Other Helpful HintsOther Helpful HintsAvoid working on this project at home and in school. That’s how problems in formatting and compatibility occur.

Remember that you need to use at least six electronic images in your book.

Oftentimes, light background colors will remain white when printing here at school. The final slide in these directions is supposed to be yellow but prints out white.

White text will print black on school printers. The “Boun” in Bouncing on Audrey’s picture is white on the computer.

Remember that you need to use and underline at least four nouns on the nouns page, four adjectives on the adjectives page, and four adverbs on the …

(6) Begin researching nouns. Use any notes you’ve taken in class and the grammar and usage section of the Writing Help page on Mr. Stratton’s Classroom Online. There are tons of web sites there for parts of speech research.

(7) Avoid designing your cover, title and back page first. These pages will be worth fewer points, so save them for last.

(8) Once you’ve researched nouns, write your “nouns” text and add whatever images / pictures you are going to use for “nouns.” Remember that you need to use at least 7 images / pictures total in this book, and that you need to give credit on the back page for images taken from web sites.

Select the image, place the cursor on a corner, push shift, and drag cursor toward opposite corner.

Funky, funny, rockin’, fun,

Benjamin Folds is number one.

Adjective — 4

(9) Select images you have to reduce in size over images you need to enlarge. Enlarging images makes them pixilated. Reducing an image keeps the dots per inch consistent, maintaining photo quality.

(10) To reduce the size of an Internet photo in PowerPoint, select the image, place your cursor over a corner of the image, hold the shift key, and drag the cursor toward the opposite corner. This will reduce both the image’s height and width proportionally. See page 7 for a diagram of this.

(11) You can also use the crop function to make the image fit as well as it possibly can between the guidelines of your pages. The crop button will appear under “Tools” of the formatting palette when you click on the photo you are working with.
