5) Each group should bring their camera to me and I will take a picture of the entire group.
6) The remaining two students will be responsible for attaching the camera to the computer and opening the pictures.
7) I would like to see how the pictures look before they have been printed.
8) With my consent, print all five pictures.
Outside of Class
· Each group will paste the printed pictures, along with the pictures you brought to class, copy and paste them to a PowerPoint presentation.
· Before continuing, I would like to meet with each group to discuss whether or not the projects will be done using Powerpoint or a scrapbook, and to find out if everyone understands the task as well as the process.
· The images that you brought to class ( the one’s you printed on the internet) should be placed beside the picture you took in class.

· The final product is due on November 7, 2007.
· On this day each student will come to class with the model of their greenhouse and will be expected to present their project to the class.
