ICT HOMEWORK HELP - Needs to be in for tomorrow!!!

Hi, please help me with this ICT homework. This is GCSE stuff, so if I'm in the wrong section please move it.

The homework title is Describing Documents

1. Collect 3 examples of different documents.

I don't understand, what does it mean by "Documents?"

Please reply quickly. Thanks.

In future, it might be worth noting that you might get a better response if you post in the Computing and ICT forum.

As for your homework, I think it means collecting various documents such as flyers, newspaper articles, leaflets, pamphlets and letters.

I had that in mind, but I thought she ment documents like Word, Powerpoint etc. But I think you are the right one.

Thank you.

Your teacher is being a bit vague. If she had said 'business documents' she will have meant the documents I listed above. She should have been a bit more specific.

N.B: Powerpoint and Word are not documents, they are computer applications or 'software'. Hope I've helped. Good luck! Out of interest are you doing GCSE or GNVQ ICT?

Sorry, I was being a bit vague. She did say 'business documents', so you are right about the documents you listed. Thank you.

I am doing GCSE ICT. :smile:

Memo and fax sound like good business ones. I agree, sounds like a badly described homework! You should have a word with your teacher and tell him/her you didn't really understand what she was asking you to do :s-smilie:

Technically, anything thsat passes on information can be classed as a document, but I assume if you are being asked to collect them then your teacher will mean paper based documents such as:
Newsletters
Brochures
Leaflets/flyers
Letters
Business Cards
Faxes
Memos
Agenda from a meeting (a meeting plan)
Minutes from a meeting (recording of what happand in the meeting)
Lists (not sure if that's valid)
Newspaper Article (not sure about that one??)

Hope this helps.
