Computers 8 DETECTIVE DIARY


Grade Eight Computers “Detective Diary” Assignment:

 

You are on a mission Grade Eights. You have been hired by the CIA to track criminal activity in a country of your choice (ie. Miss Rybinski is working as a detective/secret agent for the CIA in Lourdes, France. There have been criminals who have stolen parts of the statue of Our Lady of Lourdes and Miss Rybinski is responsible for tracking suspicious activity in the area.)

 

Over the course of the next five classes, you are responsible for writing FIVE detective diary entries that include details of your secret agent observations. You must write only ONE entry per class. Each diary entry must include ONE picture with a description (use a TEXT BOX to describe the photo) and use WORDART to place your signature into Diary entry. Each diary entry must be at least two paragraphs (reminder: a paragraph is 3-5 sentences long) in length.  BEFORE YOU BEGIN PLEASE ENSURE THAT YOU ARE ON “LEFT JUSTIFIED TEXT (CTRL + L) and SINGLE SPACING (CLICK ON PARAGRAPH UNDER THE HOME TAB AND CHOOSE SINGLE SPACING @ 0 PT.)

 

In the final journal entry – this is WHEN the CASE IS SOLVED.

 

Please make use of other Microsoft Word features such as changing the colour and style of your font (You can do this by using the keyboard shortcut CTRL + D). You can also add tables by clicking on INSERT à TABLE to write in data that you observed.

 

You MUST select a PAGE BORDER which is found under the DESIGN TAB in Microsoft word. You can choose a number of different border styles by clicking on PAGE BORDERS.  

 

Be creative with assignment! Miss Rybinski will have a sample Diary entry for you to refer to.

Computers 8 WHERE HAVE I BEEN Assignment


Grade Eight Computers: WHERE HAVE I BEEN ASSIGNMENT

 

You are on a trip to your most favourite place in the world and are writing a letter home to your mom, your dad, your sister, brother, friend, cousin – whoever you would like to address your letter to! Your task is to show where you have been by inserting pictures, using text boxes, and including a brief write up of your adventures!

    Write letter here.
  2. A brief summary of your events:
    Ex.
    Dear Miss Rybinski – O wonderful cookie maker,
     
    I am writing to you from Krakow, Poland. I arrived here two weeks ago and have fallen in love with the country. Some highlights include going to see the birthplace of Pope John Paul II, Faustina Kowalska and Maximilian Kolbe, seeing the Auschwitz Concentration camp (this was haunting because you could feel a sense of hurt that remains from many years ago), seeing the Wieliczka salt mines, and lastly, spending time with my extended family from Ruda, Poland.
     
    I have included some pictures in my letter so you can see some of Poland for yourself!

Los Angeles Religious Education Congress 2016

Hello everybody!


I returned to Prince Albert from the Annual Los Angeles Religious Education Congress on Tuesday Morning at approximately 1:04A.M. My time spent at the LA Religious Education Congress was absolutely AMAZING! I have never celebrated the Eucharist with so many other individuals in one place at one time! When we recited the Lord's Prayer the words echoed and boomed throughout the arena at the Anaheim Convention Centre - a structure nearly as large as my home town (OK, perhaps that is a bit of an exaggeration...but the centre was heeeeeuge!) The Congress was an experience I will cherish forever (which is a really, really long time). I met so many amazing people from all areas of the United States of America...New York, Chicago, Half Moon Bay...just to name a few. I recognized how powerful love and mercy are in our world! I encourage all of you to SMILE at every person you encounter and see what their reaction is! (It's actually really fun!) God bless you all and I hope you enjoyed your loooooong weekend! PAX, CARITAS ET CONCORDIA! (Go Google the English translation for that rrrrright now).
