This is one of my favorite games of ALL TIME (that's a geology joke). Go to brainpop.com/games/landformdetectives/ and try to figure out how some of the most incredible places on Earth transformed from boring lumps of rock to magnificent landmarks. |

Students in the past have often thought of Caritas as a life changing experience. We're going to capture some of that experience by interviewing each other about Caritas. Part 1Think about what you did and learned at Caritas. What are some questions you would like to ask your classmates about their experience? Here is a list of sample questions the class came up with together: - What is one thing you learned about yourself?
- What’s something you learned about nature that everyone should know?
- What is one thing you learned about your class?
- What was your favorite meal?
- What was one way you pushed yourself?
- What thing you would share with your family?
- Where did you see God last week? In what way?
- How did you connect with SONG?
- What was your most meaningful experience?
- What was the most challenging club to join?
ActivityWrite up your own list of questions to ask a classmate. You can include as many of the questions above as you like, but add at least 3 of your own. - Write down your answers to your own questions, as a way to prepare for your interview.
Part 2- Write down the iPad # your team is using.
- Partner 1 films Partner 2 asking the questions. Film it all as one clip, leaving 3-5 seconds between each question.
- Partner 2 films Partner 1 answering the questions. Partner 2 should start filming, ask the question, and film Partner 1's response. Be sure to leave 3-5 seconds between each question.
- Repeat steps 2-3 the other way around (Partner 2 films Partner 1, etc.)
Part 2.5Follow the instructions below to import video from your iPad: - Log in to the iMovie account
- Import ONLY the clips of YOU ASKING questions and YOUR PARTNER ANSWERING questions
- manual --> uncheck all --> select clips --> import checked
Part 3Follow the instructions below to edit your interview: - Log in to the iMovie account
- Create a new project titled <Your Number> Caritas Interview
- Drag and drop video clips of you asking questions and your partner answering questions. These should alternate.
- Add a title and music as an intro and outro.
- Add a "lower third" to identify the interviewer and interviewee: "Person's Name - Student"
- When finished, Share --> Export Movie (size large)

"Crowd sourcing" is one of the most interesting and useful ideas to come out of Web 2.0 ideology. Wikipedia.org is the most popular example of this idea. On Wikipedia, thousands of people contribute to an ever growing encyclopedia of information. People who are experts in a field can offer their own knowledge and insights to improve the encyclopedia or update it to reflect recent changes. It turns out that everyone at school has expert knowledge of a page that needs updating: Christ the King School in Pleasant Hill, CA!Wiki MarkupWikipedia uses its own code to mark up text. Mark up is how Wikipedia and the web browser know, for example, that some text should be bold, and some text should be a link. Here are two guides to Wikipedia markup:
Follow these guides to mark up your writing for posting to Wikipedia. |

To extend the Birthday Geography project, let's make a picture of ourselves at our party! To complete this assignment, we'll be using Photo Booth and Photoshop Elements 10. Steps- Find a background picture of the location of your birthday party. Make sure it is a large sized image.
- Open Photo Booth and take a picture of yourself that you will place on top of the background.
- Open both in Photoshop Elements.
- Use the Quick Select tool to select yourself. Leave out your chair, the background, and anything else around you.
- Copy yourself!
- Go to the background picture and paste yourself in.
- Adjust the size of either your picture or the background, using what you learned about layers and Command-T (transform).
- When you're done, go to File --> Save for Web. Save the file using the preset JPEG High. Now it can be viewed by any computer or web browser!
