• Ampersand (Can you recognize one when you see one? Learn a little history.)

• Symbols 1 (Shift+a number and what do you get and what do you use them for?)

• Symbols 2 (Some tricky little symbols that aren't necessarily right there on the keyboard.)

• Typestyle (Not exactly 'name that font' but at least 'name that font style.')

• Numerals (Can you count to 10? How about type to 10?)
