Discussion Topic Option 1

Have you ever watched online tutorials about how to create an art project, how to do a trick, or how to use a new strategy in a game?

Think about a tutorial that you could create for other students. Your purpose will be to help someone your age complete the steps in the tutorial. Write, edit, and revise a short script. Be sure to include specific details. You also may want to include some props, diagrams, or images to communicate your instructions.

Option 2

In an informational text, the author’s primary purpose is to inform readers. The author uses clear language that can be organized in a variety of structures, such as chronological or compare and contrast, to effectively present the information.

Think about an event that will be happening in your school or community that you’d like to inform others about. How would you present this information to students and others in your community? What is your topic? What organizational structures, word choice, print and graphics, or other elements could you use? Write a description of how you would present the information.

Option 1

Getting rid of a computer virus

1) Download a virus scanner

(Put pictures of logos of antivirus software examples: ex. Malwarebytes)

2) Disconnect from the internet

This is important! Some viruses spread through the internet connection and can cause even more harm.

3) Set your computer to “Safe Mode”

Press F8, go to "advanced boot options," and click "safe mode with networking." But keep the internet disconnected!

4) Delete all temporary files

Also important! Temporary files are risky.

(Insert picture of Windows logo and search bar with "temporary files typed in the bar and "free up disk space" showing, with a highlighted cursor hovering over it)

5) Run a virus scan with your newly installed software

6) “Quarantine” any malware found

This basically means delete.

(Insert cursor hovering over "quarantine" button)

7) Restart your computer

8) Change all of your passwords

A preventative safety measure to keep your information from being stolen.

9) Make sure you update your browsers, software, and operating system

Updating means better privacy and security to protect your computer from being infected in the first place. Because viruses are updated regularly to bypass existing security, updating can save you!!

Explanation:

There aren't any events going on in my community but if there were and I needed to tell more people about it I would make some posters to inform more people about whatever event is coming up and I would post on media so more could have the chance to see it. I wouldn't say too much about it so people don't get bored, I would only put the necessary information needed. Such as, where its at, what its for, and what time it is. I would use bright colors on the posters to grab peoples attention and bold letters so its not hard to see.

Hope that helps!
