Promote some of your favorite books and authors
by creating bookmarks for AR reading!
1. Prepare your AppleWorks page
using the following setup:
Format: Document... - change all margins to 0.5
Create four columns by clicking column box on tool bar
File: Page Setup... - change to landscape printing
2. On the internet, check for VSMS
AR tests.
A-B-C-D-E-F-G-H-I-J-K-L-M-N-O-P-Q-R-S-T-U-V-W-X-Y-Z
(List of tests available arranged alphabetically
by authors.)
3. Find information
about the author or books.
For your bookmark, you may choose
to...
- write a short biography of the author
or
- compose an enticing lead and recommendation for a specific book
4. Find one or two
graphics to add interest to your bookmark.
Graphics may be found with the
author links or you may copy bookcovers from
Barnes and Noble
or
Amazon.com
To credit artwork, either list the illustrator or the website address.
Note:
Do not go on to Step 5 until you have the first column on the left
exactly the way you want it to look!
5. Copy/paste completed information
into each column
for a total of four bookmarks on the page.
(Note: It is easier to copy/paste graphics in every column first,
followed by the text. Always work from the left column to the right.)
The assignment is to create one bookmark four
times
but if there is time, you may create extra bookmarks in each
column
on a new page for extra credit.
Tech Expert Reminders:
• Always check for the arrow icon when working with graphics
• Arrange: Scale by percent... changes the size of graphics
• Options: Text Wrap... allows words to go around graphics
