Key Stage 3

Year 7

Gaining support for a cause

In this lesson, we will think about what software should be used for what particular purposes. We will identify the key features of a word processor. We will practice our skills by looking at a pre-made document that is poorly formatted and use tools to format the document. 


Features of a word processor

In this lesson, we will learn how to pick images that are suitable for the intended purpose, understand copyright issues when choosing images, and utilise features of a word processor to be able to format the images to fit within the work that we started in the previous lesson.

Licensing appropriate images

In this lesson, we will learn to critically evaluate information online and we will become equipped with techniques to help identify unreliable sources of information.

Credibility of sources

In this lesson, we will conduct and document research on the causes that we have chosen to support. We will learn how to document and credit our sources to avoid plagiarism.

Researching

In this lesson, we will start to construct a blog and put into practice all of the skills that we have learnt so far in this unit

Promoting your cause

In this lesson, we will finalise our blogs and get them ready for launch.
