TODAY'S AGENDA:
1) Listed below are the requirements for the nursery rhyme assignment (I thought I had already posted these for you) Read through all the items and make sure you have them included in your presentation.
The following items MUST appear or be used to create your PowerPoint Nursery Rhyme Project:
- Readable fonts (being consistent throughout the entire slide show makes for a better looking assignment)
- Font sizes that can be read from the back of the room
- One slide for each line of the rhyme
- Use appropriate backgrounds that fit with the story and subject of the rhyme (you may have to create your backgrounds instead of using the pre-made apply designs)
- Use appropriate graphics that fit with the story and subject of the rhyme (you may have to create and draw your own graphics instead of using the pre-made clip-art)
- Animate a graphic (moving of a graphic – not just a custom animation)
- Animate some text (custom animation is fine)
- Use slide transitions between slides where appropriate
- Use sound (from the Microsoft Office Program – pre-installed sounds)
- Find and use a sound bite from the Internet
- Everything should be set to run automatically (no mouse clicking at all)
- Setup to turn-on as soon as it is opened (turn it in to the electronic turn in folder by packaging it)

February 27, 28 & 29
STUDENT EXPECTATIONS FOR THE REST OF THE WEEK:
- Since I am not here the next three days, my EXPECTATIONS of you are much HIGHER! Please don't let me down.
- Remember this project has to be complete on or before next Friday, March 7th, whether I am here or not. On or Before means, if you know you aren't going to be here next Friday then your project is due Thursday, MAKE SINCE? If not ask someone to explain it to you. Furthermore, if you are absent any day between now and Friday, your project is still due by Friday, March 7th - you have to learn to make choices and decisions based on the job you must get down. (Example: I am at home with a sick kid, but my job and duty to all of you still goes on; therefore, I must meet certain deadlines to see to it that my job duties are still taken care of! Everything we do in here relates to the real world in some way!! :)
- I expect everyone to stay on task and use your time wisely in order to complete this PowerPoint project.
- By Friday, February 29th, you should have completed your research, had your Part I approved by the sub (or me if you post it to your blog), and begin working on the actual PowerPoint.
- My goal for you is to have at least 2-3 slides done and complete by the end of the period on Friday.
- Remember you will receive a daily grade based on your work progress, attention to detail and the focus you give to your project each class period. The sub will leave me notes on those of you she noticed off task and you will lose points for that days participation grade.
- In addition, your Part I handout is worth 3 daily grades so you better make sure the sub checks off your Part I when you are finished so you don't receive a zero for that portion of this project.
- You need to check YOUR blog daily, I might leave you a comment that you need to read.
NOTES:
- ABSENCES FROM TUESDAY: If you were absent on Tuesday and did not receive Part I of this two week project, please ask the sub for the Part I handout. You will then need to ask another classmate to explain to you what you need to do with that handout.
- If you were absent on Tuesday you need to look at my blog posts on Tuesday, 2/26; find your class period; look to see what states have been chosen already and then post a comment to my blog telling me what state you want to do your project on. No two people can do the same state and NO ONE can do Texas.
- There are very few people that have actually completed Part I. If you are one of those people you will know it. If you know that you are one of those people, you need to go get Part II/III from the sub and get started creating your State PowerPoint.
- If you choose to post your Part I research data to your blog, you must have information for all 12 items/questions that are listed and requested on the Part I handout.
DAILY ACTIVITIES (TO BE COMPLETED IN THE ORDER LISTED):
- 1. Check my blog for any additional information I may have added.
- 2. Check to see if I left you a comment on your blog.
- 3. Get out your research or log on to your blog where your research is located.
- 4. Complete your Part I handout or post Part I research data to your blog.
- 5. Take your Part I handout to the sub or ask the sub to come over and View your research on your blog
- 6. Once the sub has checked you off as having completed Part I, ask the sub for the Part II/Part III handout
- 7. Once you receive the Part II/Part III handout you need to read this handout carefully, thoroughly and completely.
- 8. Once you have read Part II/Part III handout carefully, thoroughly and completely YOU MAY BEGIN CREATING YOUR POWERPOINT PROJECT .
- 9. WHAT DO I NAME MY POWERPOINT PRESENTATION? yourfirstname - nameofstate - yourclassperiod
- 10. Make sure you save your presentation to the project folder in your server that we created on Tuesday in class (folder name: yourfirstname - nameofstate)
- 11. Make sure you save your presentation and all your pictures, music etc to that project folder you were to create in your server. Remember that folder is what you will turn in next Friday.
- 12. Now that you have started your project, you have saved your project with the correct filename (see #9 above), you have saved your presentation in your project folder that is located in your server; you are to work on your State PowerPoint Presentation each day, during the entire class period. Be sure that you are referring to your Part II/Part III handout, because it lists everything you need to have in your presentation, how to organize it, and what you must do in order to earn the grade you want (see Grading Rubric on Part III part of handout).
- 13. Work diligently all period and use your time wisely and be on your best behavior.
NO ONE NEEDS TO LEAVE THE ROOM AT ALL FOR THE NEXT 3 DAYS. DON'T EVEN ASK!!
IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS, YOU CAN ALWAYS LEAVE A COMMENT TO THIS POST ON MY BLOG. I WILL BE CHECKING MY BLOG AND YOURS EACH DAY.
Have a good week and I will see you on Monday.
