Hello Everybody,

Welcome to my wikispace. This is where I post all of my schoolwork in the past year or so.

From, Amanda



** Web Page Description ** For this project, we learned how to use bullets, numbers, insert a picture, and use different types of paragraphs. I knew some of the things, but it was a good review. I learned shortcuts to things that used to take longer to insert. [|Amanda64 WPS.doc]
 * __ Word Processing __**

For this project, we had to answer multiple questions using //Google//. We then copied it into a //MS Word// document. Some of the questions were really interesting, such as “How many golf clubs are allowed in a golf bag?” [|Amanda64 IntQues.doc]
 * __ Word Processing and Internet Searching __**

We used the Track changes feature in //MS Word// to practice editing a word processing document. This was a short lesson, but will be useful when we start peer editing our non- fiction and fiction writing. [|Amanda64 MS Word- Writing Process.doc]
 * __ Word Processing and Editing with Track Changes __**

 For this project, we used //MS Publisher// to create a collage of our friends, family, and ourselves. We learned how to change the color of our background Mine was a light purple. We also learned how to add pictures, move the picture around, and use different font. This was an exciting project.

Google Earth __**  We learned how to pinpoint different main events, such as your house, school, etc. We saw Mr. Williams’ house. We also learned how to find a major city. [|Amanda64 Google Earth.pdf]

In this project, we learnt how to create a timeline. We copied information from our document, and pasted it into the timeline. I put a picture of some early men also. [|AMANDA64_ANCIENT_MAN_CHINA.JPG]

Early Man Graphic with //Inspiration// __** In this project, I first learnt how to make a spider-web like layout.I inserted information about the first people, and put a picture in as well. [|Amanda64_Early_Man.jpg]

I made another spider-web like layout in this project, only making it about early civilizations and not early man. I also had to make different sections for different species of early man. I put a picture of the Chinese dynasties also! [|Amanda64_Chinese_Dynasties_Ins.jpg]

**__Spreadsheet Graph on M&Ms __**  In this project we used M&Ms to practice our spread sheet, data table, and graph skills. We counted all of the different colored M&M’s in a bag, and then typed it into the spreadsheet. I color coded my spread sheet to make it easier to read. At the end, we got to eat the M&M’S.

 **//__ 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.

 In this project, we altered our school photos with //Photoshop//. I made mine look really demented. My classmates pictures were creepy too. I will put my picture on my wiki space soon.
