Project #5: Microsoft Word Project
Annotation for Project #5
There
were various functions on Microsoft Word that were used to complete all
three parts of this project. For part one, we created a word
acrostic poem using Word Art on Microsoft Word. We were shown how
to vertically set up our name on the page. Then our instructor
gave us describing words to insert on word starting with each letter in
your name. I had to do this for other classes and never
know how to set it up on the computer so I just make them free hand.
I really enjoyed creating this acrostic poem. This
could be a great introductory activity I could use in my classroom as
away for all the students to get to know one another. These poems
can be shared in class and displayed around the room so that the
students and families to enjoy them. I was so excited to learn
this technique.
The second part of this project was an educational handout. This
was also created on Microsoft Word . I included a yellow star
border and yellow star watermark on my handout. A water
mark is a feature on Microsoft Word, in the handout. The
watermark allowed a picture to appear as the background. You can
chose to have it bright or faded. The washout feature will fade
it. I made up a handout that I feel will be useful in my future
classroom. I made a handout that say "You are a Star" and
left room for the children to put a picture of them selfs on it and
write little about themselfs. Then we would hang them up in the
classroom one child a week and they can tell the class little about
them selfs. I feel that learning how to do this particular project
will be beneficial to my future classroom. There are many
different things we can use this program for such send a family
letter, calender or just a reminders home.
The third and last part of Project 5 was to create
trading cards. We used the table feature to insert a table that
was 2 columns by 10 rows to create math trading cards. I made a
total of 20 cards one had the number 1 on it and the matching card
spells out one. I have that from one to ten. I had never used the
table feature before so I tried to make it simple. I will
definitely use this feature in future projects and in my future
classroom.
