PERSONAL BROCHURE
Microsoft Publisher

Top Ten Points to Consider:

1)  Partial planning day

2)  All six panels must be completed; *I suggest folding a piece of paper into thirds and numbering it before working on this project...Panel 3 will be the front cover, "2" is the back panel...see my example!

3)  Two and one-half class periods to complete (subject to change)

4)  Worth 25 TEST points--will print in FULL COLOR! (2025--may print in B&W if don't want a color copy)

5)  A minimum of four pictures are required with further requirements being:
    a) current picture of self only on cover (must be taken with my $2,200 camera before April 16, 2025--no exceptions)

       b) at least one picture must be from Google images

       c) maximum of three pictures from my $2,200 digital camera (one is for the cover)

       d) one picture with at least one other friend (cannot use the same picture as someone else) NO LONGER MANDATORY IN 2025!!

       e) maximum of ten scanned pictures ****Note to person on the computer with the scanner: you might want to find a different computer because you might be asked to move more often than you'd like.

6)  Four different headings are required; headings must be created with WordArt or Supalogo.com; possible headings include "Bucket List," “My Hero,” “My Role Model,” “My Early Years,” My Future,” “My Favorites,” “About Me,” “Me in a Nutshell,” “Just the Facts,” “The Basics,” “Special Someone,” “Activities,” "Sports," “My Family,” “Favorite Hobby,” "Favorite Memory," "Favorite (or Best) Day of my Life," "Most Awesome Vacation," "My Friends," etc.
***If WordArt bores you, use www.supalogo.com for some cool options! And, we now know how to copy and paste the word(s). Thanks, JK!

7)  Information under one heading cannot wrap to a second panel (points will be deducted if this happens); remember, at least two panels must be in paragraph form. Looking for a great grade?  I expect LOTS of typing! (Note: one panel is totally up to you--use your creativity to come up with something)

8)  Font size can be from 9- to 14-point!

9)  This is all that is needed and allowed on your front panel:  current picture, first and last name, and one quote (must either write your own quote or give credit to another person who said or wrote the quote).

10)  You may use a background color (or fill effect), but remember, sometimes having a white background looks better/"cleaner."

Graded on:
1)  Spelling/Grammar/Punctuation/Etc. (5 Points)

2)  Pictures (3 Points)

3)  Effort (8 Points)   …your panels should be full of info…

4)  Overall layout; ease to read, interesting, spacing, etc. (9 Points)

*****This project is worth a total of 25 points and will have a fairly large impact on your grade.  Use your time wisely.  That begins with a good plan, limiting your words, and jumping to a different computer when yours is slow or freezes.

Take pride in your work.  If you do, it will show and lead to an outstanding brochure and large point total!

April 8, 2019:  This worked great: on April 1-4 I had a journal entry each day that would eventually become a part of the brochure--filled up 4 of the panels and it was each student's choice for the fifth panel (not including the cover).  I should remind you to type all of your information on your brochure first.  If you start working with pictures and font and color schemes and all of that junk, it will slow you up.  Be mature, get your stuff typed, and then have fun.  I'll be back on Wednesday and I'll show you where your pictures are (if I took them on outside on Friday).  Work hard for your substitute but, more importantly, for YOURSELF! Bye...and thanks for being a great class for me this year!!
