Research Aloud Handouts

At the end of the semester when things can, and do, get crazy it's important for everyone to have a consistent way they submit the handouts that partially comprise their Research Aloud project (along with the audio and original article). Here's the key things you need to keep in mind:

1. Submitted handouts need to be in one complete package. Not bits and pieces that need to be stitched together somehow.


2. If you can submit a complete PDF handout yourself, then that's great! Just upload.


3. If you can not submit a complete handout yourself, then there are two options: scan everything or scan some bits and integrate into one PDF.


4. The simplest approach is to scan everything. This means you need to have everything printed or ready to scan for Saturday's class. Come to me during the 3 to 5 time slot and I'll scan your handouts as one document.


5. The next simplest approach is that you already have some things as a PDF, but have a few pages that need to be scanned and put into your already existing PDF. Then come to me during the 3 to 5 time slot. I'll scan those handouts that need to be scanned. You'll need to provide the PDF of your partially completed handouts. Then you and I can create the final integrated PDF in the classroom.

There are other options, but they will only work if you really know how to work with PDFs and already know how to do things like adding pages to a PDF document, reordering pages, and the such. For 90% of you the simplest and best approach will be to come to class with all the pages of your handouts ready to be scanned.
