7th+Grade+Organization

Let’s Get Organized **Is your computer organized?** **Remember: If I can’t find your project, then I can’t know that you completed it and this can and will affect your grade.**
 * Is there a folder with your name and grade on your computer?
 * If not, please create this folder under “My Documents.” If you don’t know how to do this, please ask.
 * If you have one, but it doesn’t contain both your name and grade, please rename this folder so it is named “Grade—Your Name”.
 * Are all of your Word Documents in this folder?
 * Check under “My Documents” to see if any of your Word documents are there instead of in your folder.
 * Move any Word Documents not in your folder to your folder. If you need help moving the files, please ask.
 * Are all of your Word Documents named in a meaningful way? I need to be able to tell at a glance what your Word Document is about. For example, an essay on the election should be named Election Essay and not something like aaaaa or document1 or anything else.
 * Rename any documents not correctly named. This means you’ll need to open any documents that don’t have any meaningful names to figure out what they are. Then rename them to something meaningful.
 * Remove any duplicate or blank documents.

 * Check under “My Documents” to see if any of your Excel Workbooks are there instead of in your folder.
 * Move any Excel Workbooks not in your folder to your folder.
