Year 6 - on to the Design.

Today and Monday using paper and pencil (colored pencils/crayons/markers) you will create 2 designs on paper.

Let's

• design 2 possible cereal boxes
• evaluate against your design specification (Example: Design 1 meets my design specification because it: )
• choose 1 design (Example: I choose design 1 because . . .)
• write a paragraph to say why you chose it.

To get a 5-6: The student generates two complete detailed  designs and selects one with several reasons. The student attempts to explain how his/her design meets his/her specifications.

REMEMBER: all your information (information, facts, vocabulary, crossword puzzle, wordsearch, pictures, illustrations, rules, advice, etc.) AND your first name and tutor group must fit on the back of the cereal box.

Year 6, it's settled.  We are going to make "cereal boxes" instead of posters.  It will be Way Cool!

Now, before we begin we need to think about what features our cereal boxes must have or be.  This is called a Design Specification.

Let's complete the worksheet;-)

Year 6, what is advertising? According to Wikipedia, "Advertising or advertizing  is a form of communication for marketing and used to encourage, persuade, or manipulate an audience (viewers, readers or listeners; sometimes a specific group) to continue or take some new action."  

Let's take this time to do some research on advertising.  Click on each of the links below to explore this topic further:
