Year 10 - It's that time of year again . . .

We have 2 different class projects going on: Publisher and PhotoStory 3.

The Publisher group will be exploring Microsoft Office Publisher 2007 and creating a holiday newsletter. The newsletter can contain photos, original articles, cartoons, holiday stories, holiday poem(s) or song lyrics, the history/origins of the holiday, or anything that you would like to share with your subscribers. You will save your Publisher file as a JPEG and upload it to your blog. (Just like we did with the Excel files - which by the way look spectacular).

The PhotoStory 3 group will create a digital story (in 2 class periods or less - hahaha) focusing on a holiday. It's really easy to do. First, select a holiday that you would like to feature. Then, decide what you would like to say about that holiday because you have the option of narrating your story. (You can illustrate song lyrics and poems if you like.) Open the program PhotoStory 3 and follow the easy steps to create your story.

When you finish, save your story 2 ways: 1, for playback on your computer AND 2, save the project (so you can edit the project in the future).

This is going to be so much fun.

Let's go!
