Module 4 Assignments

Your assignment is to re-format the letter below, which you have written to apply for a job.  The job is just what you’re looking for, the pay is great, and you’ve got the right skills and qualities for the position (well, some of you have!). Create a document (using either Word or Docs), name it either WonderWomanLetter or SuperManLetter, and format your letter so that it mirrors this letter.  Use margins of 2.00 cm (.8″) for top and bottom and 3.0 cm (1″) for the sides and frame your document using Page Borders (Word only). Insert an appropriate graphic that you download from the internet (hint: use Google Images) into your document.
You can copy the text from this screen and paste it into your document to get started. Save your final version in your Comp 040 folder (if you have one) and ask your instructor/instructional assistant how you should submit it.
123 Anystreet Sometown, BC V9B 5Y2 September 10, 2018 The Best Place to Work 234 Another Street Victoria, BCV9B 1Y0 Dear Ms. Manager: I read the ad for the position of Wonder Woman as advertised in the weekend edition of the Times Colonist. I have attached a resume to this cover letter.  In it, you will find documentation that details my education and work experience performing many of the tasks you’ve outlined in your advertisement.  For example, not only can I look entirely different just by removing my headband and leotard, but I can: run faster than a speeding bullet, leap tall buildings in a single bound, lift vehicles with very little effort and blow cold air (useful in freezing foods in the event of a freezer malfunction). You will see that I’ve attended the Hero/Heroine School of Excellence and scored extremely well in all areas of study. I look forward to hearing from you.  I can be reached at 123-4567 at any time.  Please don’t worry about time zones or quiet hours, as I don’t need sleep. Please note my reference.  He(She)’s available day and night as well. Superman(Wonder woman) No fixed Address Any payphone in the city Yours truly, Wonder Woman (Superman)
Make sure to ask for help if you need it at any step of this assignment! Please refer to the Resources folder for a business letter format example.

In this assignment, you will create a 3-column flyer that advertises a fitness centre. The finished product should look something like this example.
Using Word:

1. After you have opened a new document in Word, go to the Layout tab and choose Landscape from the Orientation drop-down. Then, in the same Layout tab, choose Three from the Columns drop-down.
2. Now go to the Home tab and click the Show/Hide Formatting icon so that paragraph marks are shown. This will help you to position your text and graphics.

Using Docs:

1. After you have opened a new document, go to Page Setup and choose Landscape orientation. Set the margins to be 0.5 in. Then go to the Format menu and choose 3 from Columns.
2. Show/Hide Formatting is not available in Docs.

For either word processor:

1. Print a copy of the sample brochure (from the link above) or open it in another tab, and use it to guide you in designing your brochure. Feel free to use different fonts, text colours and images (you can choose your own images on the web). If you want to use the same images, you can find them here, here and here.
2. Don’t forget to save your work regularly if using Word. When you are finished, save the final version in your Comp 040 folder (if you have one). Ask your instructor/instructional assistant how they would like you to submit your work.

In this assignment, you will work with lists, tables, page breaks, headers and footers to create a document that looks like this brief report. Although very short, this document gives you an idea of some ways that you might use word processing in a college or business report. Open the sample document or print it so that you can refer to it while you are working.

1. Open a new document. Start by creating the main text, rather than the header and footer. Use your own name and the current date.
2. In Word, you can find the tools to create lists in the middle of the Home tab. In Docs, the tools are to the right side of top menu. Feel free to use a different style of list, for example, letters or bullets instead of numbers.
3. To insert a Table, use the Insert tab in either word processor. Once you have created a table, you can edit it using the Table Tools Design and Layout tabs in Word. In Docs, use the Format pull-down menu; select Table to see the options. The first table in the sample document is basic; the second design was chosen from the Design tab under Table Tools in Word. Which one do you think is clearer? (If you want to create a similar format in Docs, you will need to set the formatting yourself. Feel free to use basic format for both tables or to create a table design of your own.)
4. You can insert Headers, Footers and Page numbers from the Insert tab in either word processor.

Ask for help at any stage. Once you have finished your document, save it in your Comp 040 folder (if you have one). Ask your instructor about how they would like you to submit your work.
