Ms. Kirshner - MOS Periods 6 and 7

AIM: How will we apply our skills with copying and saving of images from the Internet into our Picture file and going to the Slide Show Menu and submenus with animation schemes, and transition settings (PowerPoint toolbar) to advance our History of Money project?

DO NOW: What do you plan to do for your Spring Break? Will you work on a web site? Will you work on a PowerPoint project? Will you travel somewhere special? Who will you see or what will you attend. Be specific and please include a photo from the Internet to illustrate your DO NOW. If you aren't going anywhere, where would you like to go and what would you dream of doing if you had unlimited funds?

LP: Today Please look at the winners posted. we will examine the winning projects individually. We will also return to our History of Money mega-projects and use the skills developed since we started it to improve the slides and advance them with use of the slide show menu items of slide transitions and timing and animation schemes. We will also include java/animated art clips from the Internet by right clicking on them and saving them to our picture file first. (If they are copyright protected we will be unable to do so.)

Key questions for motivation: What did we learn about setting up a slide show with the previous assignment? Why do we have to save slide show settings? Why do we apply to all the settings sometimes? Why might we vary them? Why do we save pictures in our picture folder before using them in our work?

Note: certificates will be prepared and distributed today and tomorrow.
