I didn't get to the store tonight, so I will have a treat for yall before Friday or on Friday for being so well behaved while I had a sub.

TODAY'S ACTIVITIES:

1. If you haven't finished your Part I and shown it to the sub or me, you MUST DO THAT TODAY, or you will have 3 zeros added to the gradebook today.
2. I am available to help with any questions you may have on transitions, sound, custom animation, etc.
3. Remember that you must have a "Bibliography" slide or "Works Cited" slide and that you must format your websites (sites you obtained information, pictures, etc.) from. Click on the link below to see an example of how I want it to look. Pay close attention to where the periods are. I will take off if you do not format yours exactly how mine looks in the example. Go to link for
4. States Bibliography Slide Example - For Format
5. Make sure you are saving everything in to your folder that we created together in your server. It should be titled --> yourfirstname - nameofstate - yourclassperiod
6. You will be turning in this whole folder on Friday, so make sure EVERYTHING YOU SAVED FROM THE INTERNET, PLUS YOUR POWERPOINT PROJECT IS IN THIS FOLDER.
7. EVERYONE, should have their Part I complete and you should be working on Part II/III. Part II/III is a 2 sided handout. Make sure you read both sides and include everything you are supposed to include.
8. If you have not started on your PowerPoint project (Part II/Part III), you are going to need to work very quickly, since projects are due this Friday.

For those of you who are missing your 50States Part I handout here is the link to the document where you can print it out for yourself. Remember that this handout is worth 3 grades.
