Hour 5 Practice Test

Hour 5 Practice Test

Extra Credit Tutorials - YouTube

Part 1:  YouTube is a fun site where you can find tutorials for a variety of subjects.  With anything, you have to be careful and use common sense.  If you come across something that is inappropriate, don't watch it and don't share it with others.  Here's an example of a video I found interesting.  It's about 3 minutes long.  You'll need a pencil and piece of paper.  Check it out and try your hand at drawing.  When you're finished - write your thoughts about your experience on my blog.  Have fun.
Bring your drawing to school for proof you completed the assignment.  Be sure to write your name and hour on the drawing. 

This Extra Credit is due no later then Monday, November 28, 2011.  This part is worth 10 extra credit daily points. 

Part 2 of Extra Credit:  Find a tutorial you're interested in - school appropriate.  Blog about your experience - 5 test points or you can create a podcast about your experience and post the podcast on your blog  for 10 test points. 

Note:  YouTube is only visible at home, not school.  This extra credit work is home work.
