Ali+M



Welcome to Alison's web page! This web pag shows some work that I have done through out the year. I hope you enjoy my web page!



We typed up and edited a page about word processing skills. We learned how to do numbering and bullets, to insert and format graphics or pictures, and line spacing. We also learned how to do put in a chart. I didn’t know how to do most of the skills, so it was a good practice. [|Alison63Wps.doc]

We used //Google// to research four questions. Then we typed the answer in //MS Word// document. It was kind of a review for the word processing skills project. I liked listening to “Sk8er Boi.” [|Alison63IntQues.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. [|Alison63MSWordWritingProcess.doc]

We used //Microsoft Publisher// to make a collage out of pictures of our friends and family. We also learned how to insert and crop pictures. I think this was a fun project. [|Alison63Collage.jpg]

We learned how to find places on //Google Earth//. We learned how to find our houses, parks, Starbucks, etc. They are all pictures taken by satellites. I found my house in Bend, Oregon and in Beijing. It was really cool! [|Alison63GoogleEarth.pdf]

We used Inspiration to organize information about Early Man. We learned about our ancestors and who they were. Then we added a graphic. [|Alison63EarlyManINS.jpg]

We did the same project as the Early Man Graphic with //Inspiration//, but used information about early dynasties. [|Alison63ChineseDynastysINS.jpg]

To help us understand the information about Early Civilizations and Early Man, we put the information into a timeline, using //TimeLiner//. We learned about when a new species evolved and which species it was. It was pretty cool. [|Alison63AncientManTLS.JPG]

** //__MS Excel__// __Spreadsheet Graph on M&Ms__ ** We worked with a //Microsoft Excel// spreadsheet and turned it into a graph. We counted the number of M&Ms (one bag was peanut and the other bag was plain) and put the info into a table to compare the M&M’s. Then Mr. Williams let us eat them!! [|Alic64 M&M Color.xls]

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**

We learned how to use //PhotoShop// to play with our pictures. At the end, it was fun to look at other people’s photos and see what they did. It was really fun!!! [|Alison63Morph.jpg]
