Animations, Images, and Diplomas

During the past two weeks, I have added to donnayoung.org:

Three Manuscript Animations

The letters o, n, and f were added and they are linked from two pages:
Manuscript Animations This area offers the animations in two sizes, regular and stretched (big).

Manuscript Animations (100 easy lessons) This is the 100 Easy Lessons area. Some of the animations have an accompanying sound related image.

Form Images and More Formats

When I redid donnayoung.org, one of my goals was to bring back images of the files for easier browsing. I have been doing that gradually and usually not calling it a new item.
The Weeklies at: Lesson Plan Forms have images now, but it qualifies for an announcement because I added word files in the formats DOC and RTF. I have to mention that the added doc’s and rtf’s are most likely in the Word Downloads, so if you have already downloaded the word files, then these added doc’s and rtf’s will not be new to you.

Diplomas

The diplomas are back full time and they are at: Diploma. They are in the formats of RTF, DOC and a Typeable PDF. The typeable PDF is not 100% compatible with all systems. Click on the image to see a larger image of the typeable pdf.

The diplomas have better grammar than the ones I had last year. Grammar is troublesome on a diploma. The previous years diplomas were worded after a diploma from the ’70s.

English Menu

The navigation menu in English has been done. It wasn’t compatible with IE7. I didn’t know that, I didn’t have IE7. I have to confess that I just dumped all of the links in the first English menu because I was behind schedule. When I found out about IE7 not liking my lame solution, I fixed it. However, I wasn’t ready to fix it, that is why I dumped the links in the first place. Now I have organized the English menu (sort of) and IE7 likes it but most of the new landing pages are, for the most part, without content. I will add content to those landing pages sometime this year.

I guess that is about it.

Donna, I was looking at the the Q cursive animation and wondered if people still write the Q that way? I have never seen anyone write an upper case Q that way. I know that is the correct way. Just wondering. smiley

Thanks for all the animation. It is really helpful for the student to see it without a hand in the way. :grin:

It is a funny way to make a Q and I remember wondering about it when I was in grammar school. (why does Q look like 2?) Maybe I’ll look around for another version of Q or maybe I can make one like I make the Q. I make Q like a 2, but it is closed instead of open in front.
