Lesson Plan
You might want to use this lesson at the end of the day, as a center activity for unwinding, or as a take-home assignment. Explain that everyone is going to make a silly, spooky story by answering a few questions. Then, provide students with the following instructions:
Note: Before beginning this lesson, be sure to save the Spooky Story template on the network, each student's computer, a disk, or in another place that's accessible to all students.
Boo! A silly spooky story has emerged from thin air! Students now can print their stories and/or share them with their classmates.
Remind students to widen a column if they cannot see an entire answer. To widen a column, double-click the small line between the letters at the top of two columns. (For example, to widen column B, double-click the line between the letters B and C.)
This lesson can be used simply as a fun review of Excel navigation skills, or extended as students create their own adlib stories. See the Education World techtorial Create an Adlib Story with Excel for more information.
