How to make an entry in your blog

Most of the work you complete in class will be in a word, power point or excel document. This blog does not accept attachment with the standard file ending (e.g. .doc .ppt). Therefore anything you want to upload must be in the form of an image.

This can be achieved by copying and pasting your document into a new 'paint' document.

• Simply highlight what you want to add.
• Hit Control C at the same time
• Open a new paint document
• Hit Control V at the same time
• Save the document under a file you can easily find.
• Then open a "New Post"
• Click on the "Add Image" icon
• Click on "Browse"
• Find the paint file you saved and select it
• Then click on upload image
• Once you see your document in the post, click on "Publish Post"
• Then "View Blog" to view your masterpiece.

Happy Blogging!

The Apprentice - Budget

Greetings to all 'wanna be' apprentices!

I have included an example of what your Excel spreadsheet for your budget should look like. To get a larger version of the image, simply click on it!

Your proposal should be typed in a word document and your spreadsheet should be complete by the end of this week prior to your work placements next week (week 10). If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate and make a comment under my post.

Classwork - The Apprentice

You have been recruited by Mr. Donald Trump to spend $ 1 000 000 of his fortune!!!



Each (apprentice) student has been assigned a small portion of Mr. Donald Trumps fortune, to raise funds for your chosen charity.

Your task is to write a proposal, explaining how you are going to spend the money and how you aim to raise the funds for your cause. This proposal must be at least one and a half pages in length and must consist of:

1. An aim (Goal)
2. A procedure
3. A budget
4. An explanation of why you chose your cause and what it means to you.

Your procedure and budget must be well researched and all references must be recognised.

Classwork Update - Pro-Social Behaviour

As most of you are aware, this week we started the new topic of Pro-Social Behaviour. This was presented in the form of a PowerPoint presentation, here students were asked to record some of the notes from the presentation.

According to the definition, you have been required to create a comic strip, which demonstrates an act of Pro-Social Behaviour.

This is to be presented into your plastic portfolios as part of your assessment.

If you have missed out on this task due to an absence, please see me as soon as possible and I will assist you with your catch up.

Remember:

A Pro-Social act can be defined as any act of helping behaviour, towards a society, group or individual. Furthermore, theorists and psychologists believe that, the focus of a pro-social act, is not the behaviour (act) itself, but the intention.

Last of all, for the act to be considered to be altruistic, the intention of the individual must be to assist another society, group or individual without benefiting from the act themselves.

Please make sure that your comic strip is handed in, no later than Friday the 15th of May, 2009. If you are having difficulty meeting this deadline, you should take your poster home and have it handed in , by Monday the 18th of May, 2009.

Have a great weekend everyone.
