Unit 1 Task 2 Pen Picture of Yourself

Unit 1 Task 2 – Pen Picture of Yourself

My dilemma: it is time for Year 7 IT to show what you’re capable of doing with Microsoft Word. I am faced with a sea of eager smiling faces. I wonder about each individual but how will I get to know who each individual is? How will I know who is the brilliant reader, the fantastic footballer, the musician, the keen artist, the person who is kind to others, the person with the blonde hair…………….how will I even remember each student’s names? Help me to get to know you.

Create a dossier of yourself for me, which includes:  A Pen Picture of yourself  A letter of Introduction  A biography of yourself  A History Line  Important People

1. Using Word Art, create a Heading with your name in the heading.

2. Using the table button on the standard toolbar, create a table, which is 2 x 2.

3. Save the document in the folder you created called ME.

 Select File in the toolbar.  Select Save As.  Select the folder to save it in……this is the folder you have created called ME.  Type in a file name at the bottom…. Pen Picture.

4. In the Top Left hand corner, type in your personal details using a variety of sizes of fonts.

5. In the Top Right hand corner, import your photo (you may have to resize the photo to fit into the box).

6. In the Bottom Left hand corner, type in a bulleted list of three things you like.

7. In the Bottom Right hand corner, type in a bulleted list of three things you dislike.

8. Print Preview your work. 9. Add a footer:

 Select View from the toolbar.  Select Header and Footer.  Switch from header to footer.  On the left hand side, place your name.  Press the tab button once and insert the date from the menu.  Press the tab button again and type in the file saving name (pen picture.doc).

10. Save the document again by clicking on the disk in the standard toolbar.

Extension Activity: You can add to your Pen Picture by typing more details about yourself either in the boxes you already have, or create another row, so now you have a table which is 2 x 3. UNIT 1 Task 2 – Example of what the Pen Picture would look like.
