Computer Applications Final Culminating Project



Nationality Assignment – MS Word/Computer Applications (George)

Choose one nationality that represents your ethnic background. You are going to celebrate this ethnic background for one day of the year in Hingham. You are going to create a black and white flyer (not color) that explains how you’re going to celebrate it. Your flyer/brochure should:

• Describe one culture (the way people live) – what you’d wear, eat, how you’d spend your time, music, etc.

• Explain how one would celebrate the culture in Hingham

• Provide details to your family if your family was going to celebrate its heritage for one day

• Inform the class about a culture

• Communicate to other students how one would celebrate an ethnic background

• Demonstrate appropriate use of Word features in an interesting and organized format

It should be informative to you and to other students who may or may not have the same ethnic background. Be creative. Make it interesting and fun. It should also demonstrate the appropriate use of more than 12 MS Word features. List the 10 features at the bottom of your brochure (either in the footer or in a text box). Your name should be somewhere on the one-page flyer. Save it in your Word folder with a meaningful file name. You will be using this later in the course when you present this using PowerPoint. This should NOT BE a historical report on a country. All of your content should be in your own words. (The content from this document will be used later in our PowerPoint unit that includes an oral presentation).
