Assignment 2: Word Processing and Image Basics

Open Pages to do the first part of this assignment. Start with a blank document.

1. Make a title “My Name’s Classes” (except use your name). Center the title, put it in a font you like, and make the size large. Most of what you need can be found in the Font Panel .
2. There are 2 kinds of images. Inline (Moves with Text), and “Floating”(Fixed on Page). Write a few sentences about your math class. Insert an (appropriate) image. Find it on the internet (Google images? In your sentences around the image, give the URL/web address where you found the image). Drag it into the page. Using the Inspector, make it “fixed on page”, and make text wrap around it.
3. Write a few sentences about your english class. Find an appropriate clipping and make it a floating image. Make the text wrap around it. To do this, select the image and look in the Wrap section of the Inspector. Again, give the URL/web address where you found the image in addition to your other text.

4. Write a few sentences about your history class. Find an appropriate image on the internet and use it as a floating image in the paragraph. Write a caption (including the URL where you got the picture) and put it in a text box near the image. To make a text box, use the Objects icon on your toolbar or use Insert --> Text. You may need to click away from your text (in the margin) to make a text box.
5. Write a few sentences about your science class. Make a little drawing about your science class using the drawing tools in the Objects menu. Make it colorful!
6. Make some of the text in your project different sizes and colors.
7. Put a Footer on your document with your name and the page number.

Challenges: Do at least some of these to get an ‘A’ on the assignment.

• Write a few sentences in a language you are learning. Use symbols like é, and æ. You can learn to see what keys give you these symbols by opening System Preferences, and going to “International”, and selecting the “Inputs” tab. At the bottom, select the “show input menu” box, and up above, select the “Keyboard Viewer” box. Then in your menu bar, click on the flag and select “Show Keyboard Viewer”. While the Keyboard Viewer is visible, click “option” and see the symbols you can make.
• Use a table to show your schedule. Start with Table->Insert Table in the menu.
• Do the same assignment (or as much as you can) in Microsoft Word or Appleworks. Microsoft Word is in the Microsoft Office folder in Applications.
