Category: Word Lessons

Student Objectives:Flyer
Using a word processing program, students will be able to create a flyer announcing a food or clothing drive sponsored by a local organization.

  • Follow directions in preparing a word processed document
  • Change font style, justification, and insert graphics into a document
  • Show creativity in selecting graphics for a document

Instructions:
Your FBLA chapter has decided to sponsor a winter coat and blanket drive for low-income community residents as a Christmas service project. Since you are on the Publicity Committee, it is your responsibility to create a one-page flyer to give to the teachers in the district and to hang on community bulletin boards. The Publicity Committee Chair has provided you with the following directions to use in preparing the flyer:

  • Line 1: Help Warm a Life (36-point Arial Black bold centered)
  • Line 2: Donate a Winter Coat or Blanket (24-point Arial centered)
  • Line 3: (Insert and center an appropriate graphic from the Microsoft ClipArt Gallery)
  • Line 4: Bring your donation to the Business Classroom (18-point Arial Narrow centered)
  • Line 5: on Friday, December 15 (18-point Arial Narrow centered)
  • Line 7: FBLA will distribute all items to needy families during the Christmas season (14-point Arial Narrow centered)
  • Line 8: Share the warmth of the holidays! (24-point Arial italic centered)

Space out the document properly so that the text is centered vertically on the page. Include an FBLA logo somewhere on the page (perhaps on the line with FBLA on it). You should be able to find the logo on the internet.

Add a border to outline the page of your flyer. Change the font color on the first line to something that matches your graphics theme.

What you should customize:

  • Organization name
  • What to donate to help a cause (could also be for the local animal shelter)
  • Slogans – “Help Warm a Life”, “Share the warmth of the holidays!”
  • Date & Times
  • Colors and graphics
  • Text Style & Sizes
