Week 11 Apr.3
Microsoft Publisher:
Use desk-top Publishing program to enhance your classroom activities.
To
do today
We are going
to create two products using MS Publisher: a monthly calendar and
a newsletter.
Publish the products to your eportfolio website. And HAVE FUN!
1. Product #1 Monthly Calendar
Develop a monthly schedule of events
for your future classroom. A series of activities that relate to a
large topic(s) should be scheduled.
Project ideas
For a 4th grade country
project, you probably want to include the following stages: plan, research,
write, arrange, and assemble a poster. Some dates about deadlines and
the presentations would also be useful: starting dates, presentation
dates for each class, deadlines for each class, research dates
in class. And last but not least, the decorations to fit the project!
