Warm-up (30 seconds): Open your Digital Portfolio from Lesson 4 (Proposal Draft). Does it look ready to print and hand to a teacher or principal? What would make it look more professional?
This lesson teaches you how to control page layout — margins, orientation, headers, footers, and page numbers — to make your documents look polished and professional.
Professional documents have consistent margins (e.g. 2 cm all sides, or per your school's template), your name and project title in the header, page numbers in the footer, and the right orientation (Portrait for letters, Landscape for tables).
Portfolio Goal: Transform your Lesson 4 Proposal Draft into 'Polished Proposal v2' with professional layout.
Follow these steps to practice margins, orientation, headers and footers using sample text. This builds your confidence before upgrading your real Proposal Draft.
Success criteria: Your practice document has consistent margins (e.g. 2 cm all sides, or per your school's template), landscape orientation, header with your name, footer with page numbers.
Your Digital Portfolio artifact: Upgrade your Lesson 4 Proposal Draft to 'Polished Proposal v2' with professional layout.
Success criteria: Document has consistent professional layout, prints cleanly on A4, shows your name and page numbers.
