INDEPENDENT STUDY: CTE WEEK PROPAGANDA/PART 2
The main point of CTE Week is to create awareness of technical careers and our Career and Technical Student Organizations (eg FCCLA/HERO, Skills USA, FFA and HOSA.)
Part of this shameless promotion is selling sweet, delicious candy. So we need to make signs that promote the sweet, delicious candy. Each day the sales will benefit a different Career and Technical Student Organization.
On Friday, all STEP students will attend a Career Exploration Session at Anoka Technical College. Here you will learn about possible majors at ATC and possibly receive more sweet, delicious candy and pencils.
Here is the list:
Monday 2/9: Overview of Career and Technical Student Organizations (FCCLA/HERO, HOSA, FFA, SKILLS USA)
Tuesday, 2/10: FCCLA/HERO Day
Wednesday, 2/11: HOSA (Health Occupations Students of America)Day
Thursday, 2/12: FFA(Future Farmers of America) Day
Friday, 2/13: Career Exploration Session at Anoka Technical College and Skills USA day.
Everybody must make a flier. These will be hung in the stairwells and whatnot. Ms. Moore will pick one to be made into a banner that will hang in the first floor commons. This assignment is due by 1:00 PM Thursday February 5.

CHAPTER 4 PHOTOSHOP LESSONS
The tutorials in Chapter 4 don't tell me a lot if you just show me the final one.
I have split your tasks into eight computer files. (Four files for Lesson 4-1 and four files for Lesson 4-2) You will save paper by printing each group of lessons on one sheet via the File>Automate>Contact Sheet II command. To do this, you must save each group of lessons in a separate file folder.
Here is the page number list of the lessons:
Lesson 4-1
Part A: 4-7 through 4-15
Part B: 4-16 through 4-19
Part C: 4-29
Part D: 4-30 through 4-31
Lesson 4-2
Part A: 4-22 through 4-23
Part B: 4-24 through 4-28
Part C: Use the Image>Adjustments>Match Color command to change the background green, just like on the rooster eye in Lesson 4-1, Part D.
Part D: Use the Image>Adjustments>Match Color command in a different way here. Create a layer that is half red, half green in your finished 4-2, Part C document. Go to the Match Color command. Your SOURCE is your Part C document. Make sure you have the red & green layer listed in your LAYER menu underneath the SOURCE menu. Crank the sliders til you have adjusted the color levels to your liking. Feel free to experiment with other color combos besides red/green here. Be sure to save this as PART D when you are finished.

INDEPENDENT STUDY: ADVOCACY DAY POSTERS
Task:
Create posters they can use for Advocacy Day at the State Capitol.
What is Advocacy Day?:
The Student Senate is going to the Capitol to represent those who pay tuition at a MNSCU school and/or the University of Minnesota The current legislative session has big plans for cutting k-16 funding. The ATC Student Senate is particularly interested in maintaining funds for the 13-16 portion. If the legislature cuts 13-16 funding, it results in tuition hikes, which is resulting in a disproportionate debt to earnings ratio for graduates.
What You're Gonna Do:
Create a slogan and illustration for a poster design.
When's it Due?:
You should have a mock-up printed by the end of the day on Friday, February 6. ATC Student Senators are coming back on Monday February 9.
