**Week 1:**
Access Google Docs. There are three ways to do this.

1. If you already have your Gmail account, you should already have access to Google Docs from your gmail account. Look for "Documents" tab at the top of your account page.

2. If you don't have a Gmail, you could sign up for one today. []

After you got one Gmail, you will do the same as in option 1. You will then have access to Google Docs.

3. The third method allows you to access to Google Docs without having to own a Gmail account. Click the link below to sign up for a Google Account using your regular email.
