10-27-09 Assignments

I am out sick today -- hope to be in school tomorrow and look forward to seeing you on Thursday!

You have two assignments today:

1. You will explore websites and create a powerpoint of images and ideas about conflict. You can copy and paste images; type; you can also printscreen and paste the whole screen image. you can then crop the image to take out all the extra bits. Please, please, please resize the images proportionately! go to the corner of the image, hold down the shift key, and reduce or increase the size proportionately! Thank you

Check out these websites:

Since we have more students than computers, please share - but be sure you are working and not socializing =0)

2. Read the article at the PAT blog. (The link is also below)
Write a response to the article by addressing each of these questions:

  • What is the main idea of the article? How do you know?
  • What is the author's purpose in writing this article? Does the author have a bias or point of view? Explain how this bias influences the article.
  • How do you fit in to this article? Do you relate more to the author, one of the people the author writes about? Who? Explain.

You may write your response in your journal or loos paper or you may type into your blog as a new post. Title the post "Article Response"

All of today's work will be graded and counted in to the next 9 weeks grading period.
