I have added a new assignment. Please check your email and follow the instructions on the handout.
Computer Applications and Keyboarding Students
Hi everyone,
I hope you are taking precautions and being careful with your day to day living. I am asking each of you to keep a daily journal of what you are doing, the things going on around you, and how you feel daily. Add your name and the date at the top of each journal entry, and tell me what is going on with you, around you, and how you feel daily. I will be sending you short stories via email. I would like for you to read them. While we are home one of the most entertaining things we could do is to read and write. Take care
Takeout Menu Step 1
Think about a small restaurant, the type of restaurant, and what you would like to offer. Plan a small menu on either a sheet of paper or in MS Word if you have it available. Write a list of the items you would offer, the prices, and the ingredients for items that need to be cooked by your chef. Include restaurant name, address, email, phone, your name, mission statement. You will also have to create a logo for your place. Please be mindful of the fat that everything must be original, made up by you, NOT copied off the internet. Those of you without a computer, may leave the mission statement and/or logo until we get back. Please do not stress over this. Do your best. I realize that I did not have a chance to explain this further when we were at school. Therefore, have fun with this and stay connected to the district and myself by checking your email often. Be careful and be safe.
Computer Applications
We will begin by taking a look at the Takeout Menu project. This will take you a week and a half to complete. I expect it to done by March 25th. While working on the project. Project details will be sent via your school email with specific attachments so that you may complete the work.
All Computer Applications Classes
Students, check your school email daily for assignments, lessons, and guidance.
