Lesson Plan

• Insert and format text, images, screenshots, shapes, tables, charts, spreadsheet extracts, and database extracts within a document.
• Adjust size, position, and text‑wrapping for inserted objects to achieve a professional layout.
• Use appropriate insertion commands and format options to maintain data integrity and visual consistency.
• Embed dynamic objects (e.g., charts linked to spreadsheets) so updates are reflected in the document.

• Computer with word‑processing/presentation software (e.g., MS Word or Google Slides)
• Projector or interactive whiteboard
• Sample images and screenshots
• Spreadsheet file with data for a chart
• CSV file exported from a database
• Handout with step‑by‑step insertion guide

Begin with a quick visual tour of a document that contains various objects, asking learners to name each type. Recall prior knowledge of the Insert menu and basic formatting tools. Explain that by the end of the lesson they will be able to place and fine‑tune any of these objects independently.

1. Do‑now (5'): Identify and label the different objects in a sample document displayed on the screen.
2. Mini‑lecture (10'): Demonstrate where the Insert commands are located and the options for each object type.
3. Guided demonstration (15'): Teacher inserts each of the eight object types, showing sizing, positioning, and wrap settings.
4. Pair activity (20'): Students use provided resources to insert and format objects in their own document, circulating for support.
5. Check for understanding (5'): Quick Kahoot quiz or show‑of‑hands to confirm key steps.
6. Recap & questions (5'): Summarise the workflow and address any lingering doubts.

Review the four‑step process—position cursor, choose Insert, select source, format—highlighting how it applies to all object types. Students complete an exit ticket describing how they would insert a chart linked to a spreadsheet. Assign homework: create a one‑page report that incorporates at least four different objects, using the techniques practiced today.
