Final Project Sketch 3 ideas for each banner in your journal. (10-15 minutes) Share sketches and give feedback with a partner. Pick your final 3 sketches. Add color to the final choices. Show your final 3 sketches to me for approval. Start working in Expression Design using the same tools as in the tutorial. After each banner is completed, save banner file in your folder. Student Activity

Peer Walk Open your children banner. Put your name on the top of a piece of lined paper. Place the paper in front of your computer station. When it’s time, stop at the next computer and write a comment about your peer’s banner. You will continue to rotate when I give the signal. NO PUT-DOWNS. Be specific with feedback: “I really like the color choice because primary colors represent children” (instead of “I really like your colors”). Student Activity

If time permits: Scan your logo, banner, and navigation tool (created in previous sections) and save into your Image folder. Insert your images, add text, and color in Expression Design to create the look of your very own Web page! Extra Activity
