Zoho Assignment Instructions for November 18

You are going to be create a breif Zoho show that details the classes you will take for the next 3 years (you will also include the classes you are taking  this school year) to satisfy the BHS graduation requirements.

Your show should have transitions, some animation ( you don't need to add animation to each text box, basic shape, image, etc). I don't want you to spend a lot of time adding animation to everything. I am most interested in seeing a quality show.

You can find class pictures on the 'S' drive in the 'Pics From Students Term 1 2011' folder. You are NOT limited to the files in this folder but you are limited from using pictures that have a restricted copyright.

You can find the graduation requirements on the BHS web site. You can also find the course catalog on BHS web site.

Assignment is due at the beginning of the period on MONDAY (NO EXCEPTIONS).

Post for November 15 - Tuesday

After you finish your project you are to work on Key Train. Make sure that you have completed at least the the 'next' level after pre-testing for Applied Math, Reading for Information and Locating Information.

Your 'next' level will depend on what your pre-test level was.

I will be looking at Key Train reports and posting grades accordingly.

Post for November 11

This is just a reminder that you should all be to the point where you are close to being ready to start recording your narration. Make sure your narration is going to be a story that 'flows' instead of being just a series of choppy facts and information.

Make your story INTERESTING!

This project is a test grade!

Remember Photo Story is FREE and can be downloaded from the Microsoft site. You can work on this assignment at home if neccesary.

First Ladies Project Clarification Details

Good morning students,

I wanted to make a few details clear regarding the First Ladies Project:

The overall finished Photo Story project should be a summarization of all your research. You should put together a story about your first lady NOT just state facts.  Make the story interesting. Pick out the most interesting things about your first lady to put in your story. Your story should flow like the chapters in a book would flow. I do NOT want choppy, unconnected segments.

You may not have time to finish this by the beginning of class on Monday so I will give you until the end of the period on Monday to finish the project.

Also remember: you can not start recording your narration until AFTER you have typed your narration on each image in Photo Story. This will help to make sure you do not have hesitation when recording.

Good luck.
