This section contains various Appleworks wordprocessing templates to be
used across the curriculum in all grades. Before using the templates
read the helpful tips at the below links.
IMPORTANT FOR TEACHERS AND STUDENTS
- Templates can be opened by students from any school computer with
internet access. When a student clicks on a template, he/she actually
opens a copy of the template, enters text into it and saves it under
his/her own name in the desktop Student Folder.
- When you first click on the link some computers will open a
window that says "Unhandled File Type." Click on the "Save File
As" box, then save the file to the Desktop under whatever name you
want. OPEN APPLEWORKS BEFORE YOU OPEN THE FILE. THEN USE APPLEWORKS TO
OPEN THE FILE. If you try to open the file first you may get a lot of
scrambled code instead of the file.
- The fields that are a standard part of the template cannot be easily moved or deleted by the student.
- Students should enter personal information such as their name and
grade where indicated. They should not erase the form titles such as
"Name:" but type their information after the colon.
- In response sections where "Type text here" occurs, the student should delete "Type text here" and type in their answer.
- If you have difficulties with a template please e-mail Mr. Colon, name the template and describe the problem you had.
- Most templates use standard Times New Roman, 12 point font, with double spacing to facilitate editing.
- If you want to modify a template for a specific lesson, you can
create your own template in Appleworks. Consult Appleworks Help, the
below tutorial, or contact Mr. Colon for help.
