Friday, July 29, 2016

Today, we are going to do our last "future me" letter. Open a new tab and go to the website:

CLICK HERE TO GO TO FUTURE ME

I would like you to write about the following topics in your letter.

experience here at Jumpstart
What you hope to happen the first day/week of school
Friends you have made so far
Friends you are looking forward to hanging out with at RHS
Goals, plans for RHS (for school and personally....can be sports, etc)
Dreams/hopes for future after RHS
What you want to be when you "grow up"

I won't know if you followed the instructions, but it is up to you to do the right thing instead of copping out.

Also, set the date for the return email for June 7, 2017. You can send it to your school email or your gmail.

DAY 7 JUMPSTART ACADEMY 2020

Today, we are going to continue to think about the concept of photoshopping images and if it's a good or bad.

1. Choose from the four articles and read two of them.
2. Decide if photoshopping is either good or bad....you can't say both.
3. Create a new document in google docs. LastName,FirstName.Photoshop#2
4. Share that document with me.
5. Write a paragraph in which you choose either a positive or negative position/opinion about photoshopping. You need to include or refer to at least two statements/information that were in the articles.
6. So, it's a bit like yesterday's assignment but now you can't say it's both. You have to pick either photoshopping is good or it's bad.
