Your product should have:
§ a logo

The news material required communication skills with a number of participants, layout, design, input and printability with in a time sensitive environment. This newsletter was created with any templates and was a monthly work in progress. The Drawing tools available in Microsoft Word were used to create all the page enhancements. The crest on the front page was created from the school stationary and then enhanced using Adobe Photoshop Rationale: In the age of information technology, communication my meet the needs of a diverse audience. Only 60 % of households use the WWW and therefore, the printed forms of communication are still extremely important and therefore reflect another area of skill that a Technology Applications teacher must master.
Implications for future: Continued work and improvement in this area will ensure that the needs of the vast public will be meet in the area of communication. All students need to have a basic understanding of the principles and elements of design and a working knowledge of the most basic of the software programs for creating communication.
Reviewers Comments: What a neat newsletter! The colors make it easy to read and the graphics enhance the looks of the newsletter very much. This is a great tool to communicate with parents and the community. It takes a lot of time and effort. It looks like you put in a lot of extra hours for your school district. They should be very proud to have you. Great job! Review Name: Billie Schrank Date Reviewed: Review 6-26-03 Title: TATC Student

The product gives the parents the basic design and goals for the class, the grading policy and attendance policy and the First Nine Week Grading period outline of units and Projects. The brochure also give the parent the opportunity to respond to the class information in a format of a survey that can be detached and mailed back to the school. Rationale: I have selected this artifact to demonstrate the ability to communicate in a printable format and online to a vast and diverse audience. I have also selected this product to demonstrate the effective use of color, graphics, typography, layout, white space, em and alignment techniques and other important features in desktop publishing. This artifact is reusable because the file, saved as a tif serves as a template for future years. When using the brochure as a demonstration and a lesson, the Rubric here serves to give the students guide lines and self evaluation as well as teacher feedback and evaluation. This rubric was created using Rubristar.
Implications for future: Each year at FRHS we have a orientation night for the parents and students planning to enroll in the following year. Each department at FRHS sets up a booth to make face to face contact and distribute information to help promote our programs. We make many brochures to advertise our classes. Students also learn to make brochures in many of the business classes to promote the necessity to communicate. This type of teaching and learning is broad and applicable across a broad spectrum of applications.
Reviewers Comments: As usually your product is first rate. The cast shadow of the school image is a very nice graphic. I was wondering why you did not bold the week seven-nine like you did the others on that page. I did not have a chance to print this out but the purple on yellow background should print out fine. I was looking at two things on that panel and wondering about the leading for the sentence ...Using state of the art and what the caption describing picture or graphic was doing at the bottom. for the panel addressing success is 95% I would suggest moving the % to the start of each line for thought completion. I really like the questionnaire. What panel will that tear off when submitted or did you want them to email you the answers? This will be a great promotion publication.
