Unit 4A: Writing for different audiences
Section 2: SHORT FOCUSED TASKS

QCA

Objectives

Children should learn:
  • technique: to alter font size and use effects to indicate relative importance

Activities

Outcomes

Children:
  • Ask the class to suggest a list of five ways to improve playtime and enter their suggestions on screen. Demonstrate how to change font size and use bold to make some ideas seem more important than others.
  • Divide the class into small groups and ask each group to take turns to re-size the words to indicate their order of priority. Ask them to print their work and return the screen to the way it was.
  • use font sizes and effects appropriately

Points to note

The list can be anything which children can prioritise - things they do at school, what they eat, how they can help others.
