Students often have difficulty sizing the border for the Reedy exercise. Here's a quick tip. The box is 2" by 3" with the dots aligned to the inside.
For Reedy, I have created the first of a number of templates for you to check your work. These will save you loads of time. I have uploaded the template here.
After you have downloaded the template, create a new layer in the Indesign document that you are preparing for the Reedy exercise. Put this layer below the layer holding your 2" by 3" box. Place the template, a PDF file, on this layer. Align your box with the outside of the dots in the template. Now when you work on the creation and fotmatting of the text, you can compare what you have to the template.
Do not hand in the file until your work matches the template. Be sure to hide the template when creating your finished PDF file.
Do NOT create the copy by typing in the text. Someone else has already done that. See this explanation of how to copy/paste the text from the PDF of the Student Handout.
