Project #5

This project was all about using different options than word processing in Microsoft Word.  It was divided into three different parts. 

The first part was to create a name acrostic poem using Word Art.  We first began by watching a video showing the how to do this project.  We then went on to creating our own name acrostic poem, using adjectives to describe us, which began with each letter in my name. 

The second part of this assignment was to use to boarder, shading, and watermark tool in Word to create a newsletter with a watermark and border around it.  I got a picture of an apple off the internet and used it for my watermark.  I then added the apple border by going into boarders and shading.  The letter I made is an example of what I will writing to the parents of my students someday. 

The third and final part of this project was to create trading cards dealing with anything that would be taught in an elementary classroom.  These would be very useful in the beginning in that they would help the students to practice different cocepts that are being taught.  I will definitely incorporate the trading cards that I made on Word to my class someday.  As another project, I could have my students make their own and share with the class. 

In this project, I learned a lot.  I learned that you are able to use the program, Microsoft Word in so many ways other than just word processing.  This will be very useful for my future as an educator.
