A Guide to this Instructor’s Manual:
We have designed this Instructor’s Manual to supplement and enhance your teaching experience through classroom activities and a cohesive chapter summary.
This document is organized chronologically, using the same heading in red that you see in the textbook. Under each heading you will find (in order): Lecture Notes that summarize the section, Figures and Boxes found in the section, if any, Teacher Tips, Classroom Activities, and Lab Activities. Pay special attention to teaching tips, and activities geared towards quizzing your students, enhancing their critical thinking skills, and encouraging experimentation within the software.
In addition to this Instructor’s Manual, our Instructor’s Resources also contain PowerPoint Presentations, Test Banks, and other supplements to aid in your teaching experience.

2. Critical Thinking: Why should someone creating a flyer gather ideas and plan for the printing of the flyer before publishing it?

· Discuss each of the items displayed in Figure 1-1 (e.g., heading, graphic, tear-offs)
· Explain how each item enhances the look of the finished flyer
· Explain that students should change their screen resolution to 1366 x 768, if possible, so that their screen will match the figures in the text as they work through the hands-on steps to start Publisher and create the flyer
· Use Figure 1-2 to illustrate running Publisher
FIGURES and TABLES: Figures—1-1, 1-2
BOXES
1. Yellow Box: For an introduction to Windows and instruction about how to perform basic Windows tasks, refer students to the Office and Windows chapter at the beginning of this book, where they can learn how to resize windows, change screen resolution, create folders, move and rename files, use Windows Help, and much more.
CLASSROOM ACTIVITIES
1. Class Discussion: Ask students to discuss how the various flyer elements draw attention to the information in the flyer.
2. Class Discussion: Many, if not most, students have used other Office programs, such as Word or PowerPoint. Ask students to describe the ways they started other Office programs.
3. Group Activities: Provide examples of flyers or ask students to bring flyer examples to class. Then break students into three or four groups and have each group identify the text elements in the flyer: headline, body copy, bulleted lists, business name, informational text boxes, tag lines, attention getter, and tear-offs. Then have each group evaluate the effectiveness of these text elements based on the guidelines for choosing the words for the text.
4. Critical Thinking: Ask students if they think that the flyer is effective in communicating its message. If yes, why? If no, why not?
5. Quick Quiz:
1. The font and color schemes of a publication support the topic and make the text stand out. True or False? (Answer: True)

BOXES
1. BTW Featured Template Gallery. You may have to wait a few minutes for Publisher to populate the FEATURED template gallery, as the gallery is updated from Microsoft every day.
2. BTW: Templates. Choose a template that suits the purpose of the publication, with headline and graphic placement that attracts your audience. Choose a style that has meaning for the topic.
3. CONSIDER THIS: Does it make any difference which color scheme and font scheme you use? Yes. The choice of an appropriate template, font, and color scheme is determined by the flyer's purpose and intended audience.
4. BTW: Font Schemes. Advise students to choose a font scheme that gives their flyers a consistent, professional appearance and characterizes their subjects. They must make intentional decisions about the font style and type; flyers are more effective with stronger or unusual font schemes.
TEACHER TIP
Students may have used templates to create documents in other Office programs, such as a memo in Word or a slide show presentation in PowerPoint. You may choose to ask students about their experiences using other Office program templates.
