Standard in Kid Friendly Language
I can make documents that have pictures or clip art.
I can make add pictures to my word processing documents.
I can resize pictures and maintain the correct proportion in the picture.
I can use copy, paste and undo while I create.
I use one font for my writing, and only one or two other fonts for special effects (titles, captions, inserts).
I use design elements.
- text is a dark color and easy to read
- background colors are not distracting
- items are grouped and aligned in a pleasing manner
- avoid using center alignment, or writing with all capitals unless I have a specific purpose for doing so.
