Monday June 15: today and tomorrow and the exam day

Greetings once again!

Today, we will be doing several things. Tonight, hopefully, you will be doing one. Here we go!

A) Today I will hand back your corrected "e pluribus unum" quiz collections, graded and recorded. THIS IS NOT THE SUM TOTAL OF YOUR EXAM GRADE!!! You've all done a lot of other stuff, and we have a few more things to get finished between today and tomorrow

B) Last week when we were up in room A323, I had you do this:
" you will be setting up and sending me by EMAIL a "rough draft" of the topic you picked the last time we were in the lab. That was covered under point "E" in this posting http://theskunkwerx.blogspot.com/2009/06/june-3rd-end-game-part-two.htmlYour "rough draft" must include at least the following:a relevant picture to do with the topic of your choosingat least two relevant facts about this topic that you got from EACH of the five websites you were asked to gather when we were last in lab A323At least one complete paragraph of three complete sentences explaining why you chose this topic, why you think it was important for the development of computers, and any uses you yourself have ever made of it --in other words, how its affected YOU"

Tonight, you may want to work on that "rough draft" in preparation for tomorrow, when we will be upstairs one last time in A323. That's because tomorrow I will be having you completing the following:

C) submit your topic as a group discussion posting. The posting should be labeled with the specific name of your topic plus your full name. It should be composed of at least four distinct paragraphs. The first paragraph will be the paragraph you (theoretically) emailed to me last week, explaining why you chose the topic, etc etc (see above, in blue)

The other paragraphs will be a compilation of the complete sentences you composed to tell me about the facts you discovered for each website source you discovered for the purposes of this topic (see above in green)

You might also want to get that image I had mentioned (see above in red)

In other words, tomorrow you'll be putting it all together. Then we go home

D) Also, while we're up there, ANYONE who did NOT upload the files they created here in C206 OR did not send me a link to wher those files are stored, you have to get that done. I need these links in my email

E) Anything else you've got to get finished up down here in C206 today, get 'er done!

Cheers,
Mr. L
