What do you like most for dessert? Explain why. If you were to create a menu, what foods might you include? Think about it and list the menu items that come to mind first.
Today we will be creating brochures for restaurants and menus. Ms. Kirshner brought sample menus to class. Although attempts were made to make copies, it was impossible thus far, so please make sure to return the menus to Ms. Kirshner. They are to provide ideas.
HOMEWORK: Please bring in a sample menu from a restaurant or fast food outlet.
This will be the last major project. Please put all your effort into the menu and the brochure for a restaurant. It would be best if it was for the same business.
Your work will be sent to my email: ProfessorKLK@aol.com for grading and your work will also be placed on a flash drive this week, your entire portfolio should be put in a folder and ready to be copied onto a flash drive.
Next week we will be looking at your work and running the contests for all the work done this marking period. Make sure your projects are in order and completed. Do a spell check as well as design check to be sure that your pictures are saved in the picture folder and that the work fits on the "layout page" within the blue lines, so that they can be printed.

AIM: How will we complete our business and promotional publications using MS Publisher, so that we can present our work for the marking period to the class?
DO NOW: What have you learned about your sports/athlete or celebrity dancer(s) when you did your research online? What parts of your poster did you create on your own, and what did you take off the Internet to use as is? Was it difficult to create a poster and postcard?
Explain.
Complete your sports or dance celebrity event poster (using the publications for print flyer selection) or use a blank flyer or poster in "blank publications" in MS PUBLISHER to start.
Make sure your work is within the blue guidelines provided on the layout page for your work. Do not go outside the blue lines to print.
Make sure have correct spelling, using a spell-check, and that you included an image of the person or group, a headline for the event, a place, time, admission ticket info., and price of admission/ticket. The Postcard has less "copy"/"type" on it. and is smaller, so scale your work down to do the promotional postcard. What else could go on a postcard? Would you mail it or pass is out at crowed locations? Think about how it will be distributed.
Next we will do a menu. Start the research now. Get and save the photos of the foods and the names of dishes to start.
