QCA

Objectives

Children should learn:
  • to develop a presentation for a specified audience
  • to use the facilities of a presentation package to combine text, images and other material effectively

Activities

Outcomes

Children:
  • Discuss with the class the audience and the amount of time and space the pupils have for each presentation, eg the presentation must explain what the parents' role might be in relation to the chosen topic.
  • Ask the class how they could present their information, the reason for presenting the information to the audience and discuss the key messages. Illustrate and discuss the issues in producing effective presentations, eg using images as a message and to enhance text, the importance of clear layout, the use of styles and sizes of font, spell checking.
  • prepare a presentation to address the specified audience and to focus on the purpose of the presentation
  • use images, clip art and graphs to enhance a message or be more effective than text
  • use the facilities of a presentation package to produce an effective presentation

Points to note

  • Some pupils may need guidance on how to focus their activity, eg make one point on a slide.
  • Pupils can be encouraged to review their presentation regularly.
  • More able pupils can be encouraged to think more carefully about the choice of design and layout of the presentation.
  • Pupils should be encouraged to make thoughtful decisions about the use of animated features of presentation packages, eg using them for a specific reason.
