Change Domain

A recipe for a target audience

This sample illustrates how a particular task can be used to illustrate achievement in more than one domain as seen in Information and Communications Technology Level 4. It also illustrates variations in achievement across domains.

Context

Students were asked to create for a target audience (Year 2 students), an information product that showed the stages involved in making a food product, in this instance, a cheeseburger. They were also expected to present before the target audience.

Students discussed ways of communicating with particular audiences and were asked to consider the suitability of their presentation for the target audience.

Students were familiar with the software (PowerPoint or Publisher) prior to undertaking the task. They were required to select and insert images from a school data bank that they thought best supported the text and best suited their audience.

The element of the Presenting Level 5 standard addressed by the task is:

… students use communication conventions, forms and language appropriate to the subject to convey a clear message across a range of presentation forms to meet the needs of the context, purpose and audience.

Sample

This work sample, and the related Communication 4.5 domain progression point examples, illustrate the kind of response that students produce as they progress towards the Level 5.
