Objectives |
| Children should learn: |

- about the variety of file types used and why they are used
|
Activities |
|
Outcomes |
|
Children: |
- Explain that the newspaper is to be 'pasted' together from the various elements. This can be emphasised by creating a jigsaw made out of a newspaper page where each 'piece' is a single element of the page's make-up.
- Explain that text and graphics are prepared as individual files and saved to the shared area for later inclusion. Introduce file compatibility issues and reach an agreement on the file formats to be used,
eg fully formatted text or rich text format. Ask pupils then to start to prepare their text for inclusion at a later stage.
|
|
- break down a complex task into smaller subtasks, to make it more manageable
- show through actions that they know files must be compatible and which type to use
|
|
Points to note |
- Preparation of text at this stage should be confined to synthesising it rather than entering new text, which takes up valuable time.
