Friday 13th April
Today we had a bit of a slow start to the day. The girls did not get up until 9am and nor did the dog!
Stephanie finished her Devon diary, although she clearly was not very enthusiastic over it. As she will need a GCSE in English to get into University, we need to find things that she is interested in and will write about.
Jacqueline happily finished her diary and illustrated it with lots of pictures from the brochures.
Stephanie did some of the Year 1 worksheets she had printed off and was both frustrated and surprised to find there were things in there that she did not really understand. I think it is just expressed in a new and different way.
Jacqueline did some of the Year 2 sheets and then came across things she was not sure of. Greg is going to help her over the weekend.
After lunch was business and website time. Jacqueline created some new pages and created the table to put the content into. She then went through the pages and put in notes about the content that is going into each page.
Next steps are to create the written content, manipulate and insert the images and then get things such as an autoresponder and shopping cart set up for her.
Stephanie got out the pad and pens and started planning her site. I asked her the same questions based on:
Why- are you doing this? Goals?
What is it? What does the project consist of?
What is on the site? What is free and what is chargeable?
When will it be ready by?
Who is it aimed at?
Where will you be selling your products?
How will you reach those people?
Literary aside here- with thanks to Rudyard Kipling for the 6 honest serving men.
Stephanie got on well with this. She is also pleased that her friend from school is prepared to act as a guinea pig for the project.
Stephanie then started to think about topics they had covered in Year 8.
We made good progress with this and both girls seemed to really enjoy the activities today. We have got quite a list of things we need from Greg over the weekend in terms of image manipulation and Maths.
All in all a good first week.
