4) get a PURPLE: Office Applications: Volume 1 textbook from the 3rd shelf in the back bookcase.

Please notice how nice and neat the room looks. I have picked up all textbooks and placed them in their proper location. I expect you to put your Purple textbook back in the back bookcase, standing up (like they are right now) all nice and neat at the end of the period once you are finished. DO NOT LEAVE TEXTBOOKS AT YOUR COMPUTER SEAT ANY MORE! THANK YOU.

5) In the purple textbook, please complete page 11: "Sell an Automobile" Flyer. Follow the directions on the page and complete the exercise as the information tells you to do.
6) once you complete the exercise be sure to complete the reflection by POSTING TO YOUR BLOG.

title your post: Sell an Automobile-Reflection
then answer the questions it tells you to answer in the book by typing your answers on your blog post. Notice the reflection is 8 points of the total grade.

PRINT OUT YOUR FLYER IN BLACK AND WHITE AND PUT IT IN THE 4TH PERIOD TURN IN BOX ONCE YOU ARE DONE.

7) If you finish early and you still have time left in class, please go in to the DDC testing center software and continue to practice for the test. I suggest taking a Training Exam, Expert, Word. (the expert should really help you prepare for the core exam)

Have a great day. Do great work while I am gone.
Thanks.

Hey guys.
Sorry I am not here for you today, but Madison (my daughter) is running a fever and I can't take her to daycare. I hope to be back tomorrow.

Please don't play on the Internet and play games. I would really like for you all to complete the assignment I have listed here. No one completed the assignment I made yesterday, because I didn't get any print outs. Please be sure and complete what I have left here for you to do TODAY.


Today's Activities:
1) Please print out this document and read over it. MOS Certification Test taking tips
Click on the link and then print it out. It gives you some good test taking tips for the Word MOS test. Once you print it, put your name on it and put it in the 4th period turn in box.

2) I would like for everyone (no matter where you are I would like for you to take the following practice test)
* Training Test - Expert - Word
Print out your results once you are finished.
Push yourself to try and finish it before the end of the period.
Because you only have 45 minutes to take the real thing.

3) If you get the training test, listed in #2 above completed, and you still have time in class, please take the Testing Exam - Core - Word test and print out your results once you are finished.

I will give you major bonus points if you complete all of this TODAY, BY THE END OF THE PERIOD.

Study hard please. I want everyone to pass and get certified. You need to be scoring at least a 93% on the Testing Exams for me to comfortable about you taking the exam. So really try and study the questions. Make notes if you think that will help.

Have a great day.
