Book Page Design
February 25 and March 3 Writing Lab Assignment (20 points)
You will have today and next time to design a "Lucy Flake" page for a book I'm hoping to publish. Use what you've learned about alignment, repetition, contrast, and proximity to create a page that's visually attractive and easy to read.
1. Open a Word document, go to File, Page Setup, and put in the following page dimensions: Top (1"); Left (2.05"); Bottom (1"); and Right (2.05").
2. Decide what fonts you're going to use; create a heading that reads Lucy Flake.
3. Insert visuals/photographs of Lucy, Prudence, and Will. Since the visual of Lucy is big, you should crop it (perhaps only keep her head and shoulders).
4. Create captions for the pictures.
5. Using proximity," include the following information on the page: birth/death/marriage dates, number of children.
6. Decide how to present the information about Will Flake--text box? caption?.
7. Extra Credit: Create a small map of Beaver, Utah and Snowflake, AZ so the reader can quickly see where Lucy lived.

Book Chats
During Term 3, you should read 200 pages on your own. For each 50 pages that you finish, come to me to do a "book chat" for 10 points. During the book chat, I'll randomly open the book to the section you've just read and ask you to tell me what's happening at that point in the book.
