Year 3

Lesson 3 Great template!

Curriculum > KS2 > Unit > Lesson

In this lesson, pupils will look at the role of an editorial designer, being the person who is responsible for putting content together. Learners will be introduced to the terms 'templates', 'orientation', and 'placeholders' within desktop publishing software. The learners will create their own magazine template, which they will add content to during the next lesson. This lesson has been designed on a laptop using Canva and this is reflected in the slides. Teachers may decide to use Canva, or other software such as Microsoft Publisher.
