1.        Pick up your folder, remove and review graded papers.  If you received a "unmailable" grade on an assignment, study the editing required (compare your document against the textbook).  Set this printout aside to edit for homework after class.  Place all other graded papers in a folder at home. 

2.        At this time, hand to your instructor any redo's of unmailables you did for homework from last week.  (Be sure your edited printout is stapled to the original "unmailable" printout so that your instructor can quickly verify that all required changes were made.  Without the original unmailable printout, your instructor would have to reread the entire document again, which she will not do.)  A redo without the original unmailable copy attached will not be regraded by your instructor, and the original "unmailable" grade becomes an "F."

3.        In GDP, do Lesson 75 ABCD, Lesson 76 ABCD, and Lesson 77 ABCD.  Refer to your Technique Evaluation sheet and concentrate on the next two techniques listed as you do these skill building exercises.

4.    Teacher-led demonstration/discussion on Word features and document formats needed for today's assignments (memo report format and text direction and braced column headings in tables).  Discuss using the Word "header" feature to label printouts in the upper right corner of the first page of your document with your name, exercise name, textbook page number, and date.  The header should print inside the 1" top margin of your document so that it does not alter the vertical position of your document.  Every word processing document should be "labeled" in this manner.

5.    Exit GDP; launch Word from the Windows desktop; create Report 75-57 according to textbook directions.   Create a header containing all required information for page 1 of the report.  Proofread, name, save, and print the file. 

6.    Do Table 76-26, a boxed table, according to textbook directions.  Create a header to "label" the assignment. Proofread, name, save, and print the file. 

7.    Do Table 77-30, another boxed table, according to textbook directions.  Label the printout with an appropriate header.  Proofread, name, save, and print. 

8.    Place all printouts in correct order in your folder and submit to your instructor.

2.    At this time, hand to your instructor any redo's of unmailables you did for homework from the last class meeting.  (Be sure your edited printout is stapled to the original "unmailable" printout so that your instructor can quickly verify that all required changes were made.  Without the original unmailable printout, your instructor would have to reread the entire document again, which she will not do.)

3.  Today's assignments: 

a.        In GDP do  Lesson 78 ABCd and Lesson 79 ABCDEFG.  Refer to your Technique Evaluation sheet and concentrate on the next two techniques listed as you do these skill building exercises.  Print your "portfolio report" for any lessons not checked off by your instructor, including this week's Lessons 75-79.  Place the printout(s) in your folder.

b.        Exit GDP and launch Word from the Windows desktop; do Table 78-34, a boxed table in landscape orientation.  The column headings for each column should be centered, and all tables should be both vertically and horizontally centered on the page.

c.         Next do Table 79-35, a two-page table with a repeating header row.  Ignore textbook instructions to number page 2 in the upper right corner; instead, center the page number at the bottom so that the page number doesn't conflict with the header you will create to label the assignment.

d.        Then do Table 79-36, a revision of Table 79-35, sorting the table by river in ascending order. 

e.    Place all table printouts in your folder in the order listed on your assignment sheet.

f.           That's it for today.  Submit your folder and printouts to your instructor for grading.  Have a nice day!
