Name:
"The History of Darlington Civic Theatre" by Holly and Flo.

Packages Used:
Microsoft PowerPoint

Objectives:

• To use a multimedia authoring program to organise, refine and present a set of linked multimedia pages, which incorporates images, sounds and text, appropriate to meet the needs of a specific audience.

The girls in year 6 have been studying multimedia presentations this term and have been developing their knowledge of PowerPoint.  Throughout the term the girls have been introduced to new skills to help meet the whole unit objective.

This group decided to produce a presentation on Darlington’s Civic Theatre and worked hard together.  They took a section of the presentation and worked on a mini version of the presentation before it was all put together as one and edited.  The girls borrowed digital cameras over the weekend to take photos of the theatre, as well as arranging a visit around the theatre to find out more information in order to enhance their presentation. They worked through several lunchtimes to produce this work with minimum support.  Teamwork was an essential part of this presentation and this is shown by the end result.
