This unit will introduce using templates, images and cliparts. Students will still be
engaged in editing academic documents but will also begin using templates for
letters, posters and greeting cards. Students can do great things with little effort
using templates. They will also be able to learn techniques of doing things with
templates. It is advised to go beyond “just completing” activities and tasks and
move towards studying “how they did that” with the help of the templates.
They can name almost all the icons in the standard and formatting toolbar and
state what it is used for.
They can make presentable documents such as letters, cards and posters with
the help of templates. Their typing skills will be moving towards the QWERTY
row.
They will be conscious about positioning their fingers properly every time they
begin typing.

colors and white space. They will be able to find the corresponding menu
commands or icons to finish their task.

processor.

The unit centers on using a word processor to enhance visual learning. It covers
using drawing tools and more advanced features of handling images and
pictures. Students will use images which they in turn can label the parts, or
come up with a storyboard sequence. Activities will ask students to make
concept maps and other graphic organizers.
Students are also expected to be using the computer laboratory time to make
academic requirements for other subjects using a word processor.
They can identify and compare menu commands against icons and short cut keys.
They can state the ways of using the drawing tools and all its properties.
They will be critical of layout design and be open to other ways of presenting a
topic visually.
Reminders:
It is highly recommended that visual organizers are first done on paper and
shown to the teacher or parent before actually making them in a word processor.
This method will distinguish the knowledge in using visual organizers against
using the word processor.
