Before computers were used in professional publishing, cut and paste meant literally to cut and paste, and a teacher without a computer can use the same primitive, but effective methods for getting the look and feel of the printed page. You will need, however, a typewriter! Come on, it is the twenty-first century!
The first thing you will need to do is to type up the text in column widths much like this one! You can set the tabs on a typewriter to make this possible. |
Next, cut the columns into long strips. When you come to do the layout, simply paste the strips onto a blank page in columns, cutting your longer strips into shorter pieces where necessary. You can plan your layout using a blue pencil which does not photocopy to form guidelines. You can number paragraphs in blue pencil for extra security!
Stick the column strips inside the guidelines. The column strips can be numbered in blue pencil as well, but be careful not to get the text out of sequence. Don�t laugh, it is easy to do! Images can be photocopied, or cut out, and glued in position in picture boxes before photocopying. Avoid straightiline cuts as these tend to show after photocopying, or Tippex over the join of picture and paper to avoid lines appearing. |
