Word Project: Dinosaur Scrapbook

Purpose:
  • To create a scrapbook type project with all the students in the classroom about dinosaurs. Students will have a fun time drawing and coloring a picture of themselves with a dinosaur they choose. However, they will go onto a website to research the dinosaur of interest to them and have to write down facts. Therefore, the assignment can be both fun and educational.
Word Project is on Educ2040Barger

Personal Growth
  • I had never used word other than to type up papers or letters, so trying to do something completely different and creative was a challenge. I had never really made tables or scrapbooks on word before so just trying to organize everything and getting everything to fit a certain way was difficult. I had a lot of problems and it was frustrating because everything would shift depending on if the picture was too big or if I added a text box or word art in a wrong place. I think I have a better sense of all the different tools that Word offers, not just for writing papers but for making other projects as well.
