Information and Communications Technology Assessment Map – Sample at 3.25
Samples are available for the following tasks:
Identifying cause-and-effect relationships
Context
Students were asked to develop their understanding of the personality of a key character in a book (Maddy) and how these main characteristics and her actions were connected. This task was part of a reciprocal reading activity and involved students using ICT tools to summarise key aspects of the main character of the book in preparation for generating questions to help them draw inferences about the text.
The element of the ICT for visualising thinking Level 4 standard addressed by the task is:
(Students) apply ICT tools and techniques to represent and explore processes, patterns and cause-and-effect relationships.
Sample
The following work sample, and the related ICT 3.25 progression point examples, illustrates the kinds of responses that students produce as they progress towards the Level 4 standard.

B. Inserts images, however, not all directly support corresponding text.
C. Inserts appropriate images, as they represent main points of the book, however, they are not clearly identified for the audience.
