After you turn it in you may visit class links, read a book, or work on homework from another class.

Week 4

Many of you are still working on step 2, which is creating the storyboard. Finish step 2 and turn it in. Make sure you only use open source pictures for your assignment or you will lose points. Use the link that I provided in the previous 2 entries.

After you finish step 2, begin working on your poster. You need to turn your storyboard into me first. Then come and ask me for a sheet of posterboard. Write your name on it somewhere. You may want to write it small in a corner in case you mess up and have to use both sides. Step 3 will likely take you 2-3 class periods if you do it correctly. Remember that you are being graded for neatness on this.
