Assignment Template:
You can submit your paragraph, do an audio or video recording, or create an “infographic” (like a poster but with more organized text) that includes all the parts of your writing balanced with some graphics that support the ideas in the text.
Assessment:
- A strong and clear opening statement.
- At least three logical and well-explained supporting reasons
- A strong closing statement.
- Your argument is highly persuasive.
Submission Options:
- Scan it as one big .pdf file (best idea)
- Drop off with your teacher (also a great idea, but more difficult to return)
- Scan it as multiple .jpg's and put them into a single WORD document
- Send link to an audio or video recording
- if no other way works, pull out your phone and take pictures. (Make them good pictures; then embed the pictures all into a single document.)
If you have a new scanner and are trying to figure out the best way to scan your Learning Guide for submission, here are some tips:
- Paper Size: 8.5 x 11 inches (most typical - or can re-size later)
- Colour Format: Grayscale (keeps file smaller then color, yet still clear)
- File Type: PDF (best), or JPG (if PDF isn't available)
- Resolution: 150 or 200 (can use 300 if small details don't show with 150/200)
Again, if you are scanning, your teacher doesn't want a big pile of separate files. You can combine your scans into a word document (page-by-page) and submit it as one file.
