(or a graphics program approved by Mr. Wagner) create a poster for  National 

Aborginal Day June 21 or For a local School event such as:

 the running club, table tennis tournament, coding club ** CREATE ONE FROM SCRATCH 

WITHOUT A TEMPLATE.

You will be using each application in browser. For Canva you can open, 

select student, skip inviting team, and then create your own at the top right corner. 

Play around with it today and see all that it can do!
