Final Project 1: Letter

 

Many situations in life will require you to write letters. Think of a recent retail or restaurant experience you have had and compose a well-written, properly formatted letter about a product you purchased or the customer service you received. Employees often receive bonuses as an incentive for creating a positive customer experience. If your experience was negative or if you had trouble with the product, companies interested in retaining your business appreciate constructive criticism and occasionally offer a solution.

1. Research company mailing information using the Internet.
   
   
2. Be creative but also use a business tone in your writing.
   
   
3. Include all parts of a personal business letter.
   
   
4. Apply full-block-style layout and formatting to your letter.
   
   
5. Spell check, proofread, and preview the document to ensure that it is error-free and ready to mail.
   
   
6. Save your document as “Letter” in your INF1030: WP1: Final Project folder.

Final Project 2: Career Connections Report

 

At this stage in your life, you may be starting to think about your future and possible career paths you may wish to take. Knowing what you are good at and what you are interested in will go a long way to helping you make career decisions. As you gain more life experience and develop new skills, you will find yourself starting to reassess your career decisions.

 

Explore self-assessment tools on the ALIS Web site to identify your values, skills, interests, and beliefs and begin making connections to potential career pathways that best suit you. Take some time now to go to http://www.alis.alberta.ca. In the tab for High School Students at the top of the Web site, you will find Career Planning Tools. From the Self-Assessment Tools menu, create an inventory of your personal skills and attributes, and match them with appropriate career options. Spend some time exploring this Web site; there are a number of activities that will guide you on your career path.

 

1. Complete at least three of the ALIS Self-Assessment Tools (http://www.alis.alberta.ca).
   
   
2. Use the interest inventory work page as a guide to creating your personal inventory.
   
   
3.  Search the ALIS site for Occupational Profiles that match your personal inventory.
   
   
4. Choose three careers that interest you.
   
   
5. Create a multi-page report that covers the following topics:
   
   
   1. What you discovered about yourself from the self-assessments
      
      
   2. Your careers of interest and brief descriptions of them
      
      
   3. How your personal inventory connects to your career choices — why are you interested in or suited to these careers?
      
      
   4. What do you see as positive aspects of these careers. Are there negative aspects?

Use a professional tone and clear communication in your writing. Use the following layout and formatting details for your report:

• Margins: 1‚Äù top and bottom; 1.25‚Äù left and right
• Line spacing: 1.5 or 2
• Appropriate font type and size
• Use titles and headings
• Include page numbering

6. Spelling and grammar check, proofread, and preview your report to ensure it is error-free.
   
   
7. Save as “Report” in your INF1030: WP1: Final Project folder.

Final Project 3: Title Page

 

A title page can engage your audience, provide important information, and give your report a finished look.

1. Create a title page for your Career Connection Report that
   
   
   • uses appealing layout and formatting ¬†
     
     
   • uses WordArt and graphics
     
     
   • includes relevant information
     
     
2. Proofread and preview your title page to ensure that it is error-free.
   
   
3. Save as “Title Page” in your INF1030: WP1: Final Project folder.

Final Project 4: Table

 

Tables communicate a lot of information in a visual format that's easy to read. In your daily life, you might already use tables, such as a school timetable or a schedule for your personal life on which you might keep track of your workdays and sports practices. In this part of your final assignment, you will create a table of your high school timetable or personal schedule.

 

Your table may look like the following example and must include

• merged cells
• shading

TIMETABLE for [Student’s Name]
Period 1	8:40 – 10:05	English 10-1	Mr. Frimprong

Period 3	12:27 – 1:53	Financial Management	Mrs. Thain
Period 4	2:01 – 3:26	Science 10	Mr. Lamoureux
