An instructor's manual and student activity guide on general clerical work are provided in this set of prevocational education materials which focuses on the vocational area of office occupations. (This set of materials is one of ninety-two prevocational education sets arranged around a cluster of seven vocational offerings: agriculture, home economics, distributive education, health occupations, world of work, trade and industry, and office occupations.) The instructor's guide is organized into the following elements: title of activity, duration of activity (six to eight days), activity goals, instructional objectives (seven), related vocational clusters, and activity implementation (description, materials needed, teacher preparation prior to class, during the class, follow-up activities, answer key to student check point activities, and masters for duplication [e.g., inventory sheets, worksheet for administrative secretary]). The student activity guide provides step-by-step instructions (narrative and illustrations) for completing each instructional objective (e.g., copy material from an index card onto a spirit master, arrange material numerically, operate a stapler to bind a book). At the end of each set of instructions is a student check point (evaluation activity). Twenty-one occupational descriptions (e.g., bookbinder, file clerk, collator operator, editorial assistant, etc.) conclude the document. (JH)
