1)   Students can use the online document http://www.smccd.net/accounts/kapp/215/3dom.rtf  .  To study the structure of the Domains and Phyla of life.  You will be required to be able to recognize these names and the characteristics of the various domains, Kingdoms and Phyla.  Use this document to test and quiz yourself.

2)   You the students will be providing the majority of this web site.  I will be taking your information, checking it for errors and loading it onto the web site.  In order to make this easier for me you must follow the following format and procedures.

3)   Students will learn how to download a file form the web.

a.     Click on the following url http://www.smccd.net/accounts/kapp/215/3dom.rtf  

You will get a box asking for a code.  Just click on the Cancel button.  Your computer should automatically download the list.

Scroll down the list and find your name and your assignment.  If your name is under a Phyla like Mei chan then you will be getting information of that Phyla.  If your name is under the kingdom then you will be finding information on that kingdom.  I would like individuals who are working in the same kingdom to submit their materials all in on one document.  This will reduce the formatting time that I will have.

 

 

 

 

 

4)   Students will learn how to make a bulleted list.

The above is a part of the table that you will be working on.  Joshua will be providing the information of what constitutes the Kingdom Eugleonzoa.  Marina and terry will be providing the required information within the rows.

 

This information is going to be bulleted.  Make the information short.  So that It will fit in the box.  You may shrink the font ant that may help.

To make a bulleted, move your cursor in your document to the area where you wish to enter the bullets.  Click on that area to place your cursor their, then click on the bullet icon

5)   Students will learn how to add a bookmark to an electronic document.

A bookmark is just an internal note to your computer of a special item that you request.  If you place a bookmark in your document, this allows you to move from one part of the document to another rapidly using an internal link (we will do this later)

 

Insert a bookmark next to the kingdom or phyla that you are researching.

First move your cursor and click to place your cursor where you want the bookmark.  You will be placing your bookmark between the first and second letter of your kingdom or phyla.

Next  move your cursor to the  work toolbar and click on insert.

A screen will pop up that contains your choices to insert.  In this particular instance you will be choosing bookmark

Put the name of your kingdom or phyla where it says bookmarkname.  Some simple rules for bookmarks.  They cannot have spaces, they do not begin with numbers and they don’t have any weird symbols in them. 

 

I want you to use the phyla or the kingdom or domain names that you were assigned.

 

When you are finished click on the add button and your bookmark will be placed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

6)   Students will learn how to make an external link in a document.

As part of your assignment you are asked to find an external link to a web page that has a picture (and better yet a description) of the specific example that you gave for the information.  In order to do this you will be required to perform a search of the web, to copy the url then to make a link with that URL.

On the left is a picture of part of the screen form the Netscape navigator browser program.  This is a site about the red "algae" the url is located in the Location: bar.  To copy the URL move your cursor over the url then click on Ctrl C  (the Ctrl and the C key at the same time.  This saves a copy of this URL.  You can do the same thing by clicking on the copy key on your tool bar.

Once you have a copy of the URL.  Highlight the text that you want to make a link with.  Next  move your cursor to the  work toolbar and click on insert.

A screen will pop up that contains your choices to insert.  In this particular instance you will be choosing Hyperlink.

Since I highlighted red algae for my link red algae is in the text to display area.  You will want to make sure that you click on the existing file or Web Page Icon.  You can then move the cursor into the "Type the file or Web page name:" box and pres "Ctrl     V" keys at the same time to enter your link.  Click on the OK button (not shown here) and you will have made a link to an external document.  If you have made your link the color of the word you highlighted should change to blue and it should also be underlined.  Like red algae
