I used to teach Word for temps, so I'll throw some ideas from there. They should adapt fairly well.
Traditionally, I would give the students two documents--one electronic and one paper. The goal would be to make the electronic one match the formatting of the paper one as closely as possible. The documents were: 1. A business letter 2. A short-story manuscript 3. A resume 4. A document using tables of various sizes and formats 5. A form letter to be generated via a mail merge. 6. A magazine-style article to be laid out with various size headers, subheaders, and pull-quotes. This covered 95% of what they would be expected to use on the job. --Jekke -----Original Message----- From: TheLoneGoldfish [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, May 05, 2006 1:47 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [users] Lesson Ideas Hello, I'm teaching an Introduction to Computer Applications class that will cover mostly Writer and Calc. I was wondering if anyone had ideas for assignments I could give for the class. I just need some real-worldish document ideas I can use to teach various aspects of the software from. An example I've come up with include having the students write up a checkbook in Calc. I'm having the most trouble coming up with examples for writer for some reason. Any ideas would be appreciated. -Evan Parker --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
