Topic: | Word Processing (EDITED) |
Content: | Computer Skills |
Goals: | Students will be able to create a new word processing document. Students will be able to save a file for the first time. |
Objectives: | Using MS Word, students will create a new word processing document using at least three sentences, creating a personal folder and saving it to My Documents. |
Materials: | teacher computer, projector to demonstrate method, student computers |
Introduction: | Discuss how word processing on a computer is used in place of pencil and paper to create written sources. It is much more useful because the file can be edited, saved and retrieved easily. |
Development: | Using my computer and the projector, I will demonstrate how to create a new WP file, identify it as a new file, add data to the file. Create a personal folder under My Documents and save the file for the first time using a specific file name. |
Practice: | Students will now create a new WP file, add 3 sentences of data. Create a folder on My Documents, save the file in the folder with a specific name. |
Accommodations: | Student may type just his/her name in a new WP document and then save it in a newly created folder under My Documents. |
Checking For Understanding: | Have students tell their study buddy the process they used to create and save the file for the first time. |
Closure: | Have students describe when this might be useful for other class assignments. |
Evaluation: | Observe each students created file in their personal folder. |
Teacher Reflections: | Verify every student has created and saved at least one file. Did they enjoy this process, as well as learn a new technique? Will I use this with another class? |
