Using Publisher to create a graphic organizer

Instead of copying the graphic organizer for students to complete as a pencil/paper task the students created the graphic organizer using Publisher.  It was a simple organizer and allowed the students an opportunity to practice using Publisher.  Students created a text box with a border.  A bold title was centered along with changing the font and size of the text.  Students then changed the next line of text to align to the left of the box and toggled the bold setting off.  The boxes were copied and pasted until all needed boxes were placed on the document.  Headings were changed to fit the graphic organizer.  Students then clicked in each box and added the applicable content to each box.  A text box was added to the top of the document for the student's name.

The organizer had five boxes.  Problem, Action, Action, Action, Solution
