Unit 12: Systems - integrating applications to find solutions
Section 8: Activity 8

QCA

Objectives

Children should learn:
  • to evaluate the planning and organisation of the event, and the ways in which these have been enhanced through the use of ICT
  • to discuss and respond to virtual ideas, carry out the task and then review and refine ideas

Activities

Outcomes

Children:
  • Discuss with the class the way the event proceeded, and the effectiveness of the ICT solutions employed, together with final data in the spreadsheet. Ask each group to write a report designed to facilitate the running of similar events in the future.
  • Explain to pupils how to organise information in an appropriate sequence, group sentences into paragraphs that have a clear form, link ideas and paragraphs into continuous text.
  • Explain to pupils how to show relationships between ideas that show purpose.
  • produce a report on the overall effectiveness of a system
  • understand the advantages and limitations of a variety of ICT-based solutions
  • write a coherent, continuous text and link ideas into sentences showing more complex connections

Points to note

  • If the event was fictional, then a report needs to be prepared for this activity that details all the main features of what should have happened, eg tickets sold, money raised, actual expenses incurred.
  • Homework could be completion of the report.
