Task List
I have decided to allow students to also use Pages as a tool for creating their Wanted Poster. Remember, you can copy/paste text from Comic Life into Pages. Choose the tool you feel will best accomplish the task and create a unique, creative product. With that said there are a few requirements.
- Your paragraph text must be black text on a white background.
- Your paragraph font must be readable.
- You must include the URLs of any images from the internet.
Today you will begin designing your Wanted Poster. You may copy the your text into Comic Life. Any editing changes from Mr. Pudas may be made in Comic Life. Remember, your URLs for any images must be included and take your time to be creative with your design. Positive/negative space, readability and layout are important elements to consider.
Your task today is to type up your Wanted Poster. You may use Pages, Word, NeoOffice or Google Docs. When you are finished, please print out to bring to Language Arts on Thursday. When you finish, you should continue work on your Name Poem or your Scratch is Going Green project.
