Lesson Plans

Introduction

Preparing to teach courses on Microsoft Office 2010 for the first time can be a challenge requiring careful planning and organization.
The Microsoft IT Academy provides these lesson plans to help you save time, skillfully manage the teaching environment and success-
fully communicate the intended lesson.

The lesson plans are flexible and have been created in a concise format of small teachable units to allow you to use them with any
textbook. To support a textbook independent teaching style, each lesson plan contains suggested demonstrations and explanations.

The lesson plans have been developed to be independent of a predefined lesson schedule. Whether the course is taught in either
a semester or quarter term format, we suggest the following class format: a 60 minute lesson lecture followed by a 120 minute lab
(hands-on performance) session. This model is recommended in order to increase student performance and enhance the knowledge
and skills gained through active participation in the course.

Each Lesson Plan Includes:

Learning Goals for each lesson.
Learning Objectives that may be observed throughout the lesson.
Class/lab Setup suggestions to help you prepare the classroom each day.
Lecture Outline that detail what to present in each class.
Highlighted Cautions strategically placed throughout the lesson plan that alert you to common issues students may experience.
Discussion Questions that encourage class participation.
Tech Tips to remind you of items that may require explanation.
Alternative Methods for task completion that explain short cuts.
Hot Keys, or keyboard shortcuts, are introduced in the lesson plan to be used at your discretion.
Discussion questions at the conclusion of each teachable unit engage students and promote critical thinking.
Quick Quiz of multiple choice and true/false type questions.
Lesson Projects are provided that directly connect the student with the materials that were provided in the lesson. The projects
may be used independent of a textbook or as an assessment to determine skill mastery. To simplify the scoring process, an anno-
tated answer key for each project is included to adequately determine if the learning objective was accomplished through process
of lecture and activity.
Multimedia resources at the end of each unit pull together a wide variety of online demos, videos, tutorials, quizzes, and E-Learn-
ing resources all available for classroom use at no charge through your IT Academy membership. These resources can be used in
class or by students as self paced instruction and lesson reinforcement outside of class.

Lesson 1: Understanding Learning Goals // The goal of this lesson is for students to successfully
the Word Window and explore and describe the Word window and to create a new document.
Creating a New The student will save the document and properly exit the program.
Document

Learning Objectives On completion of this lesson, students will be able to do the following:
• Successfully start Microsoft Office Word 2010 using a variety of methods.
• Explore the Word window and identify various features in the window.
• Navigate the Word window.
• Use the Ribbons in Word.

Lesson Introduction Describe the importance of productivity software and word processing in
the workplace and how Microsoft Word 2010 can increase productivity.
Completed word processing projects such as letters, memos, newsletters,
or flyers may be helpful to use as examples.

Starting Word Instructors should demonstrate to students the following methods for

starting Word:

1. Start Word using the Windows Start button. (Explain that this is the
most common method.) Microsoft Word 2010 may then be located
under the programs grouping.

2. Start Word using the desktop shortcut. If this option is not available,
demonstrate how to create the desktop shortcut.

3. Start Word using the Most Frequently Used Programs list on the left
side of the Start menu.

Alternative Methods:

4. Start Word by right-clicking a Word document and left-clicking Open.
5. Start Word by double-clicking a document that was created in Word.

Discussion Question:

Ask students which method they prefer. After a brief discussion, explain
the benefits of using each method. Examples of possible explanations are
listed below.

Method 2: The Word program window opens, displaying a blank docu-
ment so that the user can begin working immediately.
This method is the quickest way to open the Word program window and
immediately begin working in a blank document. The shortcut is always
available on the desktop for quick and easy access to Word.

Method 4: Right-click a Word document and left-click Open.
This method starts Word and opens a specific document. It eliminates
extra steps that must be taken after opening the Word window to open a
document that was previously created in Word.

blank document window.
• Ask students to double-click a location of their choice and type in their

name.
• Explain that Click and Type is not available in every location.

CAUTION
If a mistake is made, use the Undo Typing button on the Quick Ac-
cess Toolbar. If students click in the wrong location, have them choose a new

You are employed as the word processing specialist in a local business. Your
first order of business is to introduce office support staff to the new features
of Word 2010. To prepare for the class, you need to practice everything that
you intend to demonstrate to the office staff. Begin by opening the Word
2010 program using the preferred method discussed in class. Take a mo-
ment to navigate all of the tabs allowing the individual Ribbon groupings
to display. Review each grouping to familiarize yourself with the Ribbons in
preparation for staff questions.

In a new document, prepare your documentation by typing in the head-
