Hello Everyone:

Welcome to my Web Page Portfolio. This is a sample of the work I did this year. I hope you like it.

Cheers, Randy



 **__Word Processing__**  We typed a paper that explained how to do many things in word processing. We learned about numbers and bullets, line spacing, how to insert and format a graphic or picture. We also learned about how to change formulas with superscripts and subscripts. I knew how to do most of the skills, but liked the superscripts and subscripts the most.   [|Alysabeth6-6 WPS.docx]

We used the search engine //Google// to research the answers to four questions. We then formatted the answers into a //MS Word// document. The formatting was a review of the information that we learned in the last project. I really like Avril Lavigne. [|Alysabeth6-6 Int Ques.doc]

We used the Track Changes feature in //MS Word// to practice editing a word processed document. This was a short lesson, but will be useful when we start peer editing our non-fiction and fiction writing. [|Alysabeth6-6 MS Word - Writing Process.doc]

We used //MS Publisher// to make a collage, using pictures of our family, friends and ourselves. We learned how to insert and format pictures. We also learned how to crop and order our photos and some aspects of balance and design. This was a fun project. [|AllyC61Collage_2.jpg]

We explored on the really cool program //Google Earth//. //Google Earth// is an online mapping program that is much more. //Google Earth// allows you to find anything; houses, parks, government buildings, Starbucks Coffee shops and much more, using satellite pictures. Mr. Williams showed us his house in Florida and Capital Paradise and ISB in Beijing. Later, I found my house in Beijing. This was really fun.

To better understand the information about Early Man and Early Civilizations, we put the information into a timeline, using //TimeLiner//. This chronological order of our information is a graphic and I also placed pictures of early man into my timeline.

We looked at information about early man and one way to organize that information as a graphic. One of the really neat things about //Inspiration// is that it will take a graphic and create an outline of the information. I can use that outline to write a report about my information. I added pictures to my graphic representation of my research.

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

 ** MS Excel Spreadsheet Graph on M&Ms **  We worked with an //Excel// spreadsheet to create a data table and a graph. We counted the number of peanut and plain M&Ms and compared these numbers in a graph. I made a column graph and formatted it to look real purdy. Then we got to eat the M&Ms. Yum! Yum!

** 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 worked with our school pictures and //PhotoShop// to “morph” our photos. At the end we had a classroom of monsters, goons and “weird beings”. You will get to see “me” on my web site this spring.
