Family Emergency Evacuation Kit

If the hurricane happened in memphis, my family and I would do alot of things before and after it hit. The first thing we would do is watch the news to see when exactly the hurricane will hit. Then when we find out we would pack up and leave days before. The only thing I would I would treasure is my life and my family. But the things I would I bring with me that I truely would need would be bottled water, food, and clothing. The items I would miss would only be material things such as my bed, stereo, t.v., etc. that I could get later in life. I don't think there would be any information that my family would need to replace because it would be with us. Things such as pictures, birth certificates, etc. would be packed with everything else. But if everything was lost in the storm, I don't think I would know where and how to start. I think I would just have to go and live in a shelter because I can't stay with any other family member. Why? Because sometimes I have my little mood and don't want to be around folks so I just go somewhere where I can calm down such as my room, but if I lived with someone I couldn't do that so to avoid all that I just would stay in a shelter until I can get back on my feet which would be in no time.

Format Guides: Tables

Although you will use a word processing feature to create tables, you will need these guidelines for making your tables attractive and easy to read.

Parts of a Table

A table is an arrangement of data (words and/or numbers) in rows and columns. Columns are labeled alphabetically from left to right; rows are labeled numerically from top to bottom. Tables range in complexity from those with only two columns and a title to those with several columns and special features. The tables in this unit are limited to those with the following parts:

  • Main title (bold, ALL CAPS, centered in first row or placed above the gridlines of the table).
  • Secondary title (bold, capital and lowercase letters, centered in second row or placed a DS below the main title above the gridlines).
  • Column headings (bold, centered over the column).
  • Body (data entries).
  • Source note (bottom-left in last row or may be placed beneath the gridlines of the table, DS above and below source note).
  • Gridlines ( may be hidden)*

Table Format Features

The following features (illustrated on p. 88) can be used to make your table attractive and easy to read.

Vertical placement. A table may be centered vertically (equal top and bottom margins), or it may begin 2" from the top edge of the page.

Horizontal placement. Tables are most attractive when centered horizontally (side to side) on the page.

Column width. Generally, each column should be only slightly wider than the longest data entry in the column. Table columns should be identical widths or marked different widths. Columns that are only slightly different widths should be avoided.

Row height. All rows, including title rows, may be the same height. To enhance appearance, the main title row height may be slightly more than the secondary title row height, which may be more than the column heading row height. The column heading row height may be more than the data entry rows.

Vertical alignment. Within rows, data entries can be aligned at the top, center, or bottom. Most often you will use center vertical alignment for the headings and bottom vertical alignment for data rows beneath the headings. If a source note is included, it should also be bottom-aligned.

Horizontal alignment. Within columns, words may be left-aligned or center-aligned. Whole numbers may be center-aligned or right-aligned. If a column total is shown, numbers should be right-aligned. Decimal numbers are decimal-aligned.

In deciding upon a career, learn as much as possible about what individuals in that career do. For each job class, there are job requirements and qualifications that must be met. Analyze these tasks very critically in terms of your personality and what you like to do.

A high percentage of jobs in major careers demand education or training after high school. The training may be very specialized, requiring intensive study or interning for two or more years. You must decide if you willing to expend so much time and effort.

After you have decided upon a career to pursue, discuss the choice with parents, teachers, and others. Such people can help you design a plan to guide you along the series of steps required in pursuing your goal. Keep the plan flexible and change it whenever necessary.

Mrs. Kenningston’s fifth-grade class form Washington Elementary School will be studying theatre during the month of March. To conclude their study, Mrs. Kenningston would like for them to attend a Broadway production of The Lion King on March 25.

Approximately twenty children would attend the performance along with the five chaperones. Does your theatre offer educational discounts for the matinee performance?

One of our students needs wheelchair accessibility. What facilities do you have to accommodate this student?

The students are very excited about the possibility of attending a live Broadway production. Please provide me with the requested information as soon as possible so that the necessary arrangements can be made.

Sincerely Marsha Rhodes Parent Volunteer

Tara Cruz 4221 Beekman Street New York, NY 10038-8326 Dear
Mrs. Cruz

Thank you for helping chaperone the fifth-grade class on their field trip to Broadway. When I visited Mrs. Kenningston's classroom yesterday, the children were still excited about having attended the play. Their thank-you note is enclosed.

Because of parents like you, educational experiences outside the classroom are possible. These experiences bring to life what the students learn in school. I'm glad our children have this enrichment.

Thank you again for accepting the challenge of watching over the fifth-graders on their exciting trip to Broadway. I know the task wasn't easy, but I felt it was well worth our time.

Sincerely Marsha Rhodes Parent Volunteer Enclosure
