10/12/2016 0 Comments Wednesday, October 12thFinal two days to complete your 4th vacation package. Many of you look like you may not need FRIDAY to finish. You might finish today. If you finish today, you will have Friday to work other school-related tasks. Maybe you need to complete some CPM homework? Maybe you need to sign into google to work on a document for ELA/History? Maybe you need to research and take notes on a topic for an upcoming research paper? Otherwise, please be working hard on your vacation packages. Make them look exciting!

10/10/2016 0 Comments Monday October 10th!Good Afternoon everyone! Only 4 more days (and that includes today)! You must be done with your 4th Vacation package by the end of class on Friday. If you finish early, I still have NOT graded your Tokyo trips, but I will be doing so by the end of the day this Thursday. So, work efficiently, but don't be sloppy. Layout! Look at the picture to the left. That is one way in which you could structure your pages in order to earn all of the design points and make your information easier to read. Use Dividers! Use Columns! But most of all, DO NOT LEAVE UNUSED WHITE SPACE. White space looks bad and makes the site look sloppy. Be more strategic about using titles and headings please! Here is a great example of a well designed web page layout:
10/5/2016 0 Comments Wednesday, October 5thGood afternoon everyone, I am on-campus today at a meeting. I completely forgot I even had these meetings until about 8:30 PM last night which is why I didn't mention it yesterday. There will still be StudyLab after school today for anyone who needed that work time for some reason.
Even though I am not here, we will forge ahead with phase-4 of our project nonetheless. To recap: we have completed putting together 3 vacation packages thus far. We have yet to complete ONE additional package, plus we need to organize a homepage and make sure the look, feel, and organization of the entire site suggests that you own a reputable travel agency that can be trusted. Today we begin our 4th vacation. The location of which is COMPLETELY up to you :-) Create a new STANDARD page with NO HEADER in weebly and get to work. Your subtotal budget is $10,000. All the other requirements from the previous 3 vacation packages carry over on this one. I have a checklist that will be passed out to you today. HOWEVER, there is one thing that is different about this 4th vacation package. The 4th vacation package is going to involve a competition. For this competition you will be voting, as a class, on which vacation package is the most fun looking, most luxurious, and the best organized. I will provide more details on this on Friday. But there is approximately 150 points on the line (That's a lot!) for the person who's vacation package gets voted to be the best (and no you can't vote for yourself). Ok everyone, get to work. You only have 6 class periods (today is the first) to complete this package. 10/3/2016 0 Comments Monday October 3rd, 2016Please log in to your FUTURE SMART account and continue where you left off today. We are going to begin our final vacation destination tomorrow, and I will also introduce to you requirements for your Travel Agency Homepage (a pretty large part of this project!).
9/30/2016 0 Comments Friday, September 30th, 2016Your Tokyo trip is now due. Anyone who has finished can have a "free-Friday." Anyone who is not finished has today as an extra "grace-period" day today to complete the assignment once and for all (You're welcome).

<--- See that? That's me starting to grade your Paris and London Checklists/Webpages this morning. I've been working as quickly as I can. Please remember, I have 30 different websites to look through AND 30 different budgets to open. It might take me a couple of hours to get through everyone, but I am working on it and will turn over your grades to you as soon as I finish the first round. Reminder that we do have study lab after school TODAY. Today: I will be passing the Tokyo, Japan Checklists back out and I would like you to pick up where you left off. A few notes: 1. Please select "Business Class" when searching for your flights. If you only search "First Class" it won't include domestic airlines like Delta, or American. 2. On the excel sheet, please be sure you are using the correct formulas. Some of you were apparently doing manual math rather than harnessing the power of the excel sheet to make calculations for you. You will not receive credit unless formulas are doing the math for you. 3. Make sure your webpages LOOK nice. If they are thrown together and sloppy, you lose 20 points right off the bat. 4. Lastly, Please WRITE THE NAME of the activity you are including in your vacation package ON THE CHECKLIST next to each "Event." 9/19/2016 0 Comments Monday, September 19thOkay everyone! Today is the DUE DATE for your London, England vacation package. If you do NOT manage to finish before the end of the period, I will be seeing you in MANDATORY StudyLab BEFORE school tomorrow or AFTERSCHOOL on Wednesday. Work hard everyone. You must have your London England trip finished and PUBLISHED on your website so that I can view it. You also MUST have your Budget Excel Sheet saved IN YOUR SHARED FOLDER. If it is not in your shared folder you will receive NO CREDIT for it. If you were here on Friday and you FINISHED your London project, you have a free period to work on something else that's school related. Do your homework or complete some other class assignment. |
