Assigned Projects

 

PowerPoint Presentation

 

Your team project is an umbrella project. Each student is responsible for one part or "chapter"  of the site so that each develops the necessary computer skills. The complimentary parts   together and with an appropriate common introduction and menu, make the team project. 

            - Your Power Point presentation should be animated and include sounds and a hyperlink (URL to a site) in each part or "chapter". A part or "chapter" should be at least 5 slides. 

  

Newspaper DTP

Choose one of the two other newspaper designs as a model and individually create your own original newspaper page. The subject may be your website project or any other  appropriate topic. (No tabloid or magazine designs accepted).
