Supporting performance objective 63 of the V-TECS (Vocational-Technical Education Consortium of States) secretarial catalog, both a set of student materials and an instructor's manual on placing postage on outgoing mail by use of a postal meter are included in this packet. (The packet is the fourth in a set of eight on performing mail activities--CE 016 912-919.) The student materials include information on the classes of mail, postage rates, postage meters, and postal scales. Included also are a self-check quiz, with an answer key, and a check-out activity involving the use of a postal scale and illustrative metered amounts of postage. The instructor' manual includes directions for packet administration, illustrations of ten pieces of mail representing various weights, illustrations of postage meter stamps for varying amounts, an answer sheet blank, and an answer key. The materials are designed for self-paced individual instruction and may be adapted for use with large groups. (A separate booklet--CE 016 911--lists contents for the eight packets in this set along with those in several other sets--seventy-eight packets in all--based on the same V-TECS catalog.) (JT)
