Pick up the sheet at the end of the table.
I reuse these sheets so no need to write your name on them. You can return them to the table when you are finished.
Open word document from your desktop.
Complete the instructions on the sheet on your doc.
One of the most useful aspects of a document is being able to create
links to other more in-depth information. The links, called hyperlinks
allow you to turn words into clickable links to web sites.
1. Create a new folder on your Google Drive called Hyperlinks.
2. Open the Serif doc in your "Picture Test" folder, make a copy and place it in the Hyperlinks folder you just created.
3. Place the links in the following locations in the document:
Sexting Definition - Place this link in the word "Sexting" in the header of the first paragraph.
Punishment - Place this link in the word "crimes" in the first line of the second paragraph.
Sex Offender Registry - Place this link in the words "sex offender" at the end of the second paragraph.
After placing these links, save the file and share the folder (julie6davis@gmail.com).
This project is worth 30 points and will be graded on technical accuracy. All the links must work properly. All work must be completed by the end of class! Please make sure that your link arrives at the instructor's computer before you leave.

Photos can enhance your presentation by giving the reader a visual
representation of what you are writing. Below are three pictures that
will work with your information paper on sexting laws in the state of
Tennessee. We will use these pictures to enhance the documents we
created in the last lesson "Understanding Type." This lesson must be completed in class.
Assignment:
1. Create a new folder on your Google Drive. Label the folder Picture Test.
2. Copy each of the three documents into the folder. To do this, open
each of the three Type Exercise files, make a copy (File> Make a Copy),
Then move the copy to the Picture test folder (File>Move> Select
folder).
3. Download the three pictures to your hard drive by right clicking each
one (Save Image As> Save to your Downloads folder). Place one
picture in each of the three documents (Insert>Image> Upload). You
must use a different picture for each document.
4. Click on the picture, select Wrap Text. Use 1/8" setting, and place the image in the document so that the text is readable.
Also, do not make the picture so large as to flow the text into a
second page. The document must be one page in length. The picture should
not be more than 3" x 4".
5. Save all three documents in the folder and share the folder with your
instructor via e-mail (julie6davis@gmail.com). To do this right click on
the folder and select Share, then enter the e-mail address at the bottom
of the window. Don't forget to select Share and Send (the blue button)
when you send.
This entire project is worth 30 points. You'll receive 10 points for each
completed document. Make sure that your e-mail arrives before you leave class! Late work deductions will be applied to your grade.
