Introduction
You have been accepted on ‘The Apprentice Show’ run by Mr Slough in Small Heath School. Mr Slough needs an Apprentice to join him in achieving and improving the best for Small Heath School. If you win you will be given a ‘Life Time Achievement Award’ and will work closely with Mr Slough through out your School Career.
To show your excellence you will need to complete this Project to the best of your ability in order to become the Apprentice of Mr Slough.
1.1 I can identify the advantages of using IT for the task.
Task 1
Three English rooms in Upper School need a re-vamp. It would be a good idea to make a plan of this using the ‘Insert Shapes Menu’ in Microsoft Word.
A new setting would need to be created. Taking your role as a ‘Mini Architect’ you will need to look at the shapes menu below:
Task 2
You need to write an email to Miss Page about the new plans for the English department. Fill in the box below, saying what things you have to do before you email or post the letter:
|Sending an Email to Miss Page |Writing a Letter to Miss Page |
Which statement applies to the above?
Now answer which one is better and why?
Email is better why? Because it’s faster and the person you give it to will receive it quickly. A letter you need to write what you want also you need a stamp and there address. It will take time to come to your house. So for me I will send things on email .
Task 3 – Copy and Paste or Using a Pen and Paper
OR
Copy and Paste the text below:
Small Heath School and Sixth Form Centre
Small Heath School and Sixth Form Centre
Why is Copy and Paste better then using a Pen and Paper?
Copy and paste is better because you can write quickly and you can like get pictures from clip art instead of writing in pen or draw in pencil.
Task 4

Task 2 – Someone needs to give Feedback
Someone will need to give feedback on the plan you have created below:
What they think of your Plan:
It is really good because it is done nicely and it is easier for the teacher to see what you are doing. But maybe it should be spaced out

Looking at the feedback, how will you improve your Plan?
Need more space to make my plan better!
