This book provides a brief and succinct introduction to AppleWorks and is designed for use by teachers who are already familiar with the three AppleWorks tools: the word processor, the database, and the spreadsheet. "Classworks" (developed for grades 8 and 9) emphasizes computer work in which the teacher serves as troubleshooter, reference person, and model for the effective use of the program. Classworks materials include: (1) unit and lesson objectives; (2) lesson guides; (3) a set of overhead transparency masters; (4) student worksheets; (5) reference sheets; (6) a Student Data Disk; (7) a Teacher Data Disk; and (8) quizzes. The data disks, which are not included in this document, are for use with the Apple IIe/IIc microcomputers with two disk drives. Eleven lessons provide instruction in word processing, creating databases and database reports, and spreadsheet activities. Each lesson is composed of a presentation using an overhead projector and a computer demonstration. Class time needed to complete lessons varies. Reference sheets provided for lessons contain step-by-step instructions and sample screen displays to which students may refer during the classroom presentation. It is noted that students learn better when working in groups of two or three. Quiz questions may be found on the Teacher Data Disk, and may be edited according to individual instructional settings and student needs. (DB)
