8th Grade Computers 2
This week for 3rd quarter: Students will finish
and score their final
project websites. As soon as they are done, I will put them up
for viewing on the Comp
2 website. The quarter official ends Tuesday the 15th, TAX
DAY!
This
will all wait until I return from Paternity Leave!
This week for 4th quarter is on hold until I
return: Class
intro PowerPoint presentation. Students will receive a class
syllabus with a permission form on the other side. Parents
must sign permission form and return by Wednesday.
Then students will choose teams. To practice, students will
choose temporary topics (final projects
must be educational!).
Students will create computer generated and hand-drawn art for
their projects, then begin storyboarding their websites.
Creating websites is a great
way to showcase work for an electronic portfolio. Chimacum High
School will have students create portfolios, including electronic
portfolios. If students have computer generated artwork for an
electronic portfolio, they can burn it on a CD. Just have your
child bring a blank CD to school
(if a rewritable CD is used, then
students can keep adding to it).
Plan for the week:
Wed - Intro to Comp
2 PowerPoint Presentation. Choose teams.
Thurs - In teams, choose a practice topic (can
be anything at all, as long as it's school appropriate). Begin
researching your topic using the Internet.
Fri - Show Inspiration so that students
can use it to plan their practice website. Continue researching
topic and getting notes and/or ideas.
