I can change the alignment

This week students in second grade will read the paragraph with me, I will highlight the text where each paragraph begins and ends so that they know where they need to press enter and indent the paragraph. They will also center align the title, add their name as author (centered) and change the size and font family of the paragraph.
Teach in this order-
Select All (Control-A) change the font size (size 22)
Read the whole thing with students- have them click at the end of each paragraph and press enter (tab if needed)
Click behind by (in front of the star- backspace the star and add your name)
Click center align
Click the title- click center align
Have them select all again (Control-A) and then show them how to change the font family. Once they decide, they are to save as the title (Crazy Computer teacher)
The “story” is below:
The Crazy Computer Teacher
By: *
Once upon a time there was a computer teacher named Mrs. Begin. She was a crazy teacher, she always made the students work hard while having fun. We never knew what was going to happen in the computer lab. One time when we came into the lab there was a robot in the room! We didn’t know what to think! But she had us watch the robot and then type up what we saw it do. Another time when we came in the lab she was wearing a balloon hat. She looked silly, but it was cool. She wanted us to use a drawing program to draw a picture of her wearing the hat. We always have a good time in lab, but we learn a lot too.
