TOO MUCH TUESDAY

Today we will discuss Design and Layout.

Start by looking through the past two yearbooks and the layout gallery on Yearbook Avenue.

I will speak today about LAYOUT and show a powerpoint.

We will discuss how to mock up designs.

Then you will have a little ASSIGNMENT.

IF you never finished your ROUGH DRAFT of your QUICK READ, DO SO!

Monday Nov 22 Quick Read Sharing

Reminder that quick reads should be completed on practice pages today.  We will start by sharing them.

Then we will draw for Academic Pages.

Finally, you can revise your quick reads as needed.

Also-- if you signed up to photograph elementary kids, I'd like you to make a visit through the elementary with a camera before Thanksgiving break.  We will discuss how to shoot kids today as well.

Logo Loco

Here it is guys....




Here are some others that I worked up the other day.  But I agree that the scribed N is a much better look...  Though we may use the other in the book somewhere as well.

Quick Reads

You should have your data entered into a Google Doc at the start of class today.   

If you are doing a chart with percents (I know Mike is doing this with the super power thing) you will work with Mr. Bollman to make the percents work out.

If you have a list of a whole bunch of random responses, partner up and go through them.  Work on picking the best 5-10 answers.  Tierney and I can add input as well.  

Lastly, we will have a project the last ten minutes of class.  We will review affective captioning.

Happy Quick Reading

When children, Halloween is about Trick-or-Treating, the costumes and the candy.  But as elementary years give way to the teens, All Hallows Eve changes.
