Comparative Essay
"Comparing Animal Habitats"
Over the next several weeks, students will be working on creating a comparative essay. Using graphics tools, students
will create a picture and then import it into a word processing document. Then they will type in facts about the topic and learn to highlight the text to change
the font, size, and color. Students will use WordArt to type a title and they will learn how to save their work as well as use the print preview feature.
