cool way to orginize it. This way when it come to writing your thoughts are going to flow onto the document nicer.

Find and open the application Inspiration. This is a great tool for brain storming. Open a new document in Inspiration. 

Now that you have ideas on the paper you can use Inspiration to orginize it by clicking and dragging. 

Keeping Inspiration open, open a word document and you can start typing. Atlease one paragraph per idea. Finally don't forget to open you writing with an introduction paragraph and a close it with a conclusion paragraph.

Last I would like you to proof read your paper and one of your classmates.

Communication:

Communicating with html.  Layout a web page with you and your partner. Use color, links and pictures in your page design. You might want to look at other websites to see how you want to lay yours out.
If you get done with your design start googling html code.

You are going to partner up for the next few weeks.  This means that you should do your best to bring a flash drive. Don't forget to save your work on your flash drive and your partners. 
Our first form of communication is going to be advertisements. You and your partner must think of a product you want to sell. (real or made up; if made up then you must describe what your product does!)

  • Spend some time looking at advertizments online. (Stick to school appropriate!)
  • Make a list of observations that you notice on all the advertisements.
    • What is the same about each one?
    • What is different?
  • Pick a product to advertise.
  • Create your advertizement, you may use any program that will fit your need.  (Word, paint, comiclife, ect...)

Due in 2 class periods on Friday Nov, 12.

 

You will be graded based off the Super Rubric.

HTML:

Things to keep in mind while writing HTML...
1) Always save twice; Once as .html and the other as .txt
2) If you open an item in the code you will have to close it. The only items you do not have to close are images, page brakes and horizontal rules.
3) Remember that if you move your files you must change your code to reflect the move.

Code that we have worked with:
