Story Time Assessment

This interactive and editable PowerPoint presentation is the final assessment for the Foundation - Creating Digital Texts unit. Each student will create their own slide demonstrating their ability to type, scroll, select and change objects. This flexible task can be used to create a collaborative class story or used independently. You may wish to print the completed story or publish it online. Some blank backgrounds have been provided or you can insert your own.

For best results, create a copy for each student or add the presentation to a shared folder. Run the presentation outside of Slide Show mode to use the interactive elements. This assessment is also suitable for students in Year 1 and Year 2.

Learning goals

  • We are learning to create and edit short written texts to record and report ideas and events using capital letters, punctuation and correct spelling of CVC words.
  • We are learning to construct texts using software including word processing programs, e.g. MS Word.
  • We are learning to create, re-read and edit short written and multimodal texts to report on a topic, express an opinion or recount an event using capital letters, punctuation and correct spelling.
  • We are learning to use software, e.g. MS Word to construct texts and add images.
  • We are learning to create short imaginative, informative and persuasive multimodal texts using text structures, language and grammatical features appropriate to the audience and purpose.
  • We are learning to use software, e.g. MS Word or PowerPoint to construct texts which include visual and audio elements.
  • We are learning to recognise and explore digital systems.
  • We are learning to identify and explore digital systems.
  • We are learning to follow and describe algorithms.
  • We are learning to follow, describe and represent a sequence of steps and decisions (algorithms) needed to solve simple problems.
  • We are learning to use the basic features of common digital tools to create, locate and communicate content.
  • We are learning to use the basic features of common digital tools to share content and collaborate, guided by trusted adults.
  • We are learning to access our school account with a recorded username and password.
  • We are learning to create and organise ideas and information using information systems independently, with a known adult.
