Year 3 – Lesson 2 – Can you edit it?

This lesson will build on last week’s lesson, in which we looked at using images and text to communicate a message effectively. In this lesson we will look at desktop publishing. Learners will think about how to make careful choices regarding font size, colour, and type in an invitation. The use of the Return, Backspace, and Shift keys will be explored and learners will be taught how to type age-appropriate punctuation marks. This will build on the typing skills learned in the Year 1 ‘Digital painting’ unit. Learners will understand that once content has been added, it can be rearranged on the page.
