Wanted Poster/Work Days

Today and tomorrow you will have the opportunity to finish up some of the projects that have been accumulating the past few weeks. We need to tie up some loose ends before we introduce anything new. You will also be meeting individually with Mr. Madson to go through your current grade and identify any missing assignments. Click on the link below for a checklist of current tasks to accomplish.

Task List

Wanted Poster Options

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.

Wanted Poster

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.

Wanted Poster

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.

Inauguration Day 2009

Today, I am here and you are here. Your task today will be to complete the name poem document we started last week. If you finish early, you may continue to work on your Scratch is Going Green procject.

Name Poems/Fonts

We're going to put Scratch on hold for a bit while we prepare for next week. Today's activity deals with working with fonts. Choosing the right font for the job can have a profound effect on your overall message.

Your first task is to download the fonts_activity file from the 2014 Public Folder/Digital Literacy.

Next, we will be choosing creative fonts to publish your name poems with either Pages or Comic Life.

Scratch/Weebly

We have two tasks for today.

1. Learning about Weebly, a website building tool you may use for your History Day project.
2. Completing your Scratch is Going Green Project Proposal.
