Introductionmcf582404ca00163d_1528450127855_0Introduction

The teacher initiates a discussion about the methods of making text more attractive for its readers, based on the examples of articles in newspapers and magazines.

A text document will be more interesting for its readers if graphical elements related to the content are added to the text in order to make it more attractive. Such elements may include photographs prepared earlier or graphics created independently in a graphics editor.mcf582404ca00163d_1527752256679_0A text document will be more interesting for its readers if graphical elements related to the content are added to the text in order to make it more attractive.
