Write a discussion paper on cyberbullyingToday, in Microsoft® Word, you will create an informative or explanatory piece of writing to increase public awareness on cyberbullying in a brochure format. Include columns, text, images, captions, and APA references (footnotes) in your brochure.
Open Microsoft Word by clicking on your Start button located in the lower left corner of the screen. Save and name the document in the Introduction to CA Unit 2 folder. Name the document: Cyberbullying.
Before starting your brochure, change the orientation of the document from portrait to landscape, follow these directions:
Click on the Page Layout tab, and in the Page Layout ribbon select the Orientation drop-down menu.
In the menu, select Landscape.
Type your informative or explanatory piece of writing about cyberbullying in three columns. Refer to your search log that you created during Lesson 5 to help you during the writing process. To create columns and column headings in a document, follow these directions:
Click on the Page Layout tab, and in the Page Layout ribbon select the Column drop-down menu.
In the menu, select More Columns. In the Columns window, in the Number of columns window, use the up arrow to select 3 columns. When you are finished, click on the OK button.
To see the column settings, click on the View tab, and in the View ribbon, select Ruler if you don’t already see them in your document.
To create headings, first type the words.
Position your cursor at the end of the first word, and then click on the Page Layout tab.
In the ribbon, select the Breaks drop-down menu. In the menu, select Column. This will move the word setting to the next column and insert a column break.
Repeat the directions for the other headings in your brochure.
It is always important to cite your sources. In a document, you can cite sources by inserting a footnote. To insert a footnote to properly cite your sources, follow these directions:
To insert a footnote, click on the References tab.
Wherever your cursor is in the document, that’s where the number marker will be inserted. In the References ribbon, click on the Insert Footnote button.
Now your cursor is located at the bottom of the page, next to the number marker that was inserted in the document. Now you can type your footnote.
When you are finished, use the mouse to right-click on the footnote.
In the menu, select Go to Footnote.
Now your cursor is back in the main body of text, so you can continue working.
Include a visual aid as one of your supporting details. You can do this byusing the Online Pictures button available in the Insert ribbon to search for an image. Alternatively, you can insert an image that is already saved on your computer using the Pictures button in the Insert ribbon. The image should be relevant to the information you are discussing in your writing.
To relate images to the text, you can insert a caption. Follow these directions:
To add a caption in a document, first select the object you would like to add a caption to, then click on the References tab.
In the References ribbon, click on the Insert Caption button.
The Caption window will open. In the Label drop-down menu, you can select a label appropriate for the object in the document you are adding the caption to. For example, this could be for a figure, equation, or table. Captions in textbooks typically have numbers associated with the images or figures for navigation purposes.
When you are finished, click on the OK button.
Add relevant text in the caption window. When you are finished, click on the OK button.
Now a caption is inserted in your document. If you need to make revisions, you can quickly apply edits in the document.
You are encouraged to utilize formatting options learned during this unit to enhance your final product.
