Asia PowerPoint Presentations

Today you will have over half the class to work on the PowerPoint. We will start presentations later this hour. Make sure you and your partner know who is going to cover each part of your presentations. Also, make sure you have it saved in the correct location. When you are finished, turn it into the shared drive folder:

Students (I) Drive>Osborne>Your Hour>Name of Country

Asia PowerPoint

Keep working on your project. Today, some of you will likely finish the actual PowerPoint. Whenever that happens, go through your presentation with your partner and figure out who will talk about what. Also, it’s very likely you will want to write notes to look off of for your presentation.

If you finish your PowerPoint, save it in the following folder:

Student (I) Drive>Osborne>Your Hour>Name of Country

Asia PowerPoint

Continue working on the project. From watching you work yesterday, some groups are doing a good job following the Do’s and Don’ts of PowerPoint, but there are still too many groups typing everything word for word on their slides. Make sure you will be talking to us during your presentations instead of reading to us.

Southeast Asia PowerPoint

Here the the directions to your Southeast Asia PowerPoint Assignment:   Southeast Asia Project

Here is the PowerPoint I went over today that gives you tips on what you should or shouldn’t have in your PowerPoint: PowerPoint Do’s and Don’ts

Remember!

DON’T USE TOO MUCH TEXT ON YOUR SLIDES! Stay away from complete sentences. 

Remember, if you have text on your slides it should serve 1 of 2 purposes:

1. It’s important and you want it emphasized to your audience

2. You want it on there to help you remember to talk about it (You can have notes when you speak though too)

You will have the rest of the week to work on this. We will start presentations next Tuesday or Wednesday. I’m going to be more picky on grading your presentations so make sure you follow the Do’s and Don’ts of PowerPoint to get the best score possible.

Presentations

I have a couple of PowerPoints that I’m going to go over with you. The first one will show you the basics of China. The second PowerPoint will be the Do’s and Don’ts of PowerPoint.

Southeast Asia Scavenger Hunt

Hopefully most of you got this finished on Friday. If you were able to get it done, turn it in. If didn’t finish it, I will give you about 10 minutes before I have everyone move onto today’s assignment.

Southeast Asia Economy

In our next assignment we are going to look at the economy of Southeast Asia. You will use Excel to complete the assignment.

If you don’t remember how to use Excel, you can watch the tutorial video that I made. Go to the  (V) Drive. Inside the V Drive, I want you to click the following: Osborne>Computer Tutorials>Semester 2 Excel Basics.

I want you to create a document that has:

1. 5  Headings- Countries, $GDP, Life Expectancy, Literacy Rate, and Classification.    I want you to use size 20 font for the headings and make them bold.

2. In the countries column there are 15 countries I want you to include. They are: India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, China, Mongolia, North Korea, South Korea, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, and Japan.

3. In the $GDP column, you need to use this link to find the GDP per capita in each of the countries.  Type the GDP for each country in the column. Make sure you use dollar signs. If you want to you can do what I did in the video and highlight the column and change the numbers to currency instead of typing the $ sign. I want whole numbers. I don’t want your decimal point to show cents. Ex. $32,ooo       not   $32,000.oo

4. Use this link to find the life expectancy rates for each country. Round each number so there aren’t any decimal points. They should all be whole numbers.

5. Use this link to find the literacy rates for each country.Use the literacy rates for the total population.  Round each number so there aren’t any decimal points. They should all be whole numbers as a percent. Japan and South Korea aren’t listed on this website. Japan =99%  and South Korea =98%.

**To make it easy on yourselves, highlight the cells and format them as a percentage and 0 decimal places BEFORE you type the numbers in the cells for Literacy Rate. If you type the numbers first, you will have to manually go in and delete extra zeros from your cells**

6. For the Classification column, I want you to look at the data to determine whether you believe they are a developed, developing, or a middle income country. Write which one you believe each country is.

You can use this chart as a guide to help you determine the classification.

	DEVELOPED (rich)	MIDDLE-INCOME	DEVELOPING (poor)
LIFE EXPECTANCY	M – 70 and above F – 80 and above	M – 60’s & 70’s F – 70’s	M – below 60 F – below 70
INFANT MORTALITY	Below 10	11 – 25	Above 25
LITERACY RATE	97% or above	80% – 96%	Below 80%
PER CAPITA GDP	Above $20,000	$8,000 – $19,999	Below $8,000

 

7. After each column is finished, make a 2-D Column Chart for GDP. You will do it the exact same way that I did in the video.

8. Make a 2-D Bar Graph for Life Expectancy. You will do it the exact same way that I did in the video.

After you finish save it.  hr-last name-last name-AsiaExcel

Absent

Even though I’m not here today, I expect you to be on your best behavior for the sub. If your name gets left behind for disciplinary issues, you can expect a referral when I get back.

Southeast Asia Scavenger Hunt

Continue working on the assignment from yesterday, You didn’t get very much time to work on it. The link to the assignment is in yesterday’s post. I’m hoping that you will get this finished today.

If you get it finished, save it and turn it in to me when we come back to school on Tuesday.

Missing Assignments

I will give you some time to finish missing assignments. Almost everybody still needs to finish the map from Tuesday. If you have any assignments that you don’t get finished, make sure to save them to the Shared Student (I) Drive>Osborne>Your Hour folder so you both can access it. You have until next Friday to turn them in with no penalty.

After your time is up, I will put a new seating chart on the board. Don’t open or start the assignment below until you are sitting with your new partner. 

Southeast Asia

We are going to spend the next several weeks learning about Southeast Asia. After you get new partners you are going to work on this Southeast Asia Scavenger Hunt to help you get introduced to this part of the world. You can get the document from here: Southeast Asia Scavenger Hunt

Whenever you finish, save it and turn it in.

Africa Test

Today you are going to take your test over Africa.

You can access the test here. 

This is the same website you have used for your common assessment tests.

Your username is your first name, your last name, 756     There are no commas and no spaces. For example, my username would be:  jacobosborne756

Yours should look exactly like that except you will insert your first and last name instead of mine.

You must use your official school name. For example, if your name is William, but you go by Will, you must use your proper name William.

If you have 2 last names make sure you use both last names on your log-in. For example: If your name is Jose Reyes-Lopez, you would need to put josereyeslopez756.

Your password is your Mosis #.

Whenever you finish your test press “Submit”. You don’t have to tell me or show me your score. I have access to all of the scores.

There is to be no talking for the rest of the hour. If you talk, you will receive a 0. I will give you the secret word in a couple of moments.

After the Test

If you haven’t finished your project, work on that quietly. Tomorrow is a catch up day, but most students need to finish the map from yesterday.

After you finish you are allowed to do what you are always allowed to do.

1. Read a book

2. Work on homework from another class

3. Visit Class Links or Since this is a test day, I will allow you to go to CoolMath whenever you are finished.
