Subject Sampler Directions

 

1.       Open My Computer, Teachers on May, may_web, mayww, your grade level folder, your folder (if you have one).  Right click the mouse to make a pop-up window appear.  Select New, Folder.  Name the folder whatever you want to call your subject sampler.  Do NOT put any spaces into the name.  Close all windows.

2.     Follow this link to view a subject sampler template from Region 20: 

     http://www.esc20.net/etprojects/templates/tsampler.html

3.     To save this template, choose File, Save As.  Save the template into the new folder you just created.  Give it a name that does not have any spaces in it.

4.     Now, open Netscape Composer.  From the file menu, choose open.  Open the file you just saved into your folder. 

5.     Use the template as a guide to create your subject sampler.   

6.     You can add more activities for your students to complete, since the template only includes two.

7.     To improve the subject sampler, you may want the students to complete a summarizing activity at the end or write their own conclusion, rather than just stating a conclusion for them.

8.     Add background color, edit the font, or add graphics to improve the design of the subject sampler.  Remember that graphics need to be saved into the Web page folder before you insert them into the page. 

9.     Be sure to credit any sources, such as Region 20 or clipart sites, that you used to create your Web page.

10.  Save all of your changes.

11.   Open your teacher Web page or grade level page in Netscape Composer.  Create a link from that page to your subject sampler.

12.  Email your course instructor when your subject sampler is finished.
