Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

- Show the images/'smileys' on a mobile phone.
- Working in groups, let learners use the computer to search for these smiley/images. (The ICT teacher can guide learners by showing the appropriate icon to help them explore these).
- Have learners draw their own pictures and write sentences to explain them.
e.g. a drawing showing fruits can have a sentence such as "Eat fruits every day; Fruits have vitamin C; Fruits protect your body."
- Guide learners to do self and peer editing (The products can be transferred on to a manila card and posted on the walls in the classroom) to be appreciated and critiqued. The document prints a further bullet under this indicator with no text beside it; it is dropped here.
