Supporting performance objective 44 of the V-TECS (Vocational-Technical Education Consortium of States) Secretarial Catalog, both a set of student materials and an instructor's manual on taking sales orders in person are included in this packet. (The packet is the first in a set of three on performing clerical activities--CE 016 948-950.) The student materials include information on sales orders and preparing sales orders, two self-check quizzes with answer keys, a check-out activity, and a final checklist for the instructor's evaluation of activity performance. The instructor's manual includes instructions for duplicating necessary materials and for administering the packet activity. Also included are a sales-slip transparency and four sales-slip overlays. The materials are designed for self-paced individual instruction and may be adapted for use with large groups. (A separate booklet--CE 016 911--lists contents for the three packets in this set along with those in several other sets--seventy-eight packets in all--based on the same V-TECS catalog.) (JT)
