Practice Test 1: Mind Maps and Timelines

  

Mind Maps:

1. Go to the school's home page site and create a mind map with all that the school has to offer,

    categories and subcategories. It's the top menu on the site.

2. Create another mind map about out-of-school activities for this school year.

Timelines:

3. Create a timeline about the history of Lakua School through pictures. The pictures should be

    explained and referred to their own time and date.

When you finish the three tasks, you should zip all three of them and upload the resulting zipped file, with your name on it, to our Moodle platform. There's a special place for that.


That's all for now, folks. Good luck with the practice test!
