Hello Everyone! My name is Rachel! This is my Web Page, it shows everything we done this school year. I hope you find it interesting!




 * __ Word Processing __**

In Word Processing we learned how to do lots of things on //MS Word//, like different formatting, bullet points, numbering, typing skills, line spacing, inserting page breaks, and how to insert and graphic a photo/picture; and how to do superscripts and subscripts. There were a lot of different things I didn’t know before, but now I learned everything, it’s no longer a challenge for me. [|Rachel65wps.doc]

In Word Processing and Internet Questions, (also on //MS Word)//, we learned how to use a search engine properly. To be more specific, we used Google. When we answered the questions we also had to write in proper formatting. But I think the main reason of this task was just to review the things we did in Word Processing. My favorite question was the Avril Lavigne one! [|Rachel65IntQues.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. [|Rachel65MS Word - Writing Process.doc]
 * __ Word Processing and Editing with Track Changes __**

We used //MS Publisher// to do our scrapbook/collage, using pictures of family, friends, and ourselves. I think the main point of this project was to practice how to format, crop, insert, and order pictures. I thought this project was really fun! This file can not be found.

In //Google Earth// we just played around. It was really cool. You could find anywhere in the world! Even houses, schools, and sometimes even cars! There are also a lot of different features; I don’t know all of them, but there still is a lot! It was really fun! [|Rachel65GoogleEarth.pdf]

In the Early Man Timeline with //TimeLiner//, we made a timeline about Early Man. At first it was very hard, because I had never done anything like it. But once I got used to using it, it started to get easier. I think the main point of this project was to learn how to be more organized, also because we need it for our Wiki in April. This project was very interesting, I really liked it! [|RACHEL65ANCIENTMANTL.TL5]

In Early Man Graphic with //Inspiration//, we made a mind map about Early Man. In this lesson, I learned how to use //Inspiration//. We copied and pasted the information we had into //Inspiration//, and made a mind map of it. After we finished the information, we had to add a photo to the title, and changed the colors of the mind map bubbles. This lesson was really fun, I really liked this lesson.

MS Excel Spreadsheet on M&Ms __**

 We used MS Excel to make a graph and a database. We counted the different colors for “No peanuts” and “Peanuts”. This class was very simple. I made my graph really pretty, colorful, and easy to read. Afterward, we even got to eat the M&M’s! I really enjoyed this class! [|Rachel65 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 ‘morphed’ our school photos on **//__PhotoShop__//**. Everybody did different things, like monsters, devils, things that don’t make sense, and even snowmen! This class was really fun, I enjoyed it a lot! [|RachelW65_Morph4.jpg]
