Worksheet 3:- Creating a Book Review.
Open MS Publisher and select a Blank Full Sheet. (See Worksheet 1 steps 1-2)
Select WordArt and draw a rectangle on the top of your blank sheet.
Type in the title of your book, and change the font and Shape of your text. I have used the Wave Pattern and Font Baskerville Old Face. Don’t forget to select so the text will stretch to fit the rectangle.
Insert a piece of clipart suitable for the book you are reviewing. You can also insert a scanned image from the cover of the book. Your teacher can show you how to scan it in. You then Select Insert menu, Picture, From File.
Resize the Clipart or Scanned Picture, remember not to use the 12, 3, 6 or 9 o’ clock grips, as you will distort the image.
Now draw a text box to fill the remainder of the page. Use the Blue Guide lines as a guide to size.
Change the size of your font now. I’ve used font size 16, and the font Tempus Sans ITC.
You can now type in what you have written out. If at the end you find that you don’t have enough text to fill the page, then highlight it and change the size to a bigger size. If you find that you are running out of space, highlight the text and change the size down to 14 or 12.
Type in ‘By:-’ at the end, press enter and type in your name. Highlight the lines containing your name and By:- and select Centre.
We will now use the Spell Check to see if you have misspelled any words. Go to the Tools menu, then Spelling then Check Spelling.
The computer has spotted a misspelled word, it offers suggestions, select the correct one, and click on change, or if it is spelled correctly, e.g. your name, then click on ignore, and it will go onto the next word misspelled. (The computer only recognises the most common words—so it probably won’t recognise your name.) Continue until your told the spell check is complete.
Draw a rectangle around the page, and apply a Border Art as in Worksheet 2, Steps 10-12.
13. Save you book review, and print it out.
