Today you are going to learn about Climographs. Climographs are useful charts because they show you average temperature and precipitation for various places around the world. They are used by many different people. Meteorologists, farmers, and tourists are a few examples of different people who use climographs. I made a video that shows you how they work and how you can read them. To watch the video, go to the Video (V) Drive>Osborne>Computer Tutorials>Climographs

Next watch this video: Go to the Video (V) Drive>Osborne>Computer Tutorials>Copying and Adding Shapes in Word

For your assignment download this document: Climograph Template   Answer the questions on the first Climograph.Make sure you use a different color font and that you answer using complete sentences. For the 2nd and 3rd Climograph (New York and Sacramento), you need to use the data from this document Climograph Data to create the chart for New York and Sacramento.

Whenever you finish, save it and turn it in.

We still have a few groups that need to present today. It is also your final day with this partner. When we get back from break, you will be assigned a new partner.

If you have any missing assignments you must work on those first. If you have all of your work turned in, I want you to click this link. I want you to play this game. When you finish, leave your score on your screen and raise your hand. Whichever group has the highest score at the end of the hour will get a prize. You may use Google to help you. Remember that today we are on a shortened bell schedule.

Have a great Thanksgiving Break!

We are going to finish our presentations today. I will give you a little bit of time to get finished up and then we start our presentations.

We are going to start presentations today. We won’t be presenting the whole hour. That way, if you haven’t finished yet, you will still get some work time.

Continue working on the project. The plan is for us to start presentations tomorrow.

When you finish step #4, make sure you save it in the correct folder. Also, make sure you save it correctly. you have to click, “Save Movie” to convert it into a video file. 

After you turn it in, check Infinite Campus. Your log-in is the same username and password for logging onto the computer. Check to see if there’s any assignments that you don’t have a grade for. If there are any assignments that you don’t have a grade for, that means I never received them from you.

After you check your grades you may:

-Read a book

-Work on homework from another class

-Visit Class Links/Google Earth

Continue working on the project. The plan is for you to have today and tomorrow to finish it.

Some of you will finish step 4 today. Make sure you save it in the correct folder. Also, make sure you save it correctly. you have to click, “Save Movie” to convert it into a video file. 

Continue working on the project. You should be working on the Movie Maker (Step 4) portion of the project by now.

All of the directions for Movie Maker are in yesterday’s post. MUSIC IS THE VERY LAST THING YOU WILL DO WITH THIS PROJECT!

If you are able to finish the Movie Maker Video today, save it in the Shared (I) Drive>Osborne>Your Hour>Island Project

Name it:   hr-last name-last name-name of your island

For you to be where I think you should be, you need to begin working on Movie Maker at some point today. If you don’t make it there, you are a little bit behind.

I know many of you still need to finish and turn in your Storyboard. If you don’t remember how to turn it in:

1. Go to Google Classroom

2. Click on the assignment, “Storyboard”

3. At the bottom of the page, click the “Add” button

4. Select Google Drive

5. Select your Storyboard assignment and turn it in

If your pictures are having problems on Movie Maker:

1. Delete them from your project  2. Rename them in your H Drive   3. Put them back in your project.

If you are working on step #4 (Movie Maker), get all of your pictures and text inserted into the project. If you are ready to get your drawn picture into your project you will need to take a picture of it with a tablet. I have 2 tablets for you to borrow. After you borrow a tablet, follow these instructions for taking pictures and saving them to your H Drive:

1. Turn it on and Log in

2. Touch the Windows Icon in the bottom left corner

You need to be 100% finished with everything before you worry about finding and importing music into your Movie. MUSIC SHOULD BE YOUR VERY LAST STEP! Here is the link to the music website that you are allowed to use. This is the only music website that you can use for this assignment. You can watch a video that shows you how to use this website and how to save the music. Go to the Video (V) Drive>Osborne>Computer Tutorials>Importing Songs.

You also need to watch a 2nd video about the music at Video (V) Drive>Osborne>Computer Tutorials>Importing Songs 2  Make sure you watch both videos or you won’t be able to import your song into Movie Maker!

You can view my example video that I created by going to the Video (V) Drive>Osborne>Sports Island Example

Whenever you finish your movie/commercial, make sure that you save it the correct way. If you aren’t finished, save it like normal (File>Save as to your H Drive) Re-watch the Movie Maker Tutorial because it shows you how to save it in the correct format whenever you are 100% done with it. Whenever you save it in the video format I want you to save it to Students (I) Drive>Osborne>Your Hour>Islands

An overwhelming majority of students are still working on their Storyboards. That’s fine. I’m hoping most of you can get them finished and turned into me today.

If you have finished all of the steps up until now (must also have storyboard finished), you may have a free day as a reward for having everything done. You may:

-Read a book

-Work on homework

-Visit Class Links/Google Earth

After you finish the storyboard, you need to begin working on Step #4 which is the Movie Maker portion. Watch the tutorial video before you begin. Video (V) drive>osborne>computer tutorials>movie maker Do everything you can before you select your music. I will provide directions for inserting music next week. I will have tablets available for you to take the picture of your maps starting tomorrow.
