Debby+Y



Hey, my name's Debby and your on my Web page... This page contains some work I did this year. Have fun looking through it! -xx



In this lesson Mr. Williams handed us a sheet of paper. The paper we had to read teaches us about inserting number and bullets, Page Break and pictures. How to type properly, use different kind of paragraphs and my favorite was learning about superscripts and subscripts. We copied of the sheet of paper into a new word document. [|Debby 65 WPS.doc]

In this lesson we had a word document full of questions to answer. On the document there were questions the teacher made, and then the students had to search the answer up on Google, then copy the URL and type the answer. [|Debby 65 Int Ques.doc]

 * __ Word Processing and Editing with Track Change __**

We used Track Change feature in //MS WORD// to practice editing word processed document. This was a short lesson, but will be useful when we start peer editing our non-fiction and fiction writing. [|Debby 65 MS Word - Writing Process.doc]

Our homework was to bring in family photos. Then when we were in class we had to use these photos (from home) to start our project. Our project was to design a collage using //MS Publisher//. We had our full name and homeroom on our collage and the pictures that we brought from home.

//Google Earth// is a fun program we played with. The program can show you places all over the world. It’s like a worldwide map. If you want to park a car outside your house to have the picture of the car on //Google Earth//, it has to be parked 24 hours at the same spot. I had a lot of fun playing around with //Google Earth//; I found my house in Beijing and places I like all over the world! [|Debby 65 Google Earth.pdf]

We skimmed through the information Mr. Williams showed us about early man and learned how to organize that information as a graphic. It was really cool how with //Inspiration// you can have your information look like a brain storm layout. The pictures I pasted on the file really helped explain what I meant in words.

We did the same project as the Early Man Graphic with //Inspiration//, but used information about early civilizations. [|Debby_65_Early_Civ_ins.jpg]

Using //Time Liner// helped me understand more about when things happen. You can really tell the time differences. Things are very organized when you use //Time Liner.// To me, it is an easier way of learning the Time differences in things. This program can also include graphics. [|DEBBY_65_ANCIENT_MAN_TL.JPG]

Mr. Williams bought our class two packs of M&M’s. One plain and the other with peanuts inside. We counted the M&M’s then made an Excel spreadsheet graph with columns of what color M&Ms’ there were and how many of each color. The best thing about this project is that at the end we get to eat the M&M’s. Yippy!! [|Debby 65 M&M Color.xlsx]

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. There is no example because this is confidential information.

This was a very fun project. My class morphed themselves into crazy looking funny monsters. We used our school photos. I even changed my skin color to blue! You can edit the shape of your face, arrange the different parts of your face, and change the color of different things! I hope we get to do this project again. [|Debby_Y_65_Morph_Three.jpg]
