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.    In GDP, do Lesson 84 ABC; when you are done, take the five-minute timed writings specified by your instructor.  Take the timed writing at least three times.  Before exiting GDP, print a portfolio report of the five-minute timed writings.

3.    Exit GDP, launch MS Word, and continue typing Report 81-58.  Pick up where you left off during the last class meeting.   When you get to the middle of page 319  in your textbook, insert the file Table 84-42 from your disk into your report (click on "Insert," "File," in MS Word) where indicated.  Be sure the table is centered horizontally between the left and right margins. Finish typing the remaining paragraph, which is the end of the report body.  Proofread very carefully and print these last pages of your report body to submit to your instructor. 

4.    Review page R-7B (format of a title page); then create Report 85-59, which is a title page for this report.  Replace Lydia Reyes with your name on the title page as the Marketing Manager for Gold Coast Healthcare. 

5.    Submit printouts of the five-minute timed writing scores, the last pages of Report 81-58, and your title page (Report 85-59) to your instructor for grading.

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.    In GDP, do Lesson 85, ABCD and Lesson 86 D (the timed writing may be repeated three more times).

3.    Demonstration/discussion of how to "generate" a Table of Contents (Report 85-60) in Word and create a  Bibliography (Report 85-61) for Report 81-58:

a.    Review the following pages in the Word Processing Manual:  R‑7D (format of table of contents), R‑9B (format of a bibliography) and Lessons 44 (hanging indent) and 45 (dot leader tabs).

b.    Do NOT type the Table of Contents.  Because we applied the customized Word "styles" we created to the headings in the report, Word  will automatically generate the Table of Contents for us based on the styles we used.  The procedure will be demonstrated by your instructor.  The Table of Contents page we create will become a new page of your "Report 81-58" file; you will  NOT be able to save it as a separate file.

d.    The "hanging indent" feature (FORMAT; Paragraph; Indents and Spacing Tab; Indentation, "Special") will be used to format the Bibliography (Report 85-61).  It should be saved as a separate file named "Report 85-61.

4.    Because today is Thursday, click on “Portfolio” to print a report of Lessons 84, 85, and 86 (this week’s skill building).  Place this printout, along with the Word documents, in your folder and submit them for grading.
