October 15, 2008 -- TABLE ASSIGNMENT #2 (Presidents)

Boy, this will look familiar. BUT repetition is key to learning! This is for you to do and it WILL become part of your grade.

OBJECT: At your computer compose a document showing the US Presidents of the 20th century, using the list below. Most (not all) of the information is on the list and most portraits are on the disk you were given, but you will have to supply the rest of the information and pictures. Use black & white through Johnson; starting with Nixon use color.

The web page is to consist of a title followed by a table containing each President's portrait, followed by FULL name, years in office, and political party. Each cell should look uniform—that is, they look the same. Center everything, use correct spelling, capitalization, etc. You do NOT need to lay your table out exactly the same as this sample, but you may. If you wish, you may use a dignified, light background image for your page and save it on your computer. (It can be a simple texture background or perhaps something patriotic.) Get as much done as you can. If you know how to add hyperlinks, you can make “Elmira Christian Academy” a hyperlink to the school website.

Start by making a subfolder called "20th_cen_presidents" and copying all these pictures into it. When you insert the Presidents' pictures, take them from this folder. You will have to add a few Presidetnail pictures of your own - first into that folder, then FROM THE FOLDER insert them into your table. Make all pictures the same size (as best you can), without distorting them!! NO skewing of pictures - anchor all as character, etc. Use what you learned!

Score is based on how much you can do in the allotted time (coupla days), by creativity, accuracy, and having a professional-looking result. Don't be afraid to ask me questions. Best wishes!
