Today we will continue to review the basics of Excel...
 * __Thursday__**

First, we will review the terms, then we will review how to merge and adjust cells.

We will finish creating a basic word search by including all of the words, using the "merge across cells" feature to allow the word list to stay as it is while allowing for letter placement to stay perfect!

Completing the word search will be followed up by time to work on Medeival research.

= = = = = =** BONUS TECH CLASS DAY **=


 * FOR THOSE WHO ARE CAUGHT UP.... THIS IS EMMA AND JACK **


 * Today you will have the chance to do any work you owe me from any point in the grading period. It will be a quiet study class where those who are already caught up will get to have a "choice" day, involving any of the following: **

**ANY of the web resource activities on the BooneLearningServices.com website** **Work for another class** // **The period will be for independent, quiet, work.** // // **Anyone who chooses not to use the class for that purpose will receive a "bonus" assignment to complete.** // // **Anyone choosing to be on a game or activity not on the above list will also receive a "bonus" assignment to complete.** //

**FOR THOSE WHO ARE NOT CAUGHT UP....**

**Those who are not caught up will need to work on what they owe. This is not a time for you to ask me "what do I owe?" Go to RenWeb, find out what's missing, and complete it. If you owe me any work, you do not have the opportunity to join in the choice time, even if your work is done.**

**ADDITIONALLY.... If you have emailed me work that you completed over the weekend, I have not yet had time to check.... you would still, even if all of your work is caught up, fall into the "not caught up" category. Work that is turned in on time is graded on time. Work that comes in late gets graded when I have a chance, and I have not yet had the chance.**

**If you finish everything you owe me, you may do the following:**

**Read a book.** **Go to the following sites:**

**Khan Academy** **Quizlet**
