In addition, students will develop confidence in utilising visual and written grammar to portray meaning and gain an understanding of how the selected subject matter can represent different interpretations. || <span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Verdana; mso-fareast-font-family: Verdana; msobidifontfamily: Verdana; msofareastfontfamily: Verdana; msolist: Ignore;">- <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 11pt;">Build knowledge of Wiki use and develop computer skills <span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Verdana; mso-fareast-font-family: Verdana; msobidifontfamily: Verdana; msofareastfontfamily: Verdana; msolist: Ignore;">- <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 11pt;">Build knowledge of a variety of multi-modal texts, written and visual grammar. || <span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Verdana; mso-fareast-font-family: Verdana; msobidifontfamily: Verdana; msofareastfontfamily: Verdana; msolist: Ignore;">- <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 11pt;">Wiki webpage – //myfirstschoolwiki. //All computers will be prepared and opened to this page prior to lesson. <span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Verdana; mso-fareast-font-family: Verdana; msobidifontfamily: Verdana; msofareastfontfamily: Verdana; msolist: Ignore;">- <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 11pt;">Computers for each child/access to computer lab or library where computers are.

 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 11pt;">Prior knowledge: Students will have developed content knowledge through the careful lesson sequencing of this unit. The Science and Technology Syllabus Outcomes and Indicators state that students in Stage 2 are working towards or are working at a level at which they are able to (IC S2.2) ‘create and evaluate information products demonstrating an understanding of the needs of particular audiences’. Therefore this lesson is based around the understanding that students will have prior knowledge of computer use, with extra scaffolding for those students who are unsure/have little experience with computer use.

Discuss with them what Wiki’s can be used for (information pages, class learning pages for e.g.). Explain that we will be creating a practice Wiki today so we can get used to the different features on Wikispaces.

Are there any strong lines in the pictures? What does this mean? Do the pictures convey an idea or are they just showing a simple image? What information are the pictures showing? What types of images are on the Wiki page (diagrams, photos, etc..)? How is the page set out? What can you see on the screen? What part of the screen catches you eye? Why?
