Assignment: Your team will use MS-Publisher to create a newsletter that will recap what you have studied and learned this year in Tech-8, or will promote or report on an important organization or event.  

Alternate Projects Include:

Press kit for the Winners of the Toshiba ExploraVision Contest
Social Action: Promote Taybandz or H.O.P.E or similar charity

Alternate choices require my approval before you proceed.

The number of pages for the newsletter depends on your team size.  You choose the title of the newsletter.  You need not cite any references, as all of the content you produce should be original.  

Make sure each team member contributes at least two stories or editorials to the newsletter.

Ideas to consider writing about in your Tech-8 newsletter:

Write an article about how you have used what you have learned in Tech-8 in another class (i.e. Social Studies, Science, Math), or in your own life (have you taught your parents about something you learned about in Tech-8?)
Write an article about a joint Tech/Social Studies project that you liked doing
Interview team members about their favorite projects of this year
Write an article about what you think technology or Tech class will be like in the "school of the future"
Interview Mr. Silverman!
Write an article about your favorite software program (Inspiration, PowerPoint, Excel, Photoshop Elements, GIF animator)
Class surveys....
Crossword puzzles...
