Today you will
- put one picture in a document
- resize it and wrap text around it
- write where the picture came from
Get ready
Get one image file onto this computer, like a phone photo. If you have none, take a photo of your desk now.
If {{code:03_proposal_draft}} is missing, make it in {{code:03_documents}} and paste this in.
My Something Real Proposal
Purpose: This project is about something I care about, and it is for a real reader outside the school.
Plan: Over the next six weeks I will take one clear step each week and keep a short record of what I did.
Outcome: By the end I will have a finished piece of work to show that reader, and a note on what I would change next time.
Warm-up
What picture would explain your Something Real project in three seconds?
You can get a picture in three honest ways.
- Phone photo: a photo you took yourself.
- Licensed stock: a free photo from a site like Pexels, with a clear licence.
- AI image: a picture made by AI, and you must say so.
Your Image Source Log is four lines saying where the picture came from.
Source route:
What it shows:
Licence or disclosure:
File note:
Example: Phone photo / Tray of buns / Own photo, no licence needed / .jpg, resized on the page
Phone photos are usually .jpg. If yours is .heic, save a .jpg copy first.
You will practise in a new file called {{code:03_image_practice}}, not your real proposal. Follow the steps in the box below. Paste these three lines into your new file:
Purpose: We will run a weekend baking stall at the Saturday market in Tullamore to raise money for the local youth club.
What we sell: Traybakes, scones and tea, priced at €2 or €3 so families can buy something small.
What we need: A table, a clear sign, a cash box with €20 in change, and two helpers for each shift.
If you get stuck
- The picture is huge. Drag a corner handle in to about one-third of the page, then set wrap.
- The file is .heic and won't insert. Save a .jpg copy from your phone's Photos app, then try again.
- Text sits on top of the picture. Select it, set {{btn:Square}} or {{btn:Wrap text}}, then nudge the picture sideways.
Pick your picture
Most of you will use a phone photo, or the photo of your desk. For your log, write: Own photo, no licence needed.
Only use these if your teacher says so today:
- Licensed stock: read the site's licence and put the site name and licence in your log.
- AI image: never show real people or copyrighted characters. Your log must include this line:
AI-generated image; not a photograph of a real person.
Find the file you will insert now. If you can't, photograph your desk.
