How, I meen How an earth?!
 
How do you make worksheets that look so beautiful and exciting and just wonderful? Do you use some kind of art program or what? I would like to make worksheets that look 1/3 as nice, but all I know is how to write in word and copy pic from google :( I would be greatful, if you could give me some hints. I really admire these pieces of art.

That �s true Sylvie!  Content for me is also more important than layout. In my school we are not allowed to make too many copies and everything is black and white .  If we need a coloured transparency or copy we have to pay a lot. It � cheaper  outside the school.

I agree. We don �t really need lots of flowers and cartoons and colour... all my students get black and white worksheets, there �s just no other way at my school! Besides, we should all try and save ink cartridges, don �t you think??? And I also think content is more important.

Hi Piret! I also think content is very important; however, I defend that top quality content and layout should go hand in hand. I love beautiful worksheets and so do my students, whatever their age. So, please, take the plunge! You have all you need - Microsoft word and google. That �s all I have too.
 
Have a good night.
