This was an integral part of learning and teaching for functional writing at Level C. Children were asked to design a book cover using software and scanned images. Other pupils designed their own leaflets to advertise local amenities. Finally, a group of pupils were asked to edit pieces of creative writing to incorporate images from various software sources. |
