Students will engage with and use a variety of different software to create static adverts. This may include Comic Life, Publisher, Keynote, Printshop or Pages. These have been chosen as they offer a range of different font, colour and editing programmes that children can easily operate quickly with little teacher direction needed. Students will also be encouraged to explore a variety of online presenting tools such as Glogster, Cloud-Canvas or Prezent it.com. These Web 2.0 tools are easy to use and manipulate and can be accessed outside of the classroom so that children can explore them in their own time or at home. Students will use internet sites to:

It is anticipated that either independently or collaboratively children will produce an iMovie incorporating a range of different media. Students will use software progrmames such as Excel, Word (particulalry the mindmapping tools) to organise thinking and display understandings.

__** Intentional **__ View PowerPoint tutorials - advertsing tricks, fact/opinion, literary features for persuasion... and reflect on their understandings about advertising. Students will use computer software to design assessment rubrics for learning. Possibly use portfolios to log all learning - a sort of a summative collation of achievements.

Use Youtube to upload advertising videos. We've chosen YouTube as this is a great tool for sharing with our school, community and the wider community easily. Use Webcams to Skype each other regarding collabroative task when working on at home. Skype is an ideal tool for children to use as it is a free programme that can be used with both PC and Mac computers. Text/email infromation or ideas for collaborative tasks when working on at home.
