Just a few "Frequently Asked Questions" and general advice about the project due on Friday:
1.) With NECAP and a hectic start this year, the project is will most likely be your only "test" grade for this quarter. That means that this project will be half of your first quarter grade.
2.) A "long" assignment is one that reflects 3 (or more) complete paragraphs of writing. Some of the most popular choices for a "long" would be: letter, newspaper or magazine article, an email, a blog post, a journal or diary entry, various kinds of reports, an obituary, and an editorial.
3.) If you're having issues printing the iPhone from the text template we looked at in class, take a screenshot. Paste the screenshot into MS Word (or something similar). You should then be able to crop it and resize it as you see fit.
4.) Use screenshots in general. Many of these tools I provided in my previous post with links will not copy and paste that easily. Using a screenshot, pasting and cropping is a simple way around this problem.
5.) Do not give me poster boards please. I need to take these home to grade so please keep it to 8 1/2 x 11 or smaller. Thank you!
6.) The best piece of advice I can give you on this project is to look at models of whatever it is that you are trying to create. Do not assume you know what a criminal report looks like (if you do, I have some questions for you...) Use Google to find exemplars to use as guidelines.
7.) All your pieces should be original pieces, authored by you. You should not be pulling text out from your book. Original pieces only please.
8.) When in doubt, type it. I prefer most work typed. It's easier for you to write and definitely easier for me to read.
If you have any other questions or concerns, do not hesitate to email me.
