  3. If I am thinking correctly I think we did a book review and an author study last year on Richard Peck! So this should be fun and simple! :)

  9. You would need to use Microsoft powerpoint or photostory to do it on the computer. Yes, you can also do it the old-fashioned way by using a poster. Just print out pictures, write about her, and decorate the poster. You still have a week, so if you don't want to make a poster, you can hopefully learn how to use powerpoint.

  11. You will need to use a computer at home, or either in the media center before school each morning. Just save the powerooint onto your flashdrive, and yes, you can use the smartboard.
    Since this is extra credit, I won't be using any class time to get this done.
