Employee Rosters
Employee Rosters Grading Rubric

You will create a memorandum informing your employees of their room assignments for an upcoming training they will be attending at the Palm Beach Marriott. The training is for several days so you as their boss have booked them rooms to stay in while they are away at training. You will use a watermark (a slightly transparent image or block of text) that will be placed behind your text which will add visual impact. Watermarks can be images, objects, or text. For instance, document containing important information that is not meant to be shared with others are often watermarked with the text "CONFIDENTIAL." Since they have a dimmed, slightly transparent appearance, watermarks are not meant to distract from the readability of a document.

In this activity you will practice using a watermark to mark a memo as "CONFIDENTIAL."
