Tiffany+L



Hello! Welcome to my web page. My name is Tiffany and I'm in 6-4, Mr. Sadek's awesome class. This is a web page about what I have done this year. Feel free to have a look around. Enjoy! Tiffany



The first assignment we did was Word Processing. We typed an article all about how to use //MS Word 2007//, proper heading, sub-headings, and superscripts. We also learnt how to use subscripts, block paragraphs, indented paragraphs, and how to properly insert and order a graphic. We copied all of this from a paper from Mr. Williams.

In this assignment, we used the search engine //Google// and researched four questions. We answered the questions using bullet points, numbered statements, block paragraphs, and indented paragraphs. We had to tell what the answer was, and what the URL was. It was a relatively easy project. [|Tiffany 6-4 int ques.doc]

In this assignment, we got a piece of writing, (Lincoln’s speech) and edited it. As we did that, we tracked our changes so that we knew what we changed. This will be useful when peer-editing our writing. [|Tiffany 6-4 MS Word - Writing Process.doc]

We used //MS Publisher// to create a collage with our family pictures. We learnt how to order pictures. We also learnt how to crop and insert them. This had some aspects of design. It was a fun project. __ [|Tiffany_6-4_collage.jpg]

We explored a program called //Google Earth.// //Google Earth// allows you to look at places on the other side of the world and pinpoint your position from the satellites in space. Mr. Williams showed us how to use the basic features of the program, including magnifying, turning the angle, using markers, etc. he also showed us his house in Florida and some other places in Beijing. We then had a chance to play around on it. It was really interesting. [|Tiffany 6-4 google earth.pdf]

In this project, we looked at information about Early Man and organized it into a graphic. In //Inspiration//, we made a web or diagram and put a bit of information in each bubble. It can also convert your diagram into an outline, or list, which is really handy for research projects. //Inspiration// is an interesting program. [|Tiffany_6-4_Early_Man_ins.jpg]

In this project, we did the same project as the Early Man project, but with Chinese Dynasties information. We also inserted a picture in the main topic bubble. [|Tiffany_6-4_Chinese_Dynasties.ins.jpg]

Early Man Timeline with //TimeLiner// __** In this project, we put information into a timeline, using //Timeliner,// to better understand early man. We put it in chronological order and also put in pictures of Early Man. It was a useful thing to learn. [|TIFFANY_6-4_ANCIENT_MAN_TL.JPG]

 We used an //MS Exel// spreadsheet to make a data table and a graph. Mr. Williams got a few bags of peanut M&M’s, and plain M&M’s, and we counted the number of the different colored M&M’s and put them in a graph. We then compared them. I made a column graph, and as Mr. Williams says, “made it look ‘Real purdy’.” Afterwards, we ate the M&M’s. [|Tiffany 6-4 M&M color.xlsx]

 * //__MS Excel__// __Spreadsheet as a Database__**

We looked at a spreadsheet as a database. Each of the cells was a piece of information about the students in the Middle School. We saw how a database can be sorted, based on the information. We updated our own personal information.

We got our school pictures from the collect folder and used //Adobe Photoshop// to morph our pictures. We learnt how to use the different filters and effects in //Photoshop// through experimentation and ended up with some truly gruesome pictures. I enjoyed this project. [|Tiffany_6-4_morph6.jpg]
