When using Flash all of the options available can be intimidating. The more you use it the more comfortable you will become and then the fun begins.

The handout contains step-by-step instructions for completion. There are ten different projects. The first nine are relatively simple with one element emphasis - these will be graded as Minor Grades. Project #10 (April Showers) incorporates most of the other nine projects into one major project. The grade for "April Showers" will count as a Major Grade. Take the time to follow the directions carefully. Save each project by the prescribed name in a folder entitled "Flash" in your period folder on the T: drive.

Completed projects will be graded on screen to determine if they were completed according to the printed instructions.
