Reflection 16 Document Processing

Word Processing


What was the task to be completed?

Define Word Processing

Create a word processed document with the use of the Assure Model Lesson Plan completed.

Outline step-by-step instructions in how to complete the task.

A processed document is one which particular enhancements have been added to improve its features. Documents such as Lesson Plans, Rubrics, Time Tables, Brochures and Pamphlets can be processed. Things such as borders, font (color and size), page color. watermark, pictures and video's are things used to process a document.

In processing our ASSURE Model Lesson Plans, we did the following;

1. We add border by clicking on the design tab. (you can choose lines or art to add borders. Ensure it does not clash.)
2.  We then add color to the pages by clicking on the design tab. 
3. We then added a Watermark by clicking on the design tab.
4. We then added bold, highlight, font color and italics to the document. 
5. We then inserted page number in the footer on the right side of the page. 
6. We then went into page layout and added a new page break which created section 2. 
7. We changed page 2 to letter A. 
8. We then added another page break and page 3 became section 3 and changed it from letter A to Roman Numeral (i). 
9. We then changed the orientation to Landscape by going into Page Layout
10. We then added another page to the end of the document and changed it back to portrait so that we have the pages appearing in portrait, then landscape then portrait. 
11. We the selected the title of the document and changed the appearance using Word Art. 

What were the challenges faced in this class? If any, how were they overcome? 

I found this lesson to be very difficult in completing tasks such as adding page breaks, the landscape orientation and getting my document to be arranged as it should. this was overcome by using the 3 P's; Patience, Practice and Perseverance. 

Was there anything new learnt as a result of this teaching-learning experience? If yes, what was it and explain how you benefited from it? 

From this experience, I learnt how to add page breaks to a document to add sections and also how to change page numbers to letters and roman numerals.

Explain how you will use/implement what was covered in the lesson, in the classroom.

I could utilize Word Processing in my classroom to create documents which are aesthetically attractive to my students.
