Dec 7

Year 9 - We have lots to do today!



First Period- let's continue with the blog experience. We will learn how to: a) Insert an image, b) Change settings, c) Utilize the template tab, d) Insert videos. Wow! That's a lot for the first class. Now you are experts!



You deserve a break:-)



Second Period:

1) Let's refresh our memory in regard to the Design Cycle. The Design Cycle is composed of 5 stages: Investigate, Design, Plan, Create, Evaluate. It must follow that cycle. We can't Evaluate before we Create - it's impossible.



As part of your project you must build an online Design Folder and there's no time like the present to start ;-)Open a Word 2007 document. Click on the Insert tab on the Ribbon. The extreme left icon says Cover Page - Click on that. Choose a cover page (choose the one you like best. You can change the colors if you wish.) Type your Name, Year 8 Unit of Work - Newsletter Project. Then create another page and type in very large letters at the top of the page the word "INVESTIGATE".



Now you are ready to proceed with the Investigation (Criterion A).



1) What is a "newsletter"? Explain completely in your own words.

2) What is the purpose of a newsletter? Explain completely in your own words.

3) Name 2 programs (separately) which are designed to create newsletters (include details about the features that each one offers).



Include any URL's (web addresses) that you visit.



Type each one of these questions on your INVESTIGATE page. Remember to number them;-)

And type in your complete answer. Remember this is RESEARCH. Research takes time.
