First, let's look at the coloured strips of paper.  They consist of a yummy recipe for chocolate cake.  We will work in pairs and put the strips of paper in order.

Next, we will write the recipe on the Worksheet that I will distribute.

Finally, we will look at the link below to gather ideas on bookmark making

Year 7 it all begins with a plan!

PLAN - Criterion C

1. Resources: Computer, Word 2010, Design Specification, Chosen Design.

2. Now, make a step-by-step plan of what you will do to create your pamphlet using Word 2010   AND estimate how long it will take you.

Example:
    1.  Open Word 2010, 1 minute
    2.  Select Page Layout and change the Orientation to Landscape, 1 minute


Continue on until you have completed all the steps you think you will need and the time that it will take you. (You may open Word 2010 and practice while you are making the plan.)

Finish your step by step plan.

Write a paragraph saying why you think your plan will work. Include the fact that you have done a tutorial and have had experience using Word 2010;-)

Learning objectives: devleop a basic time line and write instructions for making the product/solution.
