Subject : English
Unit : Story
Time : 80 minutes
INTRODUCTION
The teacher is going to teach a lesson on “Let’s Build up a Story” by using MS Word. When we teach students they always pay their attention on very attractive and creative lessons. Although their computer knowledge is high. So the teacher doesn’t want to explain the very simple things about MS Word. They can easily open MS Word and start their typing tasks accurately.
Teacher wants students to build up a small story by using MS Word in computer.
Keep a notebook. To R. V. Cassel, notebooks are “incubators,” a place to begin with overheard conversation, expressive phrases, images, ideas, and interpretations on the world around you.
· Write on a regular, daily basis.
Sit down and compose sentences for a couple of hours every day — even if you don’t feel like it.
· Collect stories from everyone you meet.
Keep the amazing, the unusual, the strange, and the irrational stories you hear and use them for your own purposes. Study them for the underlying meaning and apply them to your understanding of the human condition.
Point of view is the narration of the story from the perspective of first, second, or third person. As a writer, you need to determine who is going to tell the story and how much information is available for the narrator to reveal in the short story. The narrator can be directly involved in the action subjectively, or the narrator might only report the action objectively.
As the first step, teacher uses a projector to display some sentences and advises students to type those sentences on their computers using MS Word 2007.
01. Fisherman went out upon the sea.
02. Threw his nets into the water.
03. The wind blew from the land he caught nothing.
04. The fish came in from the deep.
05. Swam into the meshes of his nets.
06. He went out upon the sea.
07. He tugged at the thin ropes.
08. Nearer came the circle of flat corks.
09. Net rose at last to the top of the water.
10. Her hair was as a wet fleece of gold.
11. He tugged at the coarse ropes till, like lines of blue enamel round.
12. Her body was as white ivory.
13. Her tail was of silver and pearl.
14. The cold waves dashed over her cold breasts.
15. Her ears and her lips were like sea-coral. The cold waves dashed over her cold breasts, and the salt glistened.
POSSIBILITIES THAT MS WORD CAN OFFER
SPELLING & GRAMMAR
When typing sentences it is very important that we need to check our spelling and grammar mistakes. It is good practice to check the spelling and grammar mistakes before you submitting the story or any other types of documents. Teacher gives the path to do this task.
On the Review tab è select Spelling & Grammar button Or F7 key (F7 Function key)
Teacher describe to the students that they don’t needed to bother when tying sentences if the words are displayed a Red underline or Green underline in some words. The red words underlined indicate the word wrong or there’s a spelling mistake. If the words are underline green underline, it indicates that there is a grammar mistake in the document
Note: We always use UK dictonary( British ) in our day to day writing in MS Word application, but spelling & grammar check will indicate USA dictonary (US). Because of that we can ignore some words if we are sure that word is correct according to US dictonary.
E.x. Colour (UK English) and Color (US English)
SYNONYMS

Then right click on the word “Marvel”, select Synonyms from the drop down short cut menu.

JUSTIFY
Teacher explains In typesetting, justification (can also be referred to as 'full justification') is the typographic alignment setting of text or images within a Column, Paragraphs or "measure" to align along both the left and right margin. Text set this way is said to be "justified".
In justified text, the spaces between words, and, to a lesser extent, between glyphs or letters (kerning), are stretched or sometimes compressed in order to make the text align with both the left and right margins. When using justification, it is customary to treat the last line of a paragraph separately by left or right aligning it, depending on the language direction.
First select the paragraph that you want to justify ž In the Home tab go to Paragraph section ž click on Justify tool
HEADER & FOOTER
Teacher instructs students to insert header and footers to their typed word document as follows.
Headers and footers are those little identifiers that run across the top and bottom of your document, providing important background information about it. They include such things as page numbers, dates, book or chapter titles, and author name.
These small signposts improve the usability of your document, and they make it look professional.
