Outline of Activity

The activity was planned to develop the skills, knowledge and understanding required to:

  • Insert images into Text
  • Edit images and text
  • Save, retrieve and amend work.


Eight S.E.N pupils were taught as a group but a great deal of individual teaching and over learning occurred.  The tasks were broken down into finely graded "steps" and only when pupils were confident at each step did they progress to the next. A set of carefully graded work cards carrying clear instructions was kept "at hand" for the pupils' use and support. The work cards enabled the pupil to feel independent and successful. They reduced the need of the pupil to ask the teacher for help. The outcome was a series of posters designed and produced for specific purposes by the pupil.

Teacher: Ann Lewis-Pudduck & Jill Preece.
