PART 2… Now that you have your story you need to use formatting techniques to add visual interest.

Insert 3 clipart pics into the document using textwrapping. Images can replace words if

they make sense in the story.

Create a border around the whole page or use a background image

o The image must relate to your story, it can be a custom watermark or an image

placed behind text and recolored so that it doesn’t take away from the story.

(wash out)

Change the font of certain key words in your story for emphasis. Use bold and

underlining too.

Extra credit for using the INSERT SHAPES menu or using a callout.
