Children should learn:
  • about the production of newspapers

Activities

Outcomes

Children:
  • If necessary, time should be taken to ensure that the principle of using 'layers' or 'frames' in desktop publishing work is understood, as is the fact that these are objects with attributes, and that these attributes affect the overall working of the template.
  • Ask pupils to convert the layout into a template using a desktop publishing package, reminding them to add components, such as titles, date and prices.
  • Ask groups to work on final preparation of text files and carry out any image capture and preparation work.
  • Explain to pupils how to begin and end pieces of work appropriately, group sentences into paragraphs using subheadings, develop ideas and plans into continuous text.
  • know that desktop publishing packages use frames or layers to hold individual pieces of information, whether text or graphics

Points to note

  • During this activity the most able pupils should be encouraged to use club times to develop the system further and investigate the concepts of pre-press production with consideration to other users.
