Activities

Outcomes

Children:
  • Revise with the class the operation of the chosen desktop publishing program. Discuss styles for the intended audiences, and the need to maintain the same identity for the posters, tickets, programmes and other printed material.
  • Ask groups of pupils to work on the production of posters, tickets and programmes for the event.
  • Ask each group to describe how the work was undertaken and what led to the conclusions.
  • incorporate graphics files into a variety of documents
  • produce a range of documents for different purposes
  • explain the process of the work using subject terminology and concepts

Points to note

  • This is an opportunity to utilise existing DTP skills and to adopt an overall design that can be adapted for several different types of printed material.
  • The detailed programmes/publicity leaflets would not be printed until towards the end of activity 6 when the results of the mailing are known, eg who has agreed to be a sponsor.
