You will be given all day today and tomorrow to submit the Pizza Menu assignment - it will be due Friday at the end of the hour.  Here are a couple of things to keep in mind:

• you should have two pages when you are done
• print the two pages and put in order so yours looks like a pizza menu
• you are NOT required to have a watermark, but it is ok to include one (if you dont know how to do this or havent added one yet I would recommend you dont include it)
• dont forget to include the 6 small graphic images (step 7 of the inside left and right panels)
• youll need to have a border around each different category (step 10 of the inside left and right panels)

When you are done you might want to check to see if you have any missing assignments - if so you need to work to get them done ASAP - they are due tomorrow!  If you do not have any missing assignments you may play the typing games on the blog, work on homework from another class, or read.

Today we will watch the last video related to our vocab lists.  This, in my opinion, is the coolest of all of the videos we have watched!  It is amazing to see what you can do with this software!

In addition to watching the video I will be showing you how to add the text box borders that are talked about in step 10 on page 2.  The text box/borders are only needed for the inside of the menu - they should surround the 8 different categories on the menu (it acts as a good way to visually separate the 8 different categories).

The video we are going to watch today will help you to understand a little more about an amazing piece of software called Photoshop.  This is used in many different graphic design careers, and it is easily the most dynamic image editing software on the market. Since we dont use Photoshop it is a little more difficult to understand just exactly how its used, but again, for what you need to know, just understand that its purpose is to manipulate images in a wide variety of ways.  The video will talk about Adobe Bridge and Camera Raw as these are additional parts of Photoshop - you will not need to know about these things.  

After watching the video youll have time to work on your pizza menu.  I told you yesterday that I would cover some additional information today...Ill save that for tomorrow and explain it then (you wouldnt have gotten to that part today anyway).  When you are entering your information your speed skin should be on your keyboard.

Here is the last video of the year:

After watching the video we will begin working on our last formatting activity.  I will spend some time today explaining the formatting activity - I actually have one part that I need to show you how to do.  Once I get done going through the activity you will be able to begin.  This will be due next week.

As is the normal procedure on vocab quiz day you will be given several minutes to review for the vocab quiz.  You will not go to Classmarker until told to do so.

Once you complete the quiz you will have the rest of the hour to work on the pizza menu.  A couple of things to keep in mind:

1. The set of sheets you were given yesterday is the same set you should be using today (you were told that yesterday).  Use it to keep notes, write on, mark off steps youve completed, etc.  Bring it to class and take it with you when you leave.
2. Go through the instructions in order.  You will be much better off if you do!  Step #6 on page 2 is where you will start entering your information (the pizza menu item and prices).
3. Save to your Google Drive or to a flash drive frequently!  
4. Read all of the instruction before you work on doing what it tells you.  Many of you read the first sentence, or just the first part of a sentence, and then start doing something.  This causes you to leave something out at the end of an instruction or sentence that may be important for a future step.

HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!

Youll have the entire hour to work on the Pizza Menu today.

There are a couple of reminders about the menu - remember to include the following:

6 images; colored text boxes around the categories; you should have 2 pages - one page will have the menu and prices, then the other page will be the front and back of the menu. 

When you get done entering the information for the menu and prices you will just move to the next page and start working on the Outside Back Panel (remember that you might have part of the menu that spills over to this part - thats ok!).  The Outside Back Panel will be the left side of the second page.  Once you get done entering your information here you will then move to the right side of the second page (or to the second column of the second page) and enter the information for the Outside Front Panel. 

When you get done I would like to see you print out your two pages so you can see how this looks like a menu.  Staple the pages together and hand in the gray tray on my desk.

As a last resort, if you do not get done today you can still work on this at home or during Study Hall, lunch recess, etc. and then turn it in late.  Obviously turning it in late will not earn you full credit, but you will at least get some credit.  Also remember we have next Thursday and Friday (May 22 and 23) that we will have all class hour to work on missing work...but again if you wait until then to hand this in you will not get full credit.

The pizza menu is due today!  However, as I mentioned yesterday, you could still turn it in tomorrow, you just wont earn full credit.

Additionally, if you have any missing assignments you have to have those turned in tomorrow as well.

Tomorrow and Friday well complete the bracket challenge - if youre still alive in the tournament bring it on!!!
