Timesheets will be turned in using Edmodo. They are always due by 2:00 pm on Friday. Simple and brief. For today, for example, "worked on layouts". If you miss this deadline, your grade will be 0 for timesheets and 70 for individual and group. That's 47 for the week. No makeups. If Edmodo does not work, give me the paper timesheet at the end of the last class of the week.





earlier this week
Where are your folders? Get them and understand where to put them so I can always find them.

Confidentiality. 

Edmodo turn ins...what were the problems?


Discuss page turn in sheets. Do them correctly. The date is the due date. 

Deadlines and your grade.


Pages due. What are the problems? Who needs help?
If you have candid pages, be sure you know what kind of candid.
Ask now. If you think you cannot meet a deadline, get help today. The page is your responsibility. 

Use the revised candid templates in Edmodo. Delete the others.  

If you need photos. I have lots of photos on my computer. Pages due in November have priority. Write what you need on your page turn in sheet and give it to me or the Photo Editor, who is Marijana.

If you have a page due in December and you can turn it in now, do that. 

You can work on pages after school.

When resizing photos, press the Shift key, hold and drag from a corner

LAW 2.

This should be already be done:
Make a page folder for every page you are assigned. 

Create the InDesign page from an InDesign  template and place it in the folder. If there is no template created for your page, let Daiana, Latazia, Chloe, Caroline or Marisa know. If you do not know which candid template to use, let them know. All pages wind up as InDesign pages.

Type the page numbers on each of the InDesign pages. Even page numbers on the left. Odd page numbers on the right. Delete the page number text boxes you do not use. 

If you have photos for these pages, put them in the folder. Only put in the photos that you are going to use for this page. A Photoshop layout, such as a candid page done in Photoshop, is actually the same thing as one photo. It is saved as a jpeg and placed in the InDesign template as if it were one large photo.

If you are working on 9-11 grade underclass individual photo pages:

a. Divide the pages however you want. Just be sure the person or people responsible for the page is written on the turn in sheet. 
b. Type names alphabetically using Text Edit. You should back this up on a flash drive and the 4 main computers.

Back up your pages and log out.
