Field Trip Thursday

Just a quick reminder that our field trip to the Symphony and Art Museum is Thursday.  I have posted the permission form on our website in case it got misplaced.  We will depart by bus at 9:45 and return by 2:30.  Cold lunches are needed and plan to wear our red ZION shirts.

Prezi Begins

The presentation design for our research projects began in English and computer lab today.  If your child experiences technical difficulties at home, email the problem to Mrs. Gilmore and then plan to work on one of the following steps that don't require using Prezi:

*Organize notecards - plan your "frames" for the Prezi
*Begin planning your speech to go with each frame.  Remember an introduction and conclusion sentence for each topic
*Locate any pictures you plan to use and have them already downloaded on your flashdrive.  Remember citation information.

We discovered some difficulty with Prezi on older computers .  Students will be working each day in English class on the Prezi design on our updated laptops and, if their ideas are organized, will be able to complete all the technical steps at school.
