GRADE 6 ACTIVITIES
HTML Ordered Lists: Using the <ol> and </ol> tags, you can create a simple outline. The <ol> can create various levels of indention when you include its type in the leading <ol> tag
- like this: <ol type="I"> <li>First main category</li> <li>Second main category</li> </ol> To add a sub-category, you would use the next type after the Roman Numeral I, which is A - like this: <ol type-"I"> <li>First main category</li> <li>Second main category: <ol type="A"> <li>First sub-category</li> <li>Second sub-category</li> </ol> </li> </ol> |
A third level of indention would use the Arabic numeral type instead of the Roman numeral type to create a sub-sub-category - like this:
<ol type="I"> <li>First main category</li> <li>Second main category: <ol type="A"> <li>First sub-category</li> <li>Second sub-category <ol type="1"> <li>First sub-sub-category</li> <li>Second sub-sub-category</li> </ol> </li> </ol> </li> </ol> The next level of indention uses lowercase letters (type="a") |
In all of these, notice where the list item tags ( the <li> and </li> ) are used, especially where the ending tag is placed. The picture below shows a complete outline formatted all the way down to the next type (lowercase letters - type="a") following the formatting shown above.
Your Assignment: You will create a simple outline using real topics/items you can categorize down to the fourth level as shown (I, A, 1, a) You only need two sub categories at any level, but you can add more. [Don't go crazy here. I just want to see you demonstrate an understanding of this kind of formatting.]
(Note: in the image above, there are two sets of A. B. sub-categories. You only need one. There are also two 1. 2. sub-sub-categories. You only need one.) |

WORD PROCESSING: AESOP's FABLES
1. Go to this website and select ONE Aesop's Fable that you like. Copy the fable completely and paste it into a Word file.
2. Hopefully, you chose one that could include dialogue, whether or not it's included in the story you chose. In other words, the story should have at least two creatures interacting with one another. If not, choose another. You are going to add your own dialogue to the story you have chosen. If there is already dialogue in the story, you may use it, but you will still have to add your own dialogue.
3. For each character in the story, you will need to have at least three separate lines spoken by that character, and every character in the story will have to say something that relates to what the others are saying AND to what is going on in the original story.
4. Be sure your formatting of dialogue is correct.

Personal Logo Project
In this project, you will create an image that says at least two things about you in addition to the photo we'll take at school. The photo is described below. Its background will show at least two things about you that are not in the photo of you but that tell us something about your personal story. This will be your logo for your website, and other work you'll do this year. WE WILL CREATE IT IN CLASS!
Your image will NOT include your face. In fact, it will only see the BACK OF YOUR HEAD and/or a profile silhouette.
You must plan for your picture to be taken at school. You can wear a hat, ribbon, button, glasses, etc. but ALL will be touching THE BACK OF YOUR HEAD. No words can appear on the photo. And nothing can be on your shoulders - only your head (and ears). Consider this a disguise to someone who doesn't know you, but something still recognizable by anyone who does know you. Think of how you can give us a hint with something without giving away your identity too easily. Be ready to have your photo taken when we come back to school in January by bringing whatever you need to disguise the back of your head. Your head shape must be visible, so NO BAGS OR COMPLETE COVERINGS ALLOWED. |
The first part will be created in Paint.net using at least two images that tell us something about you that you want us to know. Your Photo will be the main part superimposed over the entire image and all the other stuff will be around the edges. NO WORDS ARE ALLOWED in the entire picture. Numbers are allowed, but NOT DATES (e.g. 11/19/2001). While your photo is something of a disguise in which we try to guess who you are from the shape of your head, and whatever else we can pick up, the background images should be very clearly about you. Don't try to fool us with these. These are real clues about you.
You will then take the saved image of yourself and make its background transparent using methods we'll discuss in class. When you have created your final logo image combining your background and your face photo, please save it to your computer AND share it with me. |
