MS Publisher 2007

Introduction to MS Publisher

Good Morning Everyone!!

We will be starting our unit on MS Publisher with an easy project.  For this project, please think of a business you like in West Philadelphia.  I would like you to create the best POST-CARD advertisement for your company.  The particulars are as follows:

1. Design must be in line with other marketing documentation and letterhead.
2. Color Scheme should be similar to the company's website.
3. Post Card back will be a coupon of some sort.

Cards must be emailed to me by tomorrow at the end of class.  I will demonstrate prior to independent instruction.  Grading will be as follows:   (10 Total Points for Project)

• Spelling and Grammar is worth 3 points
• Layout and Creativity is worth 2 points
• Color Scheme and Pictures is worth 2 points
• Content as listed above is worth 3 points.

I will be looking forward to your entries.  The student with a winning entry will receive the prize.   There are no prizes for second place.  Start thinking about articles for a newsletter for the company.  We will be creating a company newsletter for our next project.  We will also be working on other publications over the next few weeks.  This unit will culminate with a MS Movie Commercial Project for your business.  Your class will be formed into a Marketing Department and will be tasked with creating Letterhead, Documents, and advertising materials.

Good Luck,

Mr. S

Google Mapping Project For Today

ALL:

BUSTECH MAP

Your Google Map must include the following points:  UCHS, Your Home, Your favorite restaraunt, your favorite store, a bus stop near your home, and at least 5 historical/interesting sites in the city.  Once done, share your map with me as well.

Once you have completed the restaurant task, please complete the following:

Pick a project you are doing for another class.  Any project will do.  Find the location of the information you are working on, and place a Red Marker on the site on our map.  Please include a "RICH TEXT" format for the post, and add a picture from Google Images to go along with your posting.  An example post is already on the map from me!!  You can find it in New Albany, Indiana.  Once you have posted your note, please email me the location of your post so I can make a master list and let everyone know about the places you are studying about in our school!!

Your Assignment, at your own pace and time, is to answer the following questions (Email Me When You Have Completed These Tasks):

• Pick 4 sites that have been posted by your peers and find the closest museum to each.
• Pick 1 site posted by your peers and identify the city and identify when the city was founded and by who. 
• What is the major industry in a city near one of the points posted by your peers.
• Identify at least 3 National Monuments and add your name and student ID number to a purple marker there on our map.
• Identify a site where you would like to go on a vacation if money was no object.  Use a Yellow Marker.
