Open

Open Your File

Go to your Documents folder and open your Types of Messages document.

When you finish your storyboard, include “storyboard” and its purpose in your chart.

Complete all three columns:

  • The form of message (a sign, picture, symbol, etc.)
  • The message it is giving to the reader
  • The purpose of the message (explaining something, telling how to do something, asking something)

Here Is How to Record Your Answers

Follow these instructions to record your answers in the Types of Messages chart:


  • Open your table from your desktop.
  • Click your cursor in the first column and add information about the form.
  • Click in the next column to type the message.
  • Click in the last column to type the purpose.
  • When finished, save your document by clicking “Save As”. Use the same title, and save to your desktop again. If you receive a pop-up message on your computer asking if you want to replace the document with another with the same name, click “Yes” so your new information is saved.
