Week of Feb. 8th-12th

     Unit 2- Collage Creation

     Unit Question:  How do I create a collage using Microsoft Publisher?

     Enduring Understanding-  There are several elements which must be contained within a collage.  These include the Header, Categories, Winners of each category, photos and any graphics you can include on the page.  The way the elements are arranged on the page greatly effects the look of the page and how appealing it is to the reader.  Neatness, color choices, photo choices, graphics, font size and style are all important considerations when designing a collage.

     Area of Interaction-  Human Ingenuity

    Learner Profile Attribute-Principled.  Students will act with integrity, honesty, fairness and respect for the results of ballots administered and information gathered for the purpose of creating a collage.

Assessment Task:  Create 3 Collages: 1. 6th Grade Favorites. 2. 7th Grade Favorites.  3. 8th Grade Favorites.

    We will spend a great deal of time on this unit in the computer lab. Photo projects are complete and graded.  We will set up the display in the hall.  We will also conclude 8th grade favorites collages and display them for voting.  6th and 7th grade signature pages will also be completed.  Many of you will also be assigned other projects that deal with page building as well.  Don't forget to turn in you Interims ASAP.  Bring your cameras- we need group shots of 7th and 8th graders!!
