How to Make Your Parts of

Other Helpful Hints

If you work on the project at home, be sure to select fonts
that you know are also available at school.
Remember that you need to use at least six electronic
images in your book.
Consider drawing some of your own images after you’ve
reached seven electronic images.
Tables do not free rotate in PowerPoint. Clip art and images
do, though. Plan accordingly.
Use the free rotate button to rotate text boxes and
clip art. Photos from the Internet need to be rotated
180 degrees in Photoshop.
Remember that you need to use and underline at least four
nouns on the nouns page, four adjectives on the adjectives
page, and four adverbs on the …

The parts of speech you need to make pages for are
as follows:
Audrey finds the perfect spot for napping.
Bouncing, Pouncing, Licking, Lapping,
(6) Begin researching nouns. Use any notes you’ve
taken in class and the grammar and usage section
of the Writing Help page on Mr. Stratton’s
Classroom Online. There are tons of web sites there
for parts of speech research.
(7) Avoid designing your cover, title and back page
first. These pages will be worth fewer points, so
save them for last.
(8) Once you’ve researched nouns, write your
“nouns” text and add whatever images / pictures
you are going to use for “nouns.” Remember that
you need to use at least 7 images / pictures total in
this book, and that you need to give credit on the
back page for images taken from web sites.

(9) Select images you have to reduce in size over
images you need to enlarge. Enlarging images
makes them pixilated. Reducing an image keeps
the dots per inch consistent, maintaining photo
quality.
(10) To reduce the size of an Internet photo in
PowerPoint, select the image, place your cursor
over a corner of the image, hold the shift key, and
drag the cursor toward the opposite corner. This
will reduce both the image’s height and width
proportionally. See page 7 for a diagram of this.
(11) You can also use the crop function to make
the image fit as well as it possibly can between the
guidelines of your pages. The crop button will
appear under “Tools” of the formatting palette
when you click on the photo you are working with.
