ICT PROJECT

This piece of ICT work can be carried out:

  • in school, used by a teacher as part of a lesson / homework
  • by individual students or by groups of up to 4 students
  • supervised by a teacher in school or carried out by students at home. So you can 'have a go' yourself, or tell your teacher and see if you can work on the project as part of your work at school!

The project is designed mainly for Years 7 to 9, but older or younger students may enter. Winning entries will be displayed on the Global Eye News website.

The Brief - what you have to do:

'Focus on' looks at urbanisation. The issue of pressures on city life and how they are managed are covered in the case studies. These raise important points about the urban economy and globalisation.

To complete this ICT brief you have to:

  • design a leaflet describing and illustrating city life in developing countries

  • make sure your leaflet is a minimum of one or maximum of two folded sheets of A4

  • design your leaflet for your own age group students, using suitable text and images

  • use a desk top publishing and/or word processing package to produce your leaflet

  • show evidence of personal research (you will need to list the sources you use on the entry form

  • make sure your leaflet is clear and well designed, containing a range of text and visual material e.g. photos, maps, diagrams

  • remember that it must be YOUR work, based on research - not just copied text and images! Think about adding labels to explain any images you use and adapting text so it can be easily understand.

ENTRY FORM
Entries are welcomed from students working in their own time or in school. Students may attempt the project on their own, or in a group with up to three other students. ALL entries must be accompanied by a completed copy of the entry form, counter-signed by a teacher at the students' school.

This form should be completed by a teacher at the students' school and sent with the entry. This is required to verify that students currently attending the school have made the entry and that it is, to the best of the teacher's knowledge, the work of the student or students. This enables students who have undertaken this project out of school and students working in school (during curriculum time/as a set homework etc) to enter the competition.

The best entries will be displayed on the Global Eye News website. The school department submitting what is, in the judges' opinion, the best presentation will receive will win a 'Making Music on the Line' video and audio CD and the student(s) will win the 'Making Music on the Line' audio CD.

The closing date for entries is 8 December 2000.

Please print out this form, fill in your details and post with two printed copies of your completed entry to:
