Web Design; Frogmen

Okay class, Here is a demo version of what the website you are going to be creating net week should look like: Mack and the Boys

Research Paper

Take a closer look at a PDF example

Some of my Ceramics students have had a rough time trying to get their research papers formated correctly. Remember to refer to a copy of the BVCS Research Paper Guidelines handbook (available in the office or from your English teachers). But when in doubt, the JPEG above, or the link to the PDF will show you how it should look.

Guys, here are three graphics that you will need to save to your "XX97" folders on your flash drives that we will be using next week to build our "Mack and the Boys Frog Collectors" website with MS Frontpage.

Web Design: Browse around for a better browser

A Web browser is a software application that enables a user to display and interact with text, images, and other information typically located on a Web page at a website on the World Wide Web or a local area network.

Drawing; Igor

Just in case you were wondering if this guy really looked like the crazy drawing by Picasso that you copied upside down, here's a photo of him from the 1930's.

Igor Fyodorovich Stravinsky (Russian: Игорь Фёдорович Стравинский, Igor' Fjodorovič Stravinskij) (June 17, 1882 – April 6, 1971) was a Russian composer, considered by many in both the West and his native land to be the most influential composer of 20th century music.

D.E.A.R. Time; book reviews

I have written lots of book reviews on my "Mallory's Milieu" website. I keep many of these books in my classroom and students are more than welcome to borrow them for Drop Everything And Read (DEAR) time fourth hour. The more you read, the easier it gets, the easier it gets, the more you actually enjoy it, and the more you enjoy it, the more you learn, about everything. Smart isn't something you are or aren't- it's something you choose to be and the quickest way to get smarter is by reading.

Here is part of a review of a book that I just finished, which I had been reading during DEAR times:

Dead Wrong

Posted by Mallory's on Sep 2, '07 8:26 PM for everyone

Category:	Books
Genre:	Mystery & Thrillers
Author:	J.A. Jance

Wow, what can I say? I was SO glad to see that Jance wasn't done with her character, Johanna Brady! Brady is the fictional 30-something sheriff of Cochise County in Southeastern Arizona. This time she has been re-elected, re-married, and is 9 months pregnant. This book has her breaking up a dog-fighting ring (very topical, right?) and solving a 30 year old cold case that her dead father was the arresting officer on. She has to deal with her obnoxious mother, being a mother of a teenager herself, her insane new in-laws, worrying about the well being of two of her subordinates, and the media on top of multiple murders.
