Perhaps by creating a call out box in the text will provide an interesting visual alternative to a pop-up or even adding a drawing or Image Gallery. Here are some resources that might give you more ideas on the interactivity that can be used in Pages to create some interesting visual effects.
I'm wondering if there's a solution for creating books that also include the ability to add a Note. When you use the Landscape templates in Pages the ePub does not allow the ability to "Add Note". This has been confusing to my students because they expect digital books to have this feature. Is there a solution for this, other than just always use the Portrait templates?
Thank you. It's still one of those features that iBooks Author was always consistent with, you always had the option to create a Note. The end user isn't really involved in selecting the template, and so they are confused by this missing advantage of a digital book.
Don't forget that Pages does allow for "links to pages". This easily allows the creation of a book that is not dependent on a linear presentation of pages. Choose your own adventure style of book, or a book that allows the user to select their next page. Students were using the link page feature to create their near and far images. I've not experimented, but I suspect you could use the link feature to create a similar pop up feature.
As another school year begins at Republic Schools, parents need to be cautious and inquire as to the nature of the material that their children may be exposed to. I have spent considerable time over the past couple of years reviewing various curricula across numerous grades in the school district. The material to which children are being exposed in certain classes in Republic Schools is shocking. It is time parents and taxpayers in this school district are informed about this material. For example, my review of the eighth-grade sex education curriculum revealed that children at the middle school are being introduced to concepts such as homosexuality, oral sex, anal sex and specific instructions on how to use a condom and have sex.
Sex education curriculum in the fourth grade includes topics on reproduction. Is this what parents and taxpayers in this community want their children exposed to in school? Is this how taxpayers want their tax money used? Equally shocking is the content of the high school English classes. In high school English classes, children are required to read and view material that should be classified as soft pornography.
One such book is called "Speak." They also watch the movie. This is a book about a very dysfunctional family. Schoolteachers are losers, adults are losers and the cheerleading squad scores more than the football team. They have sex on Saturday night and then are goddesses at church on Sunday morning. The cheer squad also gets their group-rate abortions at prom time. As the main character in the book is alone with a boy who is touching her female parts, she makes the statement that this is what high school is supposed to feel like. The boy then rapes her on the next page. Actually, the book and movie both contain two rape scenes.
In English, children are also required to read a book called "Slaughterhouse Five." This is a book that contains so much profane language, it would make a sailor blush with shame. The "f word" is plastered on almost every other page. The content ranges from naked men and women in cages together so that others can watch them having sex to God telling people that they better not mess with his loser, bum of a son, named Jesus Christ.
Lastly, there is a book in the library recommended for reading called "Twenty Boy Summer." This book glorifies drunken teen parties, where teen girls lose their clothes in games of strip beer pong. In this book, drunken teens also end up on the beach, where they use their condoms to have sex. I confronted the school board with these issues at the June school board meeting. As far as I know, nothing has been done to address these issues to date. This is unacceptable, considering that most of the school board members and administrators claim to be Christian. How can Christian men and women expose children to such immorality? Parents, it is time you get involved!
Editor's note: Republic Superintendent Vern Minor pointed out that the curriculum is abstinence-based and that students can opt out of sex education classes. He also said "Slaughterhouse Five" has been removed, and that "Twenty Boy Summer" is being reviewed. Some of the issues raised by Scroggins were before the start of the school year and were complicated by the timing and renewal process of teachers' contracts, Minor said.
