Unbound Report Major Assignment
Step 1 - Choose a topic - your topic should be of interest to you, something you feel passionate about.
Step 2 - Write a thesis statement
Step 3 - Develop an outline
How to Make and Use an Essay Outline
An essay outline is probably the most important friend you will have while writing your essay. It is the scaffolding of your paper and the skeleton of your ideas. It is the framework by which you will write a killer essay. And frankly, it is difficult to write one without an outline.
When you begin writing an essay outline, use the following model as a guide:
I. INTRODUCTION:
Thesis:_____________________________________________________.
II. BODY PARAGRAPH 1:
Opening Sentence:___________________________________________.
Detail 1:____________________________________________________.
Detail 2:____________________________________________________.
Detail 3:____________________________________________________.
III. BODY PARAGRAPH II:
Transition/Opening Sentence:_________________________________.
Detail 1:____________________________________________________.
Detail 2:____________________________________________________.
Detail 3:____________________________________________________.
IV. BODY PARAGRAPH III:
Transition/Opening Sentence:_________________________________.
Detail 1:____________________________________________________.
Detail 2:____________________________________________________.
Detail 3:____________________________________________________.
V. BODY PARAGRAPH IV:
Transition/Opening Sentence:_________________________________.
Detail 1:____________________________________________________.
Detail 2:____________________________________________________.
Detail 3:____________________________________________________.
VI. CONCLUSION:
Reconfirmed Thesis:_________________________________________.
If you use this rough guide and fill in the blanks as you are researching your essay, you will find writing the essay so simple. You have all you need in front of you. It is researched and organized. All you have to do now is fill in the blanks with transition words and smooth language.

How to Create a Tri-Fold Brochure Using Publisher
Tri-fold brochures are used by many businesses, schools and organizations to sell a product or service, provide data and statistics or offer other information. Brochures are popular because they use colors and pictures along with basic text to capture the reader's attention. They are also easy to mail, carry and distribute. You can make brochures that appear polished and professional using Microsoft Publisher.

Conducting a class survey
1. Choose a survey question, e.g. do you like the Canucks? are you going away this Summer? what is your shoe size?
2. Record your results on a piece of paper, keep track of the total number of students you ask.
3. Open Microsoft Word, click
"insert"
"chart"
"pie"
4. Now you will have to input your information. You are given 4 categories by default. If your question only has a yes/no answer, you only need 2 categories. If you could have multiple answers, you may need more than 4.
5. To calculate the percentage you need to take however may people said "yes" and divide it by the total number asked.
You do the same for the "no" people. The number you are given will be the percentage out of 100.
So if you ask 10 people and 6 say yes. You do 6 \ 10 = 0.6 --> therefore 60% said yes.
That leaves 4 out of 10 who said no. So 4 \ 10 = 0.4 --> 40% said no
Your pie graph would look a bit like this:
Graphs should be finished and handed in by the end of class.

1. Finish any work left on your "Celebrity Ascii" picture from yesterday
2. Create your own Keyboarding assignment.
By this point, I bet you can think "If I could create any assignment for a keyboarding class, I would have my students do this..."
I would like you to come up with your own creative idea for an assignment.
The assignment must involve typing and must be measurable (i.e. you must have a certain speed or certain amount of words that can be counted)
Beyond that, the assignment could be whatever you want.
Please describe your "ideal assignment" in a minimum of 300 words.
Describe what the student should do and what should be the final outcome of the assignment. What would a perfect finished copy look like.
Some potential ideas:
Help Wanted ad for a store
Speech for a politician
Newspaper article
Job Application
'Car for Sale' ad on craigslist
Sales pitch for a new product
* Note: you are not writing the assignments above, you are describing what your assignment would be like if you were the keyboarding teacher.
Place in the "my perfect assignment" hand-in folder when complete.

Today we will practice making some ASCII art images.
These are created solely with using your keyboard and using a
combination of various letters and symbols. You must be careful
to use your spacing and tab keys.
ASCII is an acronym for American Standard Code for Information Interchange. There are only 94 ASCII characters (95, if you include the space)-- these are the ones that are typically found on the standard American keyboard:
abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
0123456789
< > [ ] { } ( ) ~ ! @ # $ % ^ & * _ + | - = ; : " ' ` ? \ / . ,
(space)
Today's task will be to duplicate any 2 of the following images.
You should use the program "NOTEPAD" to do this. You will find this located under your Start Menu & "Accessories" folder.
