Today we learnt about colour palettes, font palettes and manipulating photos. The last part of our learning today was about backgrounds.
YOUR HOMEWORK is to work with your publication partner to find and agree on a background for your Faculty Profile.
Your 'publication partner' is the person who will have their profile in the same edition of WIN as you will. You can find their name in the Google Sheet we used to choose which teachers we will interview.
Look for a background using Google Images, remember to check that you can use it legally and that it is 'high quality'. When you have found something you like, send an email to your partner with a link to your preferred background to see what they think.
ON MONDAY, you will need your agreed upon background, the photos of your teacher, the bullet points and narrative in it's final proofread form.
You will be working in InDesign to make your faculty profile spread for the WIN. At the end of the lesson it will be finished and submitted to Ms. Fossum for approval.

Email for Teachers
Well done to all of you who have sent me your draft emails for the teachers. If I received your email, then I have sent you some feedback. Make sure you act on that feedback then send the revised email to the teacher you will be interviewing.
When you have made your appointment with the teacher, please record the date and time of the interview in the relevant column in the Google Sheet for this project.
Remember to take your camera (if you need to borrow one, see Mr. Arthur in the HS Lab) and think before you go about how you are going to record the teacher's answers to your questions.
Do not be afraid to ask for clarification if you are confused! It is important that the information we publish is accurate. Be sure that you have recorded the teacher's information correctly and that you understand what they are telling you before you leave the interview. You will not get a second chance to interview the teacher to check for understanding. Whatever you have when you leave them, is what you will use to make their profile.
Best of luck!

Your blog will be your 'binder' for this class. It is most important that you 'tag' or 'label' all of your posts for this class with the tag or label Research.
Please visit this Google Sheet called Blogs for graduating class of 2018 to give me your blog details. I will change the blog roll on the right hand side of this blog so that there are links to your blogs here. I will use these all the time when I am grading your work.
I am looking forward to teaching you this year.
