Markup Session 1

You should read this page before class and make some choices. We will not go over this page in the recitation.

This recitation is a blended session.

I will demonstrate all of the activities on a PC because the PC version of Word is what most of you will encounter in the business world.

I actually decided to demo it on the Mac because the videos are from the PC perspective. Therefore, if you are a Mac User, you may want to look at the class recordings in Panopto.

If you have missed the classes, and you are a PC User, you should focus on the videos and maybe skip the class recordings. If you are a Mac User, you might start with the class recordings. (They are in Panopto if this session is over.)

This session is geared towards helping you get your project done. The lecture provides the context about why you are doing what you are doing.

Long ago I decided to demonstrate this project using The Children's Life of the Bee, so I will continue this tradition. Dr. Bergquist will teach about document markup using various other book examples in the lecture. You should not turn in our example projects used in our online teaching materials. If you have any question about your book, you should check in with me.

You are going to need to choose a book. If you choose from any of the most recent 1000 books below, you will be assured that no previous student has ever submitted a book from that list. Be sure to understand that it is a violation of the UNC Honor Code to submit any duplicate project file that has been previously completed and submitted in any previous INLS 161 course or recitation. I trust that all students are honorable and will have fun with formatting their own book.

Project Gutenberg Newest Releases Here is a list of the latest 1,000 recent additions. It's kind of fascinating to see what volunteers have been working on over the last six months. Find anything that you like but you should not go for books with fewer that 8 chapters or more than 15 chapters and stay away from oddly formatted text or poetry. You want clean blocks of text; You will not attempt to include any graphics or photos from the book, so you should stay away from books that are mostly graphically in nature. It is okay to choose a book with some photos, but the text format you choose will not have the photos included.

New Macintosh Setup Videos#

The most frustrating part of this project for Mac Users is the setup because the user interface is very different from the PC demonstration. If you are Mac User you should watch this video for set up and not try to follow along with the PC demo in class.

Videos from Previous Class#

In the left side bar is an entire course of video lessons for this project. It would be a good plan to get ahead and try to complete all of these tasks before our final documents class. Then we can focus on getting the difficult parts corrected. You are welcome to use the grade sheet at the top of this page that is number referenced, or you can use the Dr. Bergquist's grade sheet. They are the same, but mine is laid out more to my teaching style.
