Lesson 4 – Bizarre Facts: Assessing Reliability
1. Label the URL on the first sheet of CD Resource 4a as a class. Complete the second sheet, filling in the missing countries and identifying the domain types. Considering the URL (or website address) can help to assess the reliability of a website.
2. Look at CD Resource 4b on the Smartboard (or look at www.brookview.karoo.net/Stick_Insects/) What do you think about this information? Does it seem true?
3. Find three things on the page that might indicate reliability and three things that suggest unreliability.
If you finish the activities early, use a search engine to find at least two websites which give information on a favourite band or singer. Take screengrabs of the sites and annotate them (in pen/pencil) to show parts of the site that indicate reliability and parts that show unreliability.

Unit 7 Lesson 3 Bizzare Facts: Searching the Internet.
Questionnaires are useful for finding out opinions but usually we look at other sources for facts. The Internet is another source of information but you do have to know how to ask it questions!
Tasks
1. Open CD Resource 3a in Year 7 Work Unit 2 Lesson 3. Use www.Google.co.uk or www.yahoo.co.uk to answer the questions on the worksheet. Record the web addresses of the sites where you find the information. Save this worksheet in your personal documents.
2. Open the Guinness World Records site (www.guinnessworldrecords.com) and make a note of your two favourite or most bizzarre world records. Swap these with a partner and see how quickly your partner can locate your record. How easy was the webstie to navigate? Did you use the search engine or navigate using menus?
3. Open CD Recource 3c and read through the main components of a web address. What does the term ‘URL’ mean. Take a screen-grab of a website and annotate the URL.
If you finish the activities before the rest of the class please use the time for personal revision by researching information on the internet. Make sure that you understand the information that you’re reading!

WEEK 16 – 5th January
7.3 Lesson 1 Endangered Animals – Designing a Corporate image.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
In today’s lesson you will learn how to;
- Understand and be able to explain what is meant by “Corporate Image”.
- Apply elements of the corporate image to produce a suitable front cover for WWF.
Task 1 Setting up a New Folder
Within your ICT folder create a new folder called Unit 7.3 Endangered Animals.
STARTER –World Wildlife Fund leaflet covers.
Open Example WWF front covers (Reso1a). The leaflets are from two different time periods, but from the same organisation. Open the Similarities and Differences worksheet (Reso1b). Add your name to the name dialogue box. Save this into your Unit 7.3 Endangered Animals folder. Call it Similarities and Differences. On the worksheet write down five similarities and three differences between the two leaflets. The first has been done for you.
Start thinking about…
Informative writing: “Seals face many different threats; these include predators such as wolves, foxes, polar bears and the biggest threat of all – humans! Fishing means that seals struggle to find food and many starve to death. In addition, the pollution in the Arctic seas is creating a high level of danger.”
Persuasive writing: “Please, please help save these beautiful, defenceless animals – just a few pounds a month could make a huge difference.”
- What is the difference between the way these two paragraphs are written?
Task 1 – Design a WWF leaflet
You have been commissioned by the WWF (formerly known as the World Wildlife Fund) to design a cover for their next leaflet. You can choose what you focus on but you must keep to the corporate image. That means you have to include the same features as those used on the covers they have already produced:
- Two logos
- Slogans
- Web address
- Postal addresses
- A suitable picture
Try to copy the design of the blue WWF leaflet you looked at in the starter as closely as possible to keep to their corporate image.
Corporate image is the way an organisation presents itself. There will usually be key items in company leaflets that remain the same, including the positioning of the logo, colours, font and so on. This is so that the audience are able to immediately identify who has produced it.
Task 2 – Use a pre-designed template
Open the document WWF template (Reso1c). Add your name to footer (View / Header and Footer). Save this into your Unit 7.3 Endangered Animals folder. Call it NAME WWF leaflet cover. Follow the instructions on the template and insert appropriate features from the WWF Images and information (Reso1e) document.
Task 3 – Insert an image into your template
Use the items in WWF Images and Information (Reso1e) to help you design your WWF leaflet cover. You can copy them into your own leaflet by selecting the image you want and choosing Edit > Copy. Then paste it into your own document by clicking on the page and choosing Edit > Paste.
You can save images you find on the Internet into your Unit 7.3 Endangered Animals folder. First right click on the image and choose Save Picture As. Give it a name you will recognise (e.g. leopard). Go to your document and choose Insert / Picture / From File. Find the folder where you saved the image. Select the image and click Insert. The image will be placed in the document.
Task 4 – Insert text or WordArt
To add text to your document, first draw a text box using the Text box tool. Type our text in, or copy and paste text from WWF Images and information (Reso1e) document. If you want to add WordArt, click on the WordArt icon. You will then be given a gallery of styles to choose from. Select the style you want and click OK. The type your text in and click OK again. The WordArt will appear on your page.
NOTE: you should ONLY use WordArt for titles.
EXTENSION WORK
Open Homework sheet (Reso1f). Add your name to the name dialogue box. Save this into your Unit 7.3 Endangered Animals folder. Call it Leaflet Cover Planning Sheet.
Plan the layout of the cover of a leaflet for a charity organisation called PEAT (Protecting Endangered Animals Together). The charity helps to protect a wide range of endangered animals such as polar bears, elephants, whales, leopards and pandas, to name but a few! Look at the example leaflet cover from the WWF leaflet. Your cover should have the same elements. These include:
- Title
- Logo
- Date and issue number
- Picture
- Slogan
- Website address
You should also write on your plan what colours and pictures you are going to use. The diagram on the left is a plan that might have been created for the production of the WWF cover on the right.

7.1 Lesson 8 Where I live: London – Our Capital
Assessment Activity
In this assessed activity you will work on behalf of the London Tourist Board. They have organised a trip to London for a group of students from Australia. The Australian students are visiting London for five nights. The students are between 11 – 13 years of age, and want to see all the sights.
A presentation has been created for the students to give them a taste of what they can expect to see when they get here. However, the London Tourist Board is not very happy with the presentation as it stands, and they want you to improve it. There are comments in the notes section of each slide telling you what changes are necessary.
It is your job to help to sell the trip to the Australian students. Make them have no doubt that they are going to have the time of their lives. You have only one hour to do this, because they’ll be arriving very soon.
Open London Presentation (Reso8b). Choose File / Save As and navigate to your Unit 7.1 Where I Live folder. Rename it NAME London Presentation e.g. [your name] London Presentation.
Open the London Images folder. This contains the images that you will need to use to improve the presentation. The Notes sections is beneath each slide at the bottom of the screen. Use the scroll bars to find all of the instructions.
Work individually, in silence. I will not be able to show you how to do any of the tasks.
Good luck. REMEMBER: Save your work regularly as you go along.
