TEC+546+Module+3+Assignment

** TEC546- Module 3 **  **//ABSTRACT//** Students were taught the parts of a personal-business letter and formatting instructions using block style. The students were given a pre-test in order to determine their knowledge of identifying basic letter parts. During this lesson, students used Microsoft Word 2010 to format personal business letters. This lesson addressed the state standard of creating, formatting, and editing personal-business letters in block style. Keyboarding skills was the prerequisite requirement for this lesson. For this lesson, I needed a computer, word processing software, LCD projector, Promethean Board, and illustration of a personal-business letter using block style. Students were given a written pre-test (see Personal-Business Letter Pre-Test) to determine what they already knew about letters. This test consisted of a personal-business letter in block style asking students to identify the basic parts. The pre-test consisted of ten questions. After review of the pre-test results, students were given a personal-business letter for practice in formatting and editing. Students typed information for personal-business letters using block format. On the next day, students were given another personal-business letter to format using block style. On day three, students were given the post-test (see Personal-Business Letter Post-Test). The post-test was an unarranged letter instructing the students to type the information using block style. The results of the pre-test indicate that students did not have a satisfactory knowledge of identifying and formatting personal-business letters. I had 24 students in this class. Using a scale of 100%, the highest score on the pre-test was 90 and the lowest was 20. Using a scale of 100%, the highest score on the post-test was 100 and the lowest was 40. On the pre-test, 58% of the students scored 70 or above. On the post-test, 88% of the students scored 70 or above. See results below. In conclusion, I am very pleased with the results. The students showed significant improvement in their scores from the pre-test to the post-test. The students that scored below 70 on the post-test were given remediation and will be retested.
