Assignment 2 Guide (Alice)

These guidance notes cover one way to meet the Pass requirements for the Alice task.

Open the text file. It has 6 fairly obvious errors which need to be corrected. Spellcheck should handle them OK.
This text can then be used in whichever application you choose to use. These notes are for Word.

Copy the corrected text into a new Word document.

Change the Page Layout to A5 Landscape. Adjust the font / font size so it fits reasonably on 3 or 4 pages. Add your name as a footer. That's the first draft required. Save that.

For the presentation, these notes are for PowerPoint. Open a new file and change the Slide Size to A4 landscape.
Choose the Title + Content layout for the first slide.
Type or copy the title (Alice in Wonderland) as a slide title.
Copy chunks of text from the A5 draft you've done to slides. You'll need six or seven to fit it all on, depending on the font size and spacing.
Use the same title for each slide
When all the text has been added there may be different size or spacing on some slides. Adjust each one so that they are the same, moving some text if required.
Add your name as a footer on one or more of the slides
Save that file.

For the newspaper draft, start a new file (A4 portrait as normal)
Paste the text in.
Select it all and use Page Layout / Columns to change it to a three column layout. Justify the text too.
You may have to reduce the font size to make it all fit on a single sheet.
Add the title Alice In Wonderland as a header and your name in the footer.
Save that file.

The next stage is to add images, a header and page numbers to the A5 landscape version you save earlier.
Add 4 images. At least one must be from those supplied. Your text will probably spread over 4 pages so add one image to each page.
In the header, type the title.
In the footer, Use Insert > Page Numbers to add numbers to each page on the bottom right of each page
Add a new first page and type the title there in a large font so that it almost fills the page.
You also need to add some graphics. these are the + - x and ÷ symbols (Lewis Carrol loved numbers!)
These can either be obtained from the internet or you can make them yourself using shapes or Word Art. Each graphic should be set to be wrapped Behind Text. You can position them so that they either appear one per page or all showing on each page. Just ensure that the text is still legible.

To remove the header and footer from the first page, you need the Header and Footer tools which will be available when you Edit Header (if necessary use Insert > Header > Edit Header). On the toolbar there will be a Different First Page option to tick. That will apply to both the Header and the Footer.

Now your page numbers will probably start with 2 on the second page. That looks a bit odd so use Insert > Page Number > Format Page Number and set them to Start at 0. That will make the second page show as page 1.

Add your name to the footer (not showing on the first page).

That completes the second A5 draft. Save the file with a different name.
