A word of advice...

Well done for all your work on Saturday. We are ready to print a draft to go to our editorial team.

DO NOT work on any of the spreads unless directed by Mr. Letkeman or Mr. Romail.

Let's be very clear, DO NOT work on any of the spreads unless directed by Mr. Letkeman or Mr. Romail.

Now that you have nearly completed the Yearbook, take time to reflect on the process.

Write a blog post for the students in next year's Publication Design class offering advice for them.

Consider the IT skills you have learnt, time management, working with an editor, covering events, and anything else you think the new students might need.

Use headings in your blog post and make sure it is completed and posted by the end of today's lesson.

The year that was...

The Yearbook must have two spreads the look at what has happened in the world since August 2015.

Yesterday you selected an event for which you will be responsible.

Write a short article (in your own words!) about your event and find an image to accompany it (the image must be labelled for reuse).

Post your article, the image and attribution for the image on your blog (Fahd, share yours with me in a Google Doc) by 4pm Friday.

These articles will be used to create the two spreads about the world this year.

Digital tools to assist active reading and notetaking

Hello, you can find the videos of your presentations in the Research 10 Student folder in Google Drive.

Your homework tonight is to write a two paragraph blogpost about the three tools we learnt about today.

The first paragraph should cover the tools as a group. Do you see any value in using these kinds of tools in your academic life? Why or why not?

The second paragraph should cover one tool in detail. Consider how you would incorporate the features of your chosen tool into your research or notetaking process.

This will receive a grade and is due at the beginning of next lesson.

In groups you will investigate one of the following online tools and present your findings to the rest of the class.

Evernote

Your presentation should include the what, where, and why of the tool with specific reference to keeping track of information and sources while conducting research.
