KEY DEFINITIONS Artistic Effects: Pre-built transformations that can make an image look like a sketch, a painting, a photocopy, etc. Crop: A tool used to remove the outer section of an image in order to improve image framing or to highlight the subject of the image. Online Pictures: Pictures, images, and other graphical elements that can be inserted into documents from the Internet. Picture Effects: Provide visual formatting options that go beyond the few preset picture styles, giving greater control over borders, shadows, reflections, and glows. KEY DEFINITIONS Define key terms that students do not understand. Many terms are better explained using a brief demonstration rather than giving an abstract definition.

6 KEY DEFINITIONS (continued)

In-class Practice Do Challenge Lab and aim for the best possible time. The lab can be attempted multiple times, with the task set changing each time. Let me know if you need help on a task. OPTIONAL SLIDE: PRACTICE Use this slide if you want students to spend time during class completing the labs. Possible ways of using the labs include: Complete the Skills lab in class as a group (everyone working together on the same task at the same time). Tasks are presented in the same order for everyone, allowing students to follow along with the teacher. Following the teacher demonstration, students can restart the lab to complete any tasks not passed off. Give students time to work on the Challenge lab during class. Provide enough time for students to improve their times by working through the lab multiple times. If desired, give students a target time to beat, or recognize the fastest times at the end of the practice session. Time permitting, students can work through the Applied lab(s) instead of doing them as homework.

Class Discussion How can you effectively use graphics in your more creative documents? Which text wrap settings are typically the most appropriate for images inserted into a document? How can picture styles enhance or detract from the quality of your documents? CLASS DISCUSSION Possible answers to the discussion questions include the following: Use of graphics: Don’t overuse images in your document; too many images can make your document cluttered and hard to read. Consider using one picture as the main focus. Use other, smaller images to support the main focus or to highlight details. Text Wrap Settings: Choose text wrap settings that go well with the images in your document; make sure that your document is readable and visually appealing. Unless the image is mostly transparent, do not use the Behind Text option. The most commonly used text wrap settings are Square and Tight. Picture Styles: Picture Styles provide extensive visual formatting options for images, including borders, shadows, and reflections. If too many Picture Styles are applied within the same document, the document will look unprofessional.

Class Activities Open a blank document and insert SmartArt graphics: Visually represent a sequential list of tasks Illustrate a job application process Use a hierarchy graphic to describe an organizational structure Insert a Pie Chart that displays the percentage of sections in the course you have completed. Open artExhibit.docx and experiment with different picture effects on the Picture Tools Format tab. CLASS ACTIVITIES Time permitting, assign students to participate in one or more of these classroom activities. Because the labs do not simulate SmartArt graphics, encourage students to become familiar with this feature. Encourage students to become familiar with the Chart feature. Encourage students to become familiar with picture effects that are not supported by the labs.

Summary Default In Line with Text option for inserted images Text Wrap options Inserting shapes, SmartArt, charts, symbols, and dates Word image editing tools Applying picture styles and effects OPTIONAL SLIDE: SUMMARY Use this slide to highlight some of the more important points covered during class. By default, pictures are inserted In Line with Text, which means text will not wrap around the image. Text Wrap options include Square, Tight, Through, Top and Bottom, Behind Text, and In Front of Text. In addition to pictures, Word allows you to insert shapes, SmartArt, charts, symbols, dates, and many other elements. Image editing tools allow you to crop, resize, make color corrections, and apply artistic effects and styles to images within a document. Apply picture styles and effects consistently and professionally.
