3-Point Perspective Drawing (Dark Tower Assignment)
The Dark Tower assignment gets its name from one of the images I showed the class, but the drawing does not have to be dark, or even of a tower.
I passed out 3-point perspective paper to be used for the drawing. For our purpose, it should be done used upside down (with the copyright info at the bottom.)

Fun Excel Spreadsheets #1
Click on these links and download the documents:
We will review them to see different ways Excel can be used.
The following templates are from one of my favorite sites: Vertex42
Gantt Chart
Soccer Templates
Calendar
Simple Budget.
Assignment: follow along and manipulate the spreadsheets the way I did on the projected screen.
(no written homework)
REFLECTION: This activity went well. The conditional formatting had the biggest Wow factor. My objective was to show students that Excel can be used for more than graphs. I believe it succeeded. Year 5 went a little better because I had the links for Vertex all ready to go.

Secondly, go to some sites and learn about Ishmael Beah and his home country: Sierra Leone. Then I want you to write a reflection on the question:

Links to online resources:
Ishmael Beah's official Website featuing his book: A Long Way Gone: Memoirs of a Boy Soldier
A link to an excerpt of A Long Way Gone that includes chapter 1.
Allow yourself time to write a good paragraph or two about what you learned from these links.
Turn in your map and reflection into the red tub.
See you next week. Enjoy your long weekend!

How-To Screenshot Project
Good afternoon 10 graders,
I am assigning a new project. I will hand out copies of the How-To Project Instructions in class today.
You may look at one of Mr. Johnson's How to find Computer Sign-up Sheet (one I did for CIS teachers), and look at Prezi example as well: How to Use Formulas in Excel.
These examples give you a general idea of how to do the project. They do not show all the components requrired for your assignemnt.
Enjoy!
