Complete your numbers table, and the image of yourself made from different foods you ate. Upload the numbers file as a PDF and link it in your blog. Post the image you made as well. Afterwards, complete any work you hadn't finished, as progress reports are completed over fall break.

You had a form for thursday and friday; can you remember saturday and sunday? You'll only be able to create your picture from the foods you ate; so trying to remember the weekend might help. With your week completed, can your create a final pages with averages for the week? Check my example if your confused.

When complete, upload your image as well as your completed food log. If you use the print > pdf method we've been using; you'll only get one page. Instead, in the overhead menu, go to file, then export, and make sure pdf is selected. Then you can upload it complete with each page of your numbers file.

I've provided a few examples below, if the videos have trouble, use firefox.
