Supporting performance objective 54 of the V-TECS (Vocational-Technical Education Consortium of States) Secretarial Catalog, both a set of student materials and an instructor's manual on writing checks are included in this packet. (The packet is the sixth in a set of nine on performing computational clerical activities--CE 016 951-959.) The student materials include basic information on the purpose and operation of a checking account, a student activity, a check-out activity, and sample blank checks, account statements, and business statements. The instructor's manual includes instructions for duplicating sample forms for both activities, and answer keys. 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 nine packets in this set along with those in several other sets--seventy-eight packets in all--based on the same V-TECS catalog.) (JT)
