REAL-LIFE GRAPHS MINI-PROJECT

Hello visionaries!!! Check out the cool new look for our blog (in honor of V-day)!

Today in the lab you will be drawing a real-life graph in Microsoft Word or Paint. It can be the graph you sketched in class yesterday, or a brand new one you create. Just remember: time cannot go backwards, so make sure your graph is logical.

To create your graph in Word, right click anywhere in the blank space below the blue bar, and make sure the Drawing menu has a check next to it. Then, all the tools you will need to draw your graph will appear at the bottom of Word. EACH partner should draw their OWN graph.

For your graph, make sure you provide the following:
*y-axis title
*x-axis title
NO GENERAL TITLE...your partner will provide that.

Once your graph is drawn and you have saved your work, switch documents with a partner. It is up to the partner to create a story that describes their partner's graph accurately. The story should be typed BELOW the graph. Higher grades will be given to stories that are very creative and that match the given graph.

Once you are finished, print out your graph and story with your name and your partner's name at the top, and submit it to Mrs. Collins. Then, you need to work on posting your work on the blog. You will have two days in lab to complete the project.
