M5-Photo Safari (Due: A-11/26, B-12/3)

This Week's Mission: 
This is your last mission in Ancient Egypt. I need you to take some pictures of the wonderful things you have seen. 

You will need to post 5-10 images. Each image needs a1-2 sentence caption. You must use Writer's Secret 1.1, 1.2, & 1.3. As well as 2 of the five delicious words (conceive, enormous, paralyze, sandwich, groggy, bon apetite) An example post can be found after this one.

Directions on how to put pictures in your blog (using Firefox):
1-conduct a Google search for the specific image you want, for example: "Tutankhamen" will get you several pictures of King Tut.
2-browse through the thumbnails until you see one you like; click to open it
3-in the "Google Images" preview that opens click on "Full-size image" to the right.
4-right-click on the image and select "Save Image As"
5-make sure you are saving your image to the desktop, give it a title that makes sense to you, and press save.
6-in your "new post" window on blogger click the little picture just to the left of "link." If you hover over it, it will read "Insert Image"
7-in the window that opens make sure "upload" is selected; click "choose file"
8-search for your picture on your desktop, select "Open"
9-wait for the image to be uploaded, when it appears in the window click on it, then click on "add selected."
10-You can change the size of your picture and its alignment by clicking on it and using the toolbar that opens.
11-You will need a caption for each photo. For this mission you should write the captions in your blog. DO NOT use the "add caption" tool found in the picture tool bar.
