Year 7W - Tuesday and Wednesday
you are going to be writing a picture book aimed at KS2 students telling them about a famous historical event. The project will be in several parts - As I have already mentioned, planning and evaluating are more important than just doing "stuff" ,so for the IT bit we have to produce a plan - and that is what we'll be looking at today. Later on we get to actually put things together, and then we'll evaluate it. #
You will need to discuss what makes for a good picture story - the SUCCESS CRITERIA. This is a list of things that your story should be like - at the end this is what we'll be using to mark each others work - You'll get the chance to look at different stories and then grade them as to whether they meet the success criteria or not. You need to think about two different sets of things in the success critiera - 1 lot which is all about the picture book that you have made and the second lot about the language that you are using.
Shared/ICT/Year 7/myths and legends.ppt.
The way the software works is that you can have up to 10 chapters, and each chapter can have 9 pages.
Stories often have beginnings (where you set the scene, describe what is going on etc) A middle (where the stuff happens) and an end (where everything gets explained) You'll also need to think about what characters you are going to have etc.
RULES:
Boys- no wars, fights or gun stories. It's ok to have a murder for example if you were telling a police story, but NOT just fighting fighting fighting like you all try to do in Drama!

Year 10s
coursework - carry on with what you are doing. Also, look at the troubleshooting section of mb5-7 in the add on marks. The idea of this is that the year 11s are total IT muppets and could'nt fix anything more complicated than a pencil!
Your task is to provide them with a troubleshooting guide to help them sort out the sorts of common IT problems that they face:
e.g.
mouse/keyboard/printer/monitor/scanner etc not working (these are called peripherals)
what is the difference between PS/2 and serial / USB connection? which one needs to be restarted before the peripheral will work?
If words that they know are correctly spelled are highlighted as incorrect - why is this and what can you do to solve the problem?
why is it that sometimes files that you have saved and work on without problems at home cannot be used at school? What are the solutions?
Year 9s
evidence powerpoint - we strated it before the hols - you need to make sure that you have included ANNOTATED evidence of as much of the work as you can (hint - take this opportunity to finish off anyhting that you haven't done - e.g. collecting evaluation and feddback ideas)
Task 2:
powerpoint on internet safety.
using resources from the net, www.thunkuknow.co.uk and what we talked about, use the powerpoint presentation to make young people aware of the need to be careful when putting info about themselves online.
target audience: students in years 5-8
success criteria:
all slides MUST be consistent - same background, colours, fonts, layouts etc. (This isn't just me - if you ever want to get above a level 3, then this is what you have to do! - to all the moaners out there who want their work to look "pretty" - tough!)
topics to include: blogging, social networking, using mobile phones
Year 11s - look at yesterday's notes for what you have to do.
