These work samples form part of the assessment map for Information and Communications Technology (ICT). Other parts of the ICT assessment map can be accessed by using the menu on the right side of the screen.
The ICT Level 2 standards describe what students should know and be able to do at this level.
The assessment task which generated this work sample was designed to give students the opportunity to demonstrate achievement of selected elements of the standard. The work sample illustrates progress towards, but does not fully demonstrate achievement of, the selected elements of the standard.
Students were asked to create a poster about a story they had read. The poster should encourage other students to read the book. As a class, the students chose to use desktop publishing software to complete the task. Students were required to insert an image of the front cover of their book. These images had been scanned by the teacher and students were required to retrieve the relevant image for their poster.
The element of the Information and Communications Technology Level 2 standard addressed by the task is:
(Students) manipulate text, images and numeric data to create simple information products for specific audiences.
These work samples, and the related ICT 1.75 progression point examples, illustrate the kinds of responses that students produce as they progress towards Level 2.
Two samples are provided; the first part shows the student’s work prior to making changes to improve the appearance of the poster; the second part shows the modified poster.
This work is the student’s first effort. After printing the poster the student reviewed the work and made modifications, which are shown in part 2.

Information and Communications Technology – 1.75
Part 2 – Why Cinderella
After reviewing the first effort as shown in part 1, the student made two changes in an effort to improve the appearance of the poster.
