YOUR NEW COMPANY: (WHAT IMAGE DOES IT HAVE ON THE STREET?)
Made With YouiDraw.com
You are about to create a logo for your new company. This logo, in one way or another, must appear on all documents, videos, websites, and any other media that you create for this class until the end of the Semester. Both the video logo you made previously, and the one you design today, should have a similar message and features/style. Think about why your company needs a logo. What emotions should your design evoke in people who see it? What types of messages will be attached to this logo, and how can you turn this into a brand? Once you answer these questions, you are ready to design! THINK about yourself as the owner/executive producer of a design studio. You will eventually create a website, videos, and other media associated with this production studio. What kind of studio do you want to create? What types of entertainment/news/sports media are you interested in creating? What social issues might your studio stand for? How can you be creative with the symbol of your studio so people will recognize it, and want to see your movies, websites, or articles? Take the answers to these questions, and create a logo for your new production studio! Having trouble imagining a name for your new company?

Create a LOGO using photos, drawing, or any other medium. Watch the video about why a LOGO is important "Why is a Professional Logo Important?" (Click Here).

STUDENTS WILL ENTER THE CLASS QUIETLY AND BEGIN WORKING!
Students will work individually on the assigned projects. Students must complete a hand-drawn version of the project prior to starting on their computer.
Think about the last time you needed to do research online, or at the library. Please write 2-3 Sentences on the Journal Page of your Google Sites Student Portfolio about the following question(s):
What topic did you pick? Why did you choose that topic? How many resources did you need to use? What strategies did you use to find information (what search terms or keywords helped you find information)? What format was your paper/project, and did you create a Bibliography?
Make sure you use the R.A.C.E.S format to answer the questions above in your Journal. R- Repeat the Question, A- Answer the Questions, C - Cite Evidence/Examples, E - Explain Evidence/Examples, S - Summarize your post.
WHY DO WE DO RESEARCH?
Five Main Reasons According To The Presentation
1. CREDIBILITY: Researching your topic and citing your sources helps lend credibility to your paper. It demonstrates that you sought out similar information from experts in the field, which makes what you're writing more believable.
2. PUBLICATION: Because research backs up your ideas with facts from established experts in the field, it's an industry standard. If you hope to publish in a scholarly journal, you'll have to conduct thorough research and cite it correctly to be taken seriously, and cite it correctly to be taken seriously
3. EDUCATION: Research gives you a broader understanding of your topic so you can speak with a more authoritative, informed voice. It allows you to understand both sides of an argument and any additional factors that contribute to your thesis statement.
4. RESEARCH SKILLS: Many instructors assign research papers so students can develop or strengthen their research skills. In that respect, research is important because it makes you better and finding information and backing up your ideas with facts.
5. PLAGIARISM: You may think you have a groundbreaking idea only to discover that a famous scientist already had this idea and wrote on it extensively. Taking credit for this idea, even though you thought it was original can still constitute academic dishonesty. Research helps you use that scientist's work to build on and add credibility to your idea.

REFLECTION: Open a GMAIL to Mr. Scribner and write 2-3 Sentences about why you should create a digital portfolio. What does creating a digital portfolio have to do with overall student achievement? Resumes used to be the only tool you had to showcase your academic and professional achievements when you were looking for a new job. Today you have so many more options, one of which is to create a Digital Portfolio. This visual representation of your history and greatest achievements provides employers with proof of what you can do and helps them see why they should consider hiring you. It also sets you apart from all the other candidates who simply send in a resume and cover letter.
A DIGITAL PORTFOLIO IS AN ONLINE COLLECTION OF YOUR VERY BEST WORK, THAT VISUALLY PROVES WHAT YOU CAN DO!
"If you’re in the process of developing a digital portfolio, you can’t afford to view it as a mere collection of work samples; you need to think of it as your preeminent marketing piece."

1. They Value Other People's Time: They value their own time so they also value the time of other people. They know you have plenty of other places you need to be and won’t hold you up. If you spend time with them, it is likely they will thank you for that as well.
2. They Give Credit Where It Is Due:They do not take credit for things they did not do. They will always credit those who deserve it. If you help this person with a project he or she will likely mention your name so you can take credit for your work.
3. They Are Authentic:They are their truest forms. You won’t catch them in a lie or being fake.
4. They Are Always Honest:They are honest people that feel no need to lie as it is important for them to get to where they need to get in life honestly.
5. They Never Take Advantage Of Others:They are not the kind of people who will take advantage of someone else. They love to build people up and help them get where they need to be. Taking too much from someone else will never be an issue with someone who has a lot of integrity.
6. The Do Not Argue Over Disagreements:They will talk through things in a civil manner or not talk at all. You cannot and will not force this person into arguing over something completely ridiculous. I find this to be a very respectable trait.
7. They Give Most People The Benefit Of The Doubt:They try to see the good in everyone. I think this is because they feel like maybe there are more people in this world that also have integrity. That being said, if you take advantage of them too much they will get rid of you.
8. They Know When Something Is Bothering Someone:They have a great intuition that lets them know when something is going on. If someone is down in the dumps they will notice. Chances are they will actually do what they can to cheer you up.
9. They Believe In Others:They accept your word as truth until it is dis-proven. That being said, they do not take lying well. And once you lie to them, it is unlikely that they will ever take your word again.
10. They Apologize First:If they have done something wrong they will come to you and apologize. This is just how they are. They own up to their mistake and try to make things right.
11. They Are Humble:They do not quite know their own worth. While they are very important and do so much good they don’t quite see it. You should remind them of it.
12. They Do Good When They Can:They are always helping other people. They love to know that they have improved someone’s life. It gives their lives meaning.
13. They Are Always Kind To Those Who Need It:Giving kindness can go a long way. When someone looks like they need a little pick me up these people deliver. They can brighten up almost anyone’s day.
If you are someone who has true integrity, thank you for being who you are and thank you for all that you do. You really do actually make a difference in society, please keep up the good work. If you feel no one else is proud of you, know that I am.
