Creating My Publication
Use the information you gathered in the previous activity to help you create a publication that explains how and why projects are used in your classroom.
Step 1: Starting My Publication
- If you are going to use a storyboard to type your initial ideas, open the document from Resources | Project Learning | Storyboards on the CD.
- Save the document into your temp folder of your Portfolio folder, and then open the template from your Portfolio folder. (See Essentials Course Skill 1.5. in the Help Guide)
- Set up the publication document for the appropriate publication style. Pick one of these options:
- Open a template for the desired publication (newsletter, newspaper, brochure, or poster) from within the word processing application. (See Word Processing Skill 10.3.)
- Save a template from Resources | Project Learning | Templates on the CD. If the templates from the CD do not meet your needs, you can download a
template from the Web. (See Word Processing Skill 10.5.)
- Create a new publication from scratch. Set up the page design, create text boxes to lay out the text areas for the desired publication (newsletter, newspaper, brochure, or poster), and resize them. (See Word Processing Skills 6.4, 6.9, and 6.10.)
 Save your publication frequently in the facilitation folder of your Portfolio folder.
