Tuesday we will wrap up your group Excel project and share the results with the class. Let's all see what you have...
So, we have some things to think about and I would like your feedback, so that we can make the projects I have in mind as fun for you as possible!
2 projects that I have in mind are:
- Book Publishers Project
- Time Capsule Project
As book publishers there are certain responsibilities you have:
- Getting the content
- Formatting your book
- Editing the copy (there are many types of editing that are required, but this is the one we will worry about)
- Organizing all the book parts
- Creating an appealing cover
I'm thinking, instead of asking you to write a book (time constraints), we will just take a book that's already written (whatever book you wish) and you can publish it in your style.
This project will cover Technology, English, Art, Math, Individual Creativity.
Any ideas or suggestions?

The Time Capsule Project
The Time Capsule idea is that we are going to store (electronically)
some selected items that could tell future generations a little more
about each of us.
Like a journal format (book publishers, need to edit, format, organize in a logical order, etc)
(some possible questions and suggestions)
-
Who are you and what are you all about right now?
-
What do you want to be when you're older?
-
What's one thing you wish you could tell someone in the future you
can't tell them now? (they won't find out about it until the time
capsule is opened)
-
What is something you would like to accomplish in your lifetime?
-
How do you see the world in the future (countries, governments, disasters, accomplishments, etc)
-
What kinds of events do you think will happen in your lifetime?
-
Who are your heroes? (name 5 in different areas of life and why—for
example don't pick 5 different sports players, but you could pick one)
-
What is you favorite music or songs/artists?
-
What are your favorite movies?
- Things that you strongly believe in (politics, religion, science, rights of individuals, etc)
-
Whatever you would like to tell the future: Maybe a video/audio/PowerPoint/etc message/prediction/warning/suggestion for future generations...
Then I would like you to think about pictures, music, videos, audio recordings you would like to include. There will be limits such as standard Pinewood appropriateness, space on whatever storage device we use, and time that we have to do this.
This project will cover Technology, English, Music, Art, Math, Individual Creativity.
Any ideas or suggestions?
