Project #4
Microsoft Word Project

Annotation: This project was optional and required us to use adjectives to describe ourselves. We used Microsoft Word to create this project. In Microsoft Word we used the Word Art tool to write our our names and an adjective that matched each letter. This would me a good opening lesson for students at the start of a year to learn to use Micrsoft Word. It would also be a great way for the students to get to know one another; by printing out their acrostics and hanging them around the room.

Annotation: The second part of our option assignment was to create a handout. I decided to create a handout with informational tips for helping the Earth in honor of Earth Day! I did this project on Microsoft Word 2003 and then when I tried to edit it on Microsoft Word 2007 there were some things that didn't transfer. My background was too dark and I didn't know how to fix it. Through trial and error I eventually figured out how to washout by background. I felt very accomplished once I finally figured it out. This assignment was great practice for creating worksheets for a class. It was also a fun project I could see my students creating for projects in the future.
