Once you have completed the vocab quiz you will want to start working on FA10. This formatting activity requires you to insert Clipart into a Word document and resize it. You will only be working with Clipart, but remember actual images (those you could take with a screenshot or with a digital camera) can be formatted and manipulated in the same manner as the Clipart images. Please remember from yesterday that in order to move your Clipart image freely throughout your document you must go through the following series of steps while formatting your picture:
- Click on the Layout tab
- Choose your Wrapping style (usually either Square or Tight)
- Click on the Advanced button at the bottom of the window
- In the Advanced Layout window deselect the box under Options next to "Move object with text"
- Click OK twice to exit
Formatting Activity 10 is due at the end of the hour today!! This is a simple assignment and should not take you long to complete.
Activity 10 -
I am going to encourage each of you to check your Gmail - I have sent many of you emails regarding FA8, which was the Movie Plot Summary activity that you turned in on Monday of this week. Many of you still have not yet handed this in, and several of you who did turn this in did not send me the correct information in your email. You were supposed to send me a link to your blog AND the Word document you used to type in your movie summary.
Next, check the Late Board in the classroom. If you have missing work please get it handed in as soon as possible! We only have 2.5 weeks left in the semester, and many of you have poor grades because you are not turning in assignments. Having missing assignments is by far and away the biggest reason students do not do well in any class - if you turn your assignments in, even if they are late, your chances for good grades dramatically increases!
If you are done with everything, I'd like you to start working on this Alice tutorial:
This will be in preparation for next week's graded Alice assignment.
As a reminder, your podcast is due next Wednesday. The website to use is Vocaroo. You need to plan accordingly - if you don't have a microphone on your computer at home you need to figure out the best time to come in to one of the computer labs (my room, 7th Grade Computer lab, or Library) to complete this assignment. Your speech must obviously be school appropriate.
When you complete the assignment state your name first, then state the speech that you are giving. You do not have to read the entire speech! Reading about 1 minute of the speech will work great. Here are a couple of websites that you can use to find the text to a speech, but you can use any website that has the text to a speech (if you find a different website on your own that is fine).
