Your assignment is to organize a charity event. You can be as creative as you want here. Here are conditions of your assignment:
You must use at least two programs, one of which must be a Windows program such as Word, WordPad, or Paint.
Describe the specifics of the event including date, time, location, charity event, and organization in a 1-2 page flyer. Also, include some sort of history or explanation for the purpose of the event.
Include as many graphics (such as Clip Art) in your file as you like. To insert graphics into WordPad:
Create the graphic and save the file. Then choose Insert > Object. Select "Create From File" and browse for the Paint document you created. Then click OK.
OR
Choose Insert > Object. Select "Create New" and select "Object Type," such as Microsoft Clip Gallery. Then click OK.
Format text (size, color, alignment on page, etc.) to help beautify the document.
If you are not including a file for the second program, include proof (screen prints and descriptions) that you utilized the third program to organize your charity event. For example, if you used the Calculator, send screen prints in a file with explanations of what you did and how it relates to your event.
This event should be completely fictitious. Use your imagination and be creative, but most importantly, take advantage of various Windows programs and their capabilities to help you create the event.
If you are going to use pre-made graphics, make sure there are no copyright restrictions. Microsoft Clip Art is your safest bet.
Make sure your work incorporates all five conditions listed above.
The directions are very clear. With what do you need help? Do you have some specific questions??
To organize a charity event and meet the conditions of the assignment, we can follow these steps:
1. Choose the charity and create a purpose statement: First, decide on the charity organization that the event will support. For this example, let's choose an animal shelter called "Paws for Cause." Create a purpose statement that briefly explains the goals of the event, such as "Helping homeless animals find loving homes."
2. Determine the date, time, and location: Choose a suitable date, time, and location for the event. For instance, let's set the date on Saturday, December 15th, from 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM. The location could be a nearby park or community center.
3. Create a 1-2 page flyer: Open a Windows program like Microsoft Word to create the flyer. Choose a template that suits your vision or start with a blank document. Use a catchy title, like "Paws for Cause - Save a Life Today!" and include the date, time, and location at the top of the page.
4. Explain the purpose and history: Write a brief paragraph that explains the purpose and history of the event. Include information about Paws for Cause and how they have been helping animals in need. For example, "Paws for Cause is a non-profit organization dedicated to rescuing and rehabilitating stray animals. Over the past decade, we have found loving homes for thousands of furry friends and provided them with a second chance at life."
5. Insert graphics: To insert graphics into your document, follow the given instructions for WordPad or Microsoft Word. You can use clip art from the Microsoft Clip Gallery to decorate the flyer. Choose appropriate images of animals, people interacting with animals, or any other relevant visuals that convey the message of the event.
6. Format text: Use different formatting options to make the flyer visually appealing. Experiment with font styles, sizes, and colors to highlight important information. Make sure the text is aligned properly on the page and is easy to read. Consider using bullet points or numbered lists for key details such as event highlights, activities, or special guests.
7. Utilize the second program: As part of the assignment, we need to use a second program apart from WordPad or Word. Let's use a program like Paint to create a poster that can be displayed at the event. Open Paint and design a poster that includes prominent details like the event's name, date, time, and location. Add catchy slogans or colorful designs to grab people's attention. Save the poster as a separate file.
8. Document the use of a third program: In addition to the two programs we've already used, we need to utilize a third program to organize the event. Let's say we use the Calculator program. Take screenshots of the Calculator window and describe how it was used to manage budget calculations for the charity event. Explain any calculations made, such as estimating expenses or tallying donations.
9. Proofread and finalize: Review the flyer, poster, and documentation, ensuring there are no grammatical or spelling errors. Check that all images, text, and formatting are in place. Make any necessary adjustments before considering the project complete.
By following these steps, you will have organized a fictitious charity event using Windows programs while meeting all the conditions of the assignment.
