Layout of the Pages
Each page of this online interactive textbook has a list of the competencies you will be learning or demonstrating in the blue column to the left.
In this white column is the text explaining the skills or the activities you will perform to practice the skills.
At the top and bottom of the page are rows of buttons you may use to navigate the lessons:

- Click on the "Menu" button to return to the Table of Contents for the online interactive textbook.
