(If
you type the a. to begin the first
sentence, the computer will automatically letter each one as you go.) Don’t
forget to use quotation marks (Left of the Enter key)
a. Little Red Riding Hood said, “I am bruised all over from that bed.”
b. The giant said, “Grandmother, what big eyes you have!”
c. The princess said, “Not by the hair of my chinny chin chin.”
d. The fairy godmother said, “Fe Fi Fo Fum. I smell the blood of an
Englishman.”
e. The little pig said, “Someone’s been sleeping in my bed.”
f.

and paste. (To drag, select words to move, left click on it and HOLD it down
while dragging the words to a new location.)
6. Select the whole block of quotes.
Go To Format – Paragraph. In the
middle of the window, find LINE SPACING.
Hit the down arrow, and click on Double. There is also a Line Spacing Icon on the row
of buttons. Can you find it?
7. Add a piece of clip art to illustrate each one of the fairytales. Insert the clipart next to the appropriate
fairytale text in either the right or left margin. The pictures will have to be sized
smaller. You must remember to “text
doggie” on “behind text” from the picture toolbar or you won’t be able to move
the picture after inserting it. Using “Behind Text” means the picture will not
disrupt the writing.
