November 11


Sorry Year 7 but I won't be with you today - I'm feeling a bit "under the weather".

So I will leave some tasks for you to complete.
1) Practice typing for 20 minutes. Choose from these 2 links: http://www.freetypinggame.net/ OR www.bbc.co.uk/schools/typing/

2) I would like you to answer a few questions.
First of all I would like you to tell me what you are doing in Humanities class. Then, please begin your Investigation. That means that you must do research on the internet. Please do a "keyword" search on Google or Yahoo. (A "keyword" is the word that you type into Google search. For example is you want to know about photo albums you type in "photo album";-)

Open a Word 2007 document and answer the following questions:

A) What topic/theme am I studying in Humanities? (I know that you are going to make photo albums to document your family. Give me lots of details about what you are going to day and why you are doing it. Explain the importance of the project)

B) What is a photo album? (the keywords are "photo album definition) This should take you to sites that will give you a definition of photo album.

C) What is a scrapbook? (the keywords are "scrapbook definition)

We are a Computer Technology class so we like to do things online:-) Let's think about the possibility of a "tool" (a small online program) that we can use to make a scrapbook online?


For your information: How do I start my scrapblog?Simply click the "Get Started" button to launch the Scrapblog Builder. Choose a theme, then click "Get Photos" to upload photos of you and your friends.


Next, Go to http://www.scrapblog.com and fully explore this site.
Fully explore this site. Find out: 1 - How to open an account and create a scrapblog. 2) Look at the different templates/themes and select one for your scrapblog.

Remember be respectful and cooperative with your substitute teachers.

See you next week Year 7
