 * RCIA Cards **


 * Today each student will create a card for an RCIA candidate. There are 8 candidates, so each candidate should receive three cards from the class. **


 * Use the program of your choice - Publisher, Power Point, Word, etc. - but make sure to include the following in your card: **
 * 1) ** A greeting and short note to the candidate - include something recognizing their great commitment and the amount of work they have put into getting to this point - RCIA is not an easy program to complete! **
 * 2) ** Your name and "on behalf of the SDS Class of 2012) **
 * 3) ** An image of some kind, appropriate to the topic (please don't copy mine exactly!) **
 * 4) ** Make sure to spell check, use proper grammar, punctuation, etc..... **


 * See this example: **

//**Dear Gael -**//

//**I am so happy for you that you are on the verge of completing the RCIA program - it is definitely a huge undertaking!**// //**I hope you are feeling proud of all of the hard work you have done. Congratulations and I hope you enjoy and celebrate your success!**//

**//Mrs. Boone//** **//on behalf of the St. Dominic School Class of 2012//**


 * Once you are done with your card, print it and turn it in to the folder in the back. Then.... **


 * 1) Login to your www.InfOhio.org account and add Excel 2007 Course 1 to your account.
 * 2) Complete sections 1.0 and 4.0.
 * 3) Complete this exit pass to let me know you're done: Exit Pass (worth 10 points!)

**If you don't remember how - which wouldn't be a surprise as it's been awhile... check out this helpful screencast (but turn OFF the audio - there's a bit of bad feed for a few seconds!). InfOhio**

= Topic =
 * Spring Break Shopping and Excel

= Activity =

This week we will be going shopping! Each student will "get" $2,000 to spend on a vacation of their choice. They will choose the location, transportation, lodging, food, and activities. They will then summarize their trip expenses in spreadsheet form using Excel, and create a postcard in Autocollage. Both are due by the end of class on Thursday.

Expense Spreadsheet Requirements:


 * 1) Download the [[file:Spring Break Spreadsheet.xlsx]].
 * 2) Login to the network - make sure whoever was on last is logged out!
 * 3) Save the spreadsheet to your network folder.
 * 4) Replace the *** in the title with your name.
 * 5) Center the title across all columns of data.
 * 6) Your columns should have the same titles as the template.
 * 7) Include all of your expenses (cite your source by inserting the hyperlink with the name of the expense)
 * 8) Format the spreadsheet to make it visually attractive.
 * 9) When done, save as both a spreadsheet AND a pdf.

Autocollage Requirements:


 * 1) Create a 4x6 postcard (just the front) of your vacation destination
 * 2) Save it as a pdf.

When both are done, print them and give them to Mrs. Boone
