Hello! This is my web page, and I have done a lot of work this year, and I hope that you will enjoy my hard work! Have fun reading!

Sincerely, Cynthia Lee

“Word Processing” was a small project we did. We basically just typed, copied it off from a piece of paper. I think that we did this because we need to practice typing. 6-3 learned how to do “numbers and bullets”, “Keyboarding”, “** Touch Typing Skills”, ** **“**Changing the Line Spacing”, “Inserting a page break”, “Different kinds of paragraphs”, “Inserting graphics and pictures”, “Super scripts and Subscripts”, Last but not least :“Inserting a table”. I think it was quite fun. I also need to practice typing better. [|Cynthia63 WPS.doc]

We used the //Google// to research the answers to four questions. Then we formatted the answers into a //Microsoft Word// Document. The formatting was similar to a review of the information that we did in the last project. [|Cynthia63 IntQues.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.

Scrapbook Collage with //MS Publisher// __** We used //Microsoft Publisher// to make a collage, using pictures of family, friends, ourselves and maybe even idols. We also learned how to insert and format pictures. Lastly, we learned how to crop and order our photos and some aspects of balance and design. I think that this project was quite fun.

Google Earth __//** We explored on the //Google Earth//. We “explored” two ways; we learned how to use it and 6-3 also went all over the world to see where we used to live, or our old schools, ISB, and where we live //now//. Except that I couldn’t find //any// of those. Google //Earth// is an online mapping program that you can do a lot with, you can even play “Flight Simulator”. //Google Earth// allows you to find //almost// anything; houses, parks, government buildings, Starbucks Coffee shops and much more, using satellite pictures. Once again: I couldn’t find ANYTHING!!!! Mr. Williams also showed us some examples, like his condo in Florida, etc. [|Cynthia63 Google Earth.pdf]

Our class looked at some information about early man and we learned a way to organize the information as a picture. I think //Inspiration// is pretty cool because we take a picture and create an outline of the information. Then we can use that outline to create a report from all of that information, and then I added pictures to my //Inspiration// project.

Chinese Dynasties Graphic with //Inspiration// __** We basically did the same thing as the Early Man Picture with //Inspiration//, except for the fact that we used information about early civilizations.

To learn and understand better about the Early Man and Early Civilizations, we put the information into a timeline, using //TimeLiner//. This organized information is made into a graphic and I also put pictures of early man into my timeline. I think that this project was kind of easy.

We used an //Excel// spreadsheet to make a data table and a graph. Mr.Williams counted the number of peanut M&Ms and normal M&Ms to compare these numbers in a graph. I made a graph, printed it out, and then we got to eat the M&Ms. [|Cynthia63M&MColor.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 used //Adobe Photoshop Elements 6.0// to make our school photos look hilarious and interesting. I think that this project was a whole bunch of fun!
