Math 11 - We one point perspective, isometric drawings, exploded view diagrams, and orthometric drawings and we've moved ahead to Ch. 6: slope this week.  Pitch is another word for slope but pitch is always expressed over 12.  Examples:  The slope of the ramp is 1/4.  The pitch of the roof is 4/12. 

Work that we completed this week:
  • Daily warm ups
  • p. 265 and 266
  • On the Job - 268-9
  • Your Turn and try it on p. 270-1
  • Section 2.1 Worksheet
  • p. 272-3 Problems
  • Slope Project (real life problems that we do mostly outside)

GAD 11 - This week our focus has been color in Graphic Design.  We had a few notes each day and 3 assignments to be done using Paint.net.  (These assignments are on handouts). 
Students should also be starting a portfolio of pictures (this assignment is in your email). 

IT 11 - There are so many wonderful features in Microsoft Word.  We are working on Ch. 4 of our textbook to learn about advanced chart features, footnoting, Section breaks and page numbering, Themes, Tables of Content and automatic updating, and Smart Graphic Organizers.

We wrote our test for the previous chapter.
