Week 4

I’m not here today so I expect you to be on your very best behavior.

If you haven’t finished the religion comparison chart, finish that first. Since I’m gone today, you won’t be able to turn anything in. Turn the assignments in tomorrow whenever I return.

For this assignment you are doing something that looks familiar to you, but it’s a little different this time. You will not use Excel for this assignment. You will do this assignment in Word. I want you to create a table from scratch. To do that, you will need to open up a blank document in Word and then watch the tutorial video about creating tables:  Video (V) Drive>Osborne>Computer Tutorials>Creating a Table

Follow the directions from each of the steps below. I want you center all of your text in the column and in the cell.

1. 5  Headings- Countries$GDP, Life Expectancy, Literacy Rate, and Classification.    I want you to use size 18 font for the headings and make them bold.

2. In the countries column there are 15 countries I want you to include using 12 point font. They are: United Kingdom, France, Ireland, Spain, Portugal, Belgium, Netherlands, Switzerland, Italy, Greece, Sweden, Russia, Ukraine, Monaco, and Norway.

3. In the $GDP column, you need to use this link to find the GDP per capita in each of the countries.  Type the GDP for each country in the column using 12 point font. Make sure you use dollar signs.

4. Use this link to find the life expectancy rates for each country. Use 12 point font and round each number so there aren’t any decimal points. They should all be whole numbers.

5. To find the literacy rates, I want you to use Google tools. Go to Google and type in the name of the country you are looking for and the words Literacy Rate. Example, for the United Kingdom, I would go to Google and type in:   United Kingdom Literacy Rate   Use the literacy rates for the total population.  Round each number so there aren’t any decimal points. Use 12 point font. They should all be whole numbers.

6. For the Classification column, I want you to look at the data to determine whether you believe they are a developed country or a developing country. Use 12 point font to write which one you believe each country is.

You can use this chart as a guide to help you determine the classification.
