Midterm Exam: Lesson Plans Used
Mystery Message Word Processing

Model the typing of the following. Discuss the proper spacing: one space after a word, one space
after a comma (and none before a comma), and two spaces after the punctuation mark at the end of
a sentence (. , ?, or !). Discuss the use of the Shift key for capitalizing (not Caps Lock). As you
model, students will be typing the same on their computer. You may want to increase your font size
to a size large enough for the class to see as you demonstrate.

The process of learning to type may seem hard at first. With
practice, it will get easier. Take my word for it.

Once the above has been typed, follow the step-by-step directions below to word process and
reveal the Mystery Message. This lesson is designed to be teacher directed. Students will learn
to select text (highlight) and Replace with other text or Delete, Cut and Paste, and Copy and Paste.
Show students that when you Cut, Copy, and Paste, you can access these functions from the menu
bar, from buttons, or from keyboard short cuts.

1. Select The p. *
2. Type capital P and it will replace selected text.
Document will look like this:

Lesson Plan

Do your students need basic spreadsheet skills, but you aren't an expert with Excel? Never fear!
This lesson plans breaks down the basic skills of inputting data and adding graphs so even users
with the most basic skills can quickly gain confidence and competence with Excel. The lesson is best
taught as a whole class in a lab, cart, or one-to-one setting, but can be modified for a classroom
center of one to four computers.

Begin by explaining to students that they will learn how to create colorful graphs by adding data to a
computer program called Excel. Have each student watch you as you open the TastyTech template.
Demonstrate to students the following three steps:

1. Click cell A2, where the words "Teacher's Name" are and type your name instead. Explain that the
box around your name is called a cell, and that the cell you used is called A2 because it's in
column A, row 2.
2. Ask students to name three of their favorite fast food items, such as a burger, milkshake, chicken
nuggets, and so on from a specific restaurant. Highlight the words "Fast Food Item #1," "Fast Food
Item #2," and "Fast Food Item #3." Type instead the names of the foods they choose.
3. Explain to students that you are going to rate the food 3, 2, or 1. A "3" means they love it; "2"
means it's okay; and "1" means it's yukky! Demonstrate by putting scores in cells B2, C2, and D2
for each of the food items. (You should have a 3, 2, or 1 in each of those cells.)

Have students open the TastyTech template on their own computers (Be sure to put the file on
students' computers beforehand, or show them how to access it on the school's network if that's an
option). Call on each student individually, and have students call out their evaluations (3, 2, or 1) for
each food. The rest of the class then types each student's name and score for each food on their
own worksheets. Walk around to make sure students are putting the information in the correct cells
and that no student is behind.

When the spreadsheets are complete, have students save and print their work. Next, walk students
through the four easy steps of creating a graph of their work. Have them click Insert > Chart at the
top of the screen and then

1. For Step One: Make sure "Column" is selected under Chart type, and then click Next.
2. For Step Two: Click Next.
3. For Step Three:
o Under Chart Title, type "Student Name Fast Food Chart" (Replace Student Name with real
students' names.)
o Under category (X) axis, type "Names."
o Under Value (Y) axis, type "Our Evaluations."
o Click Next.
4. For Step Four: Click "As New Sheet" and then click Finish.

Each student now should see a graph of the fast food survey results. Students can print the graphs
for class work credit.
Excel Basics

1) Open Microsoft Excel

2) Take a look at this picture to start learning the names of things in Excel:

Excel is used for making spreadsheets. A spreadsheet is used to organize information and
numbers. You can make graphs and charts in excel. You can sort information. You can do
math (even complicated math). You can make tables. You can do many things, but these are
the basics that we will cover.

Now, answer the questions on the next pages using the picture and Excel on your computer.
Cyber Bullying Report

For the next 3 classes we will make a report in PowerPoint about Cyber Bullying.

Cyber Bullying is a lot like regular bullying, except it happens online.

1) Open PowerPoint
-Go to Start...All Programs...Microsoft Office...PowerPoint

Student Activity
Introduce Animal Alphabet Activity (2 week project): Our goal is to have a
complete alphabet (including 26 images illustrating each letter). Please assign a
letter to each student. In order to create a complete alphabet for each class,
you may assign a second letter to students who successfully complete their first
letter, or you can create images for the remaining letters.

Students will choose an animal that begins with their assigned letter. In
PowerPoint, they should include the letter, the name of their animal, a sentence
about their animal, and a picture (using clipart). When they are finished, they
need to save the PowerPoint file to the desktop so it can be completed next
week.
