LAB TWO

1. Introduce yourself to the Outlining tool in Word

1. Open a browser and go to the File Exchange in Blackboard
    
2. Open Outline: Citizen Kane from Blackboard (don't ask to Save) and follow its directions. Directions from the first lab for getting a file are repeated below.  Remember that you need to open it in Word.
    
   • check that the correct view is showing -- the fourth button at the lower right of the window should be selected

2. Create your own outline about your personal movie selection

1. Start a new, blank document in Word, and change to the Outline view by clicking the fourth button at the lower right of the window.  Using Save As, save the new document in Word 2003 format on the Desktop (not in My Documents) or on your flashdrive as outline_yourlastname.doc.
    
2. Begin typing the large divisions of your chosen film.  To show subdivisions of any section, type it in first.  Once any line is entered, you can demote it or promote it to a lower or higher level.

• don't get caught giving too much detail -- start with the broad segments of the whole movie (by location?  by time?  by major flashbacks?), then expand with the smaller segments within those larger ones
   
• create the outline to follow how the plot unfolds (not the story), as seen in sequence by the viewer
   
• decide whether you want to use the Outlining tool. If not, just write an outline using regular tabs or indents
   
• do as much as you can – but you can expand and finish it on your own afterwards
   
• if you can't remember character names, search for your movie in the International Movie Database at www.imdb.com
   
• an outline, at least one page long, is due before Tuesday’s class. Please save it in Blackboard with the name Outline: Film Title

3. Give feedback for another student
    
   1. Select a name without a checkmark on the classlist that is available in the room, preferably a classmate you don't already know.  Add a checkmark beside the name.
       
      • if you're doing this from home, pick a review by any student you don't already know
         
      • if you have selected a name and then discover that you can't find a review by that person, choose any other review
         
   2. Find that person's review in the File Exchange in Blackboard and save it in Word 2003 format on the Desktop or on your own flashdrive, with your lastname at the end of the filename
       
   3. Add comments to the review, as we practiced in Lab One and put the new, changed file back in Blackboard with the name Feedback: Review by OriginalWritersLastName.  Please make sure your document is saved in Word 2003 format.
       
      • if needed, check "Using Track Changes" on the course homepage to set up Track Changes
         
      • remember, you will be making specific changes directly in the document, with brief comments in [[square brackets]], and writing a summary at the bottom addressed to the author

4. If you aren’t able to finish your suggestions in the lab, email the document to yourself, finish it on your own before the next class, and add it in Blackboard with the name Feedback: Review by OriginalWritersLastName.
    
   • if Blackboard is giving you trouble, email it as an attachment to the original writer with a copy (CC:) to me
