1.    Pick up your folder as usual, and remove and then review  the corrected printouts from your folder.  Plan to edit any “unmailables” as homework and submit them at the beginning of the next class period.

2. Review of Production Test 1 (only if your instructor has completed grading all tests). 

3.    Today we'll begin with teacher demonstrations/discussions on "applying styles" (Lesson 81 of your WP Manual) and "creating footnotes" (Lesson 41 in your WP Manual).  You are expected to apply styles according to the procedures outlined in the Word Processing Manual so the "Table of Contents" in Lesson 85 will automatically generate in Word.

3.    Launch Word from your desktop and then open the file you created at our last class meeting for Report 81-58. Open your textbook to Lesson 82, page 310, and continue adding to this report file.  Page endings may vary from student to student, depending on software settings and hyphenation decisions.  This report continues from day to day in Lessons 81 through 85.  Each day you will add new pages to the same file begun in Lesson 81. The next two pages of the report (pages 2 and 3) are due at the end of class today.     Proofread each page against the textbook, print them, and place them in your folder for grading.

4.    In GDP, go to Test 4 (page 299 of your textbook) and take the five-minute timed writing three times.  Then do Lesson 82 ABCD.

5. That’s it for today.  Be sure to return your test paper printouts to your instructor so your grades can be recorded.  See you Thursday!

1. Please pick up your folder, and remove and then review the corrected printouts from your folder.  Plan to edit any "unmailables" as homework and submit them at the beginning of the next class period.

2.    Demonstration/discussion of working with "clip art" (Lesson 83 of your WP Manual) and Table 84-42, p. 318, and how to insert this file into the body of the report on p. 319.

3. Today's assignments:

a. Launch Word from the Windows desktop; open Report 81-58 from your disk, and continue to add to this file the text  for Report 81-58 on pages 314-315 in Lesson 83.  Then save and close the file Report 81-58. In your textbook, turn  to Table 84-42 on page 318 and create a new file for this boxed table.  Proofread your table and save/close this file; do not print the table.  You will insert this table into the report next week.  (See instructions in red on the middle of page 319.)   Reopen your Report 81-58 file and continue to add to this file typing the report pages on pages 318-319 until you have two full pages of text (pages 4 and 5) to turn in.  You may stop typing when you have pages 4 and 5.  Proofread carefully, checking each word in your document against the textbook copy.  Print pages 4 and 5, and place in your folder for grading. 

b. In GDP, do Lesson 83 ABCDEFh.

c.    Print a Portfolio Report for this week's skill building lessons, Lessons 82-83.  Place this printout along with report pages 4 and 5 into your folder.  That's it for today. 

HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!
