Directions

• Log into your Me 2.0 Gmail and click on Documents at the top left. Then go to File > New Document. If the Google Doc is in Korean and you cannot see many fonts then go to google.com and change the settings in the bottom right to Google.com in English.

• Go to File > Page Setup and use the following settings but choose your own light page color background and change the Paper Size from A4 to A3

• Type your name in a light font, about 48pt in size
• Insert a horizontal line (insert > line) directly under your name
• Next you will be placing text below the line so highlight the row below the line (see Donna's example below) and change the text size of 48pt that carried over from the title to 11pt.

• Copy and paste the following text & questions under the horizontal line. Bold the first sentence and highlight it with an appropriate color and add "Your Name." Add bullets to the four questions but do not use the solid black bullet.

• This composition will explain the following about Your Name:

Who are you?

What do you do?

When did you start doing what you’re doing?

Where are you?

(font should be 12pt)

• Insert an appropriate and business-like photo of yourself (you should be wearing a collared-shirt and try to show from your shoulders up, use photobooth or your camera if needed) and move it to the right side of the page by wrapping the text (click on the image and click "fixed" and right align the image). Resize it according to the example above.
• Insert a table that is four columns wide and four columns in length. Click anywhere in the table and go to table > properties and change the border width to 0.5 and border to white.

• In the first row only, change the background color of each cell to white by going to table properties > cell. Make sure click on the white color to select it even if white appears to already be selected.
• In the second row, type the Who, What, When, & Where headings. Space out the column widths equally. Apply bold, center, color, and 14pt font.
• In the third row, write a short paragraph (about 3 sentences, not 4 or more) for each section (Who, What, When, Where) in first person. The example was well written, check out Joshua's (use 11pt font).

• Now find an image that describes each of the four paragraphs. Take a square screenshots so all of the images are squares but can be different sizes. Insert the images in the first row of the table. Click inside the first cell (box) of the first row and go to Table > Properties and change the cell's values to the following and make sure all of the images are horizontally aligned as well as vertically aligned:
