Sept. 5 - Sept. 12

Sorry for the length of time between entries... I've been having a hard time with blogger at work.

Wednesday, Sept. 5: Students worked to identify text features in their textbooks.

Thursday, Sept. 6: Students worked on  labelling the tools in the Photoshop toolbox. Students not on computers worked on finishing a physical features of the world map.

Friday, Sept. 7:  Students took a brief longitude and latitude quiz. Students worked on labelling the tools in the Photoshop toolbox. Students not on computers worked on finishing a physical features of the world map. I collected the first "packet" of class work. Here is a list of what was collected:

1. Longitude and Latitude
2. Briefing: Codebreaker
3. Create an Island
4. Vocab Word: Analyze
5. Understanding your text

Monday, Sept. 10: I focused on specific tools within Photoshop that we'll be using later in the week. Students took notes on the eraser tool, changing an image size, and correct use of layers. Students had time to complete the physical features map from last week.

Tuesday, Sept. 11:Students listed physical features of a specific continent for a project that we'll begin on Wednesday. Some students began the computer aspect of the project.

Wednesday, Sept. 12: I reviewed the expectations for the project we'll be working on the rest of the week. Students will create three Photoshop montages that illustrate the physical features of the continent they were assigned yesterday. One montage will serve as a basic title montage. One will be a montage of physical land features, and one will be a montage of physical water features.
