1 - Introduction ~5 mins
Today you start your Work Experience Pack: folders first, then a short plan with real headings and lists.
By the end of this lesson, you will be able to:
- Create {{code:Digital_Portfolio}} and {{code:Digital_Documents}}
- Apply Title and Heading 1 so sections show in the side panel
- Build a multi-level numbered list with {{kbd:Tab}} and {{kbd:Shift+Tab}}
- Jump sections using the headings panel
Warm-up
Which workplace near you would you try for a week? Jot one line on paper or in Notes and keep it beside you. You will use it under What I am aiming for later.
2 - Your 10-week Journey ~8 mins
Today = Week 1 only. Skim that row. The rest is a map, not today’s task.
| Week | Focus | Portfolio file |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Plan + folders | {{code:01_pack_plan}} |
| 2 | CV draft table | {{code:02_cv_draft}} |
| 3 | CV final + PDF | {{code:03_cv_final}} |
| 4 | Cover letter | {{code:04_cover_letter}} |
| 5 | Partner review | {{code:05_review_log}} |
| 6 | Info sheet | {{code:06_placement_info_sheet}} |
| 7 | Diary template | {{code:07_placement_diary}} |
| 8 | Sector profile | {{code:08_sector_profile}} |
| 9 | Report + TOC | {{code:09_report_template}} |
| 10 | Timed application | {{code:10_application}} |
3 - Key Concepts ~4 mins
| Concept | Why it matters | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Title style: marks the document title | Teachers see a clear pack title at once | Title on My Work Experience Pack |
| Heading 1: marks each main section | The side list needs real styles, not bold | Three target placements as Heading 1 |
| Multi-level list: {{kbd:Tab}} nests; {{kbd:Shift+Tab}} climbs | Why and contact sit under each placement | 1. Local vet clinic, then indented why |
| Headings panel: side jump list | One click moves you while you edit | Word: Title + H1 in Navigation. Docs: H1s in the outline (Title may not show) |
Quick look: Styles hold Title and Heading 1. Turn on Numbering before {{kbd:Tab}}. Open Navigation (Word) or the outline (Docs) after headings exist. The next task shows each control.
4 - Step-by-step Task: Folders and Practice File ~7 mins
Create your portfolio folders, open a blank document inside {{code:Digital_Documents}}, and name it {{code:pack_plan_practice}}. This file is practice only. Your real portfolio file comes later.
Checkpoint: you should see {{code:Digital_Documents}} open with a document named {{code:pack_plan_practice}}.
