Year 7 - Creating and Advert for your Campaign using Powtoon

Today I would like you to use a website called Powtoon to create an advert for your trainers. You may remember using this before but I have made a tutorial for you below if you want some more help:

Things to include in your advert:

• Your logo, picture of trainers, price and slogan
• A good voice over
• Music
• Animation
• Slick changes between 'slides'
• No wasted time

You have over 3 weeks to work on this project so do not rush, take your time and make every part of your advert perfect.

Year 7: Work for this week

 

1. Finish your 3 trainers and questionnaire
2. Summarise the findings of the questionnaire on your PowerPoint
3. Create a Special Edition Trainer based upon the feedback you received
4. Now get AT LEAST 10 people in the class to look at you 4 trainers and vote for their favourite
5. Make a graph/Pie Chart to show these results on your PowerPoint

 

Create a Promotional Poster of your number 1 design to include:

• A new logo (not Nike)
• Name of Company
• Price
• Name of Shoe
• Available colour schemes

 

Market Research

Once you have completed the Logo Review task, you should begin the 'Market Research' task that I presented to you at the start of the lesson. The PowerPoint presentation can be found by clicking on the link below:

Market Research Task

Once you have pasted your 3 designs onto your PowerPoint, you must complete some Market Research on your product. Here are some questions you may wish to consider:

• Which is your favourite design?
• Why?
• How much would you pay for your favourite design?
• Would you wear these as a fashion item or for sport?

Now you need to write 5 questions for your research (use mine or make some of your own). You must ask these questions to at least 5 members of the form (must be at least 1 boy and girl). You should make a note of their answers and then summarise the results on a final slide on your PowerPoint presentation.

 

Year 7 - Walk this Way

This term, we will be completing a project where we design a pair of trainers. In addition to this, we will be designing a company logo, creating adverts for our product and slogans for our advertising campaign.

Take a screenshot of your completed quiz (by pressing 'PrtScr') and then paste it onto a Word document in your ICT folders.

Once you have completed the quizzes, use the sheet from Mr Bidwell to complete a review on different logos.

Year 7 - Scratch Project for Last 4 Lessons

Download this Project Planning document by clicking on the link below:

PLAN

You should complete the plan for the project in the lesson today and save it into your ICT folders. If you finish the plan, you may start your Scratch project. The last 3 lessons of term will be spent completing the project. You should try to design a game or an animated story.

Try to use all of the skills that you have learned by completing the tutorials over the last week.


 

Year 7: Preparation for your Scratch Project

You have 2 lessons to complete as many of the word tutorials that are in the folder named below:

W:\Professional Studies\Professional Studies\ICT\KS3\2.Spring\Year 7 Spring 2 - Sequencing\Tutorials

Once you have completed each tutorial, you should save the scratch file in your ICT folder (in a new folder called 'Scratch').

Year 7 - Sequencing

Today we are starting a new topic called 'Sequencing' and will be focussing on Flowcharts. The PowerPoint and Flowchart document that Mr Bidwell went through in the lesson can be found below (if you need help):

Once you are happy with the concepts, you can work your way through the following tasks. Before starting each one, you should download the file to a 'Sequencing' folder in your ICT folders:

Task 1
Task 2
Task 3
Task 4
Task 5
Task 6
Task 7


In Mr Livesey's lesson you will be completing the task below. Be sure to have finished all of the tasks above before attempting this though:

Task 1

Year 7 - Build your own Database using Microsoft Access

Your task for the next 4 lessons is to build your own database using Access. Ideas for your database could include:

• Your favourite films, music, games
• FIFA Ultimate Team Database
• Countries of the World
• Animals

Watch my demonstration carefully. The first 2 lessons will be about building a database. Next week we will be using the data to create 'forms'.

HELPFUL TIP No. 1: Think carefully about the fields you want to create for example, for 'Countries of the world' the fields I might create would be:

• Name
• Population
• Continent
• Flag
• Neighbours
• Capital City

HELPFUL TIP No. 2: When you create a new field, think carefully about the data that will be displayed. You must choose from text, attachments (if you want a picture), currency, date etc.
