Sunday's musings

Yes, I'm procastinating! I still haven't looked at Unit 4 (First Impressions of poetry) but I had previously completed it and (hand)written notes in my 'Learning Notes' folder.

I'm not feeling very well, so I'm still in bed, working on my laptop.

I've downloaded a pdf version of 'Block 1 - Finding your voice' and am going to move it into the OU folder that I've created on my desktop.

​​​​​​​I've worked out how to cut out a section of the Assesment Guide and create a pdf document of TMA02 only. I've shared it on the forums.

How is it done? You open the pdf document that you want to take an extract of. Make a note of the page(s) that you want to create in your new document. Select 'Print' and select 'Save as pdf'. Put in the first and last pages you want to include and click on 'Print'. Then save it with a new name in the file location you want. And that's it!
