Review previous lab on Word Processing "LESSON 9-USING MICROSOFT WORD 2002". This can be found at:
My Documents/SSTP_Documentation/IntroPC/INTROPC.doc "LESSON 9-USING MICROSOFT WORD 2002" page 157-177
Read and understand the Microsoft Word functions on Microsoft Word 2000 Editing

2. Assignment: Write a 3+ page research paper about a topic of your choice (save a copy of your paper in your _GST104 Portfolio/6 Word Processing and a copy in your homework folder ). Your paper should contain the major components of a college research paper, see list below. You may use a previous paper you have written, start a paper you are writing this quarter, discuss your use of My Space or just make it up if you are creative and a good writer. The purpose of this exercise is to develop the necessary word processing skills to be proficient in writing college term papers.. You will have to demonstrate your Word skills you learn in this assignment paper and on the next quiz

Save a copy in your portfolio named myresearchpaper.doc:

My Documents/SSTP_Documentation/_CTAP Portfolio Presentation/6 Word Processing/myresearchpaper.doc
Also place a copy of your paper myresearchpaper.doc in your homework folder for this week and be ready for a quiz to demonstrate how you did the formatting.

Paper content and format:

Title page with the title, your name, date, and class (no header or footer)
Text page(s)

At least one footnote
Graphic(s) to illustrate something in your paper, created by you in Microsoft paint, no clip art. This should be inserted in an appropriate place in your text to illustrate an idea, show a map, inject humor about the topic etc.
Header (with your name and paper topic) and a footer (page number in the middle) on all but the title page.

Bibliography page with at least 3 references (You must use an acceptable professional formatting ASA, APA, MLA, etc. Use ASA if you are going to be a Sociology major, APA if Psychology, etc. You can use any sources available, your texts this quarter perhaps. Ask your English teacher are a tutor at the OASIS tutoring center if you need help. One specific requirement for formatting of references for this assignment even if it violates a formatting style is to list references as hanging paragraphs--like a dictionary (ask your instructor if you are unsure about how to do this).

Your paper must be one document including the title page, the body of your paper and the bibliography.

3. Define the Terms with an "*" and improve on definitions of terms you have in your dictionary. Save your definitions in your portfolio and place a copy in your homework folder. Wording should be yours (not just copy and pasted from another source) clear, complete and understandable to someone like your self but not in this class.

Erase all files in your homework folder. Place a copy of all homework, in red above, in your homework folder and bring to next class to place in class homework folder on the transfer drive
