1) Check your grades in Powerschool.  Prove to me that you checked your grades by replying to this email and filling in all of the red boxes below.

2)       Complete the Dreamweaver Exercises that are listed on the board. Remember to choose the site “Dreamweaver Exercises” and then make sure it says Chapter 7. If not, call me over and I’ll show you how to change it. As usual, you will receive 20 points for completing the exercises by the end of class. If you do not complete them by the end of class, you can only get half credit for late classwork.

 Today, you will add another page called “Implementing the Action Plan.” Basically, this page proves that you actually carried out your 10 step action plan. You can use pictures to record what you do, or your team can keep a journal or blog and add a journal entry every time you do something. To see an example, click here. For reading all of the Do Now, you can get extra credit by typing “Extra Credit—Oo La La” in the subject. You must follow the directions exactly in order to receive credit. 

Same as above.

You will do the following today:

a)       First, you must update your Project Timeline (10 points).  Please note the changes that I had made to the timeline.  I will have a conference with your group, so be prepared.

b)       Next, you will add another page called “Results.”  Basically, this page talks about whether your action plan had the desired effect.  You can use the same kinds of evidence as the Evidence page to prove that your plan worked or didn’t work.  To see an example of the Results page, click here. 

c)       Lastly, you will create a design for your website that makes it special.  If your project ends up looking just like mine, you will receive 0 points.  You can get ideas from other websites that you like, or from the books that I’m passing around.  A good place to start is the winners of last year’s Cyberfair: http://www.globalschoolhouse.org/GSH/cf/winners.html
