Outsiders Newsletter Project

You need to create this newsletter using Letterpop. I have shown you how to use the app in class. When you are done creating your newsletter you need to publish it and make it public. Once you have done that you will get a URL.

Take a screencapture of the newsletter and upload it to your class e-portfolio. You must name it Yournameoutsiders.png.

At your e-portfolio you will link the picture to your URL.

Here is a movie about how to create a letterpop.
