Website Design
Technology has become more and more influential and important in the world. Students will have the opportunity to create a website using www.weebly.com. Students will pick a theme (sports, animals, video games...) and learn how to build a website. Students will need to have pictures, text, videos and it must be aesthetically pleasing.
Zine creation
We will be creating a Zine every month. A Zine is a small circulation self-published work of original or appropriated texts and images usually reproduced by a photocopier. We will be focusing on what is happening at D'Arcy McGee. We will publish the Zine once a month for the entire school to read. This is a great project to build school spirit and uses literacy, writing and media techniques.
