quintus mensis October: First day in Mrs. Merrill's lab working on the Adobe PhotoShop mini-poster (with Word explanation of styles and bibliography).  You need to create an Adobe “mini-poster” (8.5 by 11 multi layers with text 72 resolution).  It needs to contain:

1. The four styles of wall/fresco painting in Pompeii (I am giving you three sites to start, but you are allowed to use others... http://www.accd.edu/sac/vat/arthistory/arts1303/Rome4.htm, http://www.ehow.com/about_5108585_roman-wall-painting.html, and http://www.metmuseum.org/toah/hd/ropt/hd_ropt.htm ),

2. An example of sculpture,

3. An example of architecture,

4. An example of a mosaic,

5. An example of artwork (other painting styles, roof tiles, etc. not already covered),

6.  All sources must be properly cited.  This can be done during the note taking period by copy/pasting the address and other information along with your notes.  For the bibliography, you can use "NoodleBib" at http://www.noodletools.com/ which some of you might have used already.  Look in the middle of the page for "NoodleBib MLA Starter."  You will have to create an account, but after that there is a bibliography wizard which can guide you through the process so you don't have to use "And I quote..." (although there are copies available in the lab).  You can also use the site "EasyBib" without creating an account.  It also has a "digital image" template for your pictures. 

You also need to give me a Word document explaining the difference between the four styles of Pompeian painting styles and why you chose your four other examples of Roman artwork.  The bibliography page can be pasted under your explanations of the Roman painting styles to save space (paper).  All files are to be saved in your “P” drive Latin folder first and on the “L” drive in the 7^th grade Yost folder under your name only when completed on the last day of the lab visit.  Homework: review for Friday's test.

secundus mensis October: correct the homework.  Finish workbook sections II.V and II.VIII.  Discuss next week's project in Mrs. Merrill's lab.  Homework: none.
