    Illustration for IntroductionThis KA2 workshop ends Module 1.

    Warm-up

    Think of some real facts from your Something Real project, like prices, Work Experience shifts or contacts. Would they be clearer in a table? Who needs to read that table?

    2 - Key Concepts ~5 mins

    • Gathered information is real facts from your project, like prices you looked up.
    • A table-centred document lets the table do the main job, with a short purpose above and a short read-out below.
    • Bankable evidence is your working file plus its PDF, both saved in {{code:04_evidence}}.

    Example: a KA2 page

    1. Title: Phone accessory cost and stock summary
    2. Purpose: who the page is for
    3. Table: Item, Supplier, Net, VAT, Gross
    4. Read-out: one note on what it shows
    5. Header: your name and KA2

    3 - Step-by-step Task ~14 mins

    You will practise on a sample phone-accessory table first. Watch your teacher do it, then follow the steps in the box below. Your Key Assignment uses your own project facts next.

    Save the PDF even if you only finish two rows.

    Is your newest table document (name starts {{code:sm1_doc3_table_document}}) already strong? Ask your teacher if you can skip to Portfolio Build.

    Title: Phone accessory cost and stock summary

    Purpose: This summary shows net price, VAT and gross price for three stall items. It is for a weekend market helper who needs to see margin at a glance before restocking.

    ItemSupplierNet (€)VAT (€)Gross (€)

    Pop gripBulkBox IE1.200.281.48
    Metal standBulkBox IE6.501.508.00

    Read-out: The metal stand is the dearest item at €8.00 gross. The pop grip is the cheapest. For a first stall, stock more cases and grips; pause the metal stand until margin improves.

    4 - Common Issues ~3 mins

    Common problems

    • Columns look cramped. Drag the column borders so each label fits on one line.
    • Euro amounts don't line up. Select only the number cells and click Align right.
    • The PDF is missing or in the wrong folder. Download it, then upload it beside your working file. Practice files go in {{code:01_drafts}}, and your KA2 files go in {{code:04_evidence}}.
