Project #5: Microsoft Word Project:

Part One: Acrostic Word Poem

Annonation

For this first project, I used Microsoft word to create an acrostic poem using word art. To complete this project, I learned how to use word art and how to format the different styles. I could incorporate this activity into my classroom by having each student create their own word acrostic using words that represent them, then each student can share their poem with the class so that other students can learn more about them.

Part Two: Border and Shading

Annotation

For this project I learned how to insert page borders and to format them to how I want them to look. I also learned how to do fill effects such as a watermark as a background to the page. I decided to create a newletter about going to an apple farm. I began by choosing an apple border, then found a picture of an apple in clipart, and used the watermark button to give it that faded look. This is a good skill for me to learn because I can incorporate these effects into my handouts. These effects will make my handouts more exciting to read and may help with understanding what the handout is about.

Part Three: Trading Cards

Annonation

For the final project I created trading cards that could be used in a Kindergarten or First grade classroom. To create these cards, I learned how to create a table that could be folded in half to become trading cards. I decided to make my trading cards for Kindergarten/First grade, therefore I chose to focus on different occupations. These cards will be useful to students when learning about different occupations or other information about topics being taught. they are easy to make and fun for students to use.
