Main activity

Working in pairs, children select a photograph of an artefact. They copy and paste it into a new Word document, create a WordArt label and add some text to it.

Provide support as needed, and ask them to suggest how the presentation of their work could be improved.

Plenary

With whole class look at print outs of completed work. Ask children for their opinion of each piece of work and whether it would be effective on display in the classroom.
