Google Drive / HERO PROJECT / Draw IO Introduction (MP4)

Today you will use the following link to review all of the useful tools on Google Drive.  Your Google Drive is a place to store files, create documents, spreadsheets, and presentation, and many other types of projects.  Please click Google Drive to see a video, and an extensive list of features about this tool you will be using in class for the rest of the marking period.

Second,  you need to visit the following link:  Hero Project  This is an independent project you will be working on during the marking period.  You need to review the information at the website and make a plan to interview a local veteran of the armed forces.  Make sure you have your parent's permission before the interview.  You need to find out why they served, what they did (what was their job), and what their service means to them.  READ ALL DIRECTIONS prior to beginning this project.  Make sure you add a paragraph about what the interview meant to you.

Finally, today you will design graphic organizers on DRAW.IO. Please create a Personal Timeline and Family Tree in a digital format. You must create these from scratch using DRAW.IO.

YOU MUST CREATE A HAND-DRAWN VERSION BEFORE WORKING ON A DIGITAL VERSION ONLINE!
To start, use a blank piece of paper to list your birthday, list all the schools you have attended, list any significant events in your life (birthdays, deaths, weddings, graduations, holidays, family trips, honors, awards, or any other events you can remember) and the dates they happened. Sign In to Google. Open DRAW.IO and CONNECT it to your Google Drive. Open a New Blank Document. Begin to drag boxes into the timeline and label them in order. Once you have created your first box with a date underneath, you can now select the box, copy and paste a new one next to it, and link them with an arrow. Continue until you have listed all the events up to today's date. You need to list 15 events to complete the project.



To create your  Family Tree, make a complete list of all of your parents, step-parents, aunts and uncles, brothers and sisters, grandparents, and any other family members you can think of.  Now begin dragging in boxes and labeling them with each person's name and date of birth (if you know it).  Now list weddings in text between married couples.  Make sure to line up each place-marker with others in the same generation.  Make sure you include extended family (Aunts, Uncles, Brothers, Sisters, Etc.)  I would like you to do your best to include at least 3 levels of your family tree.  These should include siblings, parents, aunts & uncles, grandparents, and anyone else you might know.  Once you have your Timeline and Family Tree on one document, Go To FILE and EXPORT and save it to the desktop as an IMAGE (PNG) File.  Upload the PNG File to DROPBOX Link below for credit.  

See the sample above for some more clarity.  Good Luck!
