In this unit children learn to create a multimedia presentation using text, images, and sounds. They will be taught to create links between pages and show sensitivity to the needs of their audience.
Children will apply what they have learnt in this unit when communicating and presenting information in music, art, history, geography, science, design and technology.
Where this unit fits in
Children may have created individual multimedia pages in earlier units. This unit assumes that children are familiar with tree diagrams.
