1. Today we have these learning goals  (all objectives to date)

• Practice important Science terms using a matching game in StudyStacks. Try to beat my time!
• Create a new Google Sheet and add lists of important people, places and things in your life
• Add a Circle Map image to the background of a Google Slide

• Add images and labels which represent the items in your lists to your Circle Map

2. Create a new Spreadsheet titled ‘About Me’ in your 103 Drive Folder which we will use to make 2 lists

• Watch this help video first! Video help with how to create your ‘About Me’ Google Sheet: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/197021/Video%20Tutorials/GSheets/Create%20About%20Me%20GSheet%20%28f16%29.mp4
• Your spreadsheet should have 2 columns

• People: Who are the most important people in your life? (for example, parents, siblings, relatives, friends, athletes, musicians, clubs or organizations)
• Interests (places, activities, things): What are your favorite things to do or have and where have you been or would you like to go someday?
• In other words, you like (what) because of (who)?

• Click here to get to your Drive: https://drive.google.com/drive/my-drive
• Here’s a Skitch of my personal example lists

• Here’s a labeled image of what you are making

3. Open your 1.05 Notebook in Google Classroom and add the Circle Map image below to your Page 4 background

• It’s very important to add it as a background so it won’t move around and can’t be deleted from your slide  accidentally!
• Google Classroom: https://classroom.google.com/h
• Drag the image below to your desktop
• 
• Watch this animated gif to see how to add it as your Page 4 background (right-click here for a larger view!)
• 

4. Add images to your Circle Map page 4 which represent the things in your ‘About Me’ lists. Search Google for your images or use images from your Drive or Phone if you have any. Use WordArt or Gzaas for names or labels. You need at least 5 images in each area, but you can add more than that if you like. Here are directions and my completed example of what we’re trying to make (using the things I put in my spreadsheet)

• 
• Make it look cool! Fill your Circle Map with stuff that explains who you are! If you don’t have images of the important people in your life, add labels with their names.
