Content Standard	3.1.1.CS.1
Learning Indicator(s)	3.1.1.LI.2 - Develop and use essential skills to communicate information using presentation software and desktop publishing tools
Lesson Focus	Develop and use essential skills to communicate information using presentation software and desktop publishing tools
Previous Knowledge	Learners recall related ideas, vocabulary or experiences from earlier lessons and everyday contexts.
Lesson Objective(s)	Describe the key idea in: Develop and use essential skills to communicate information using presentation software and desktop publishing tools Apply the idea through guided and independent learning activities. Demonstrate understanding through oral responses, written work or practical performance.
Essential Question(s)	What ICT skill, system or responsible-use principle is central to Develop and use essential skills to communicate information using presentation software and desktop publishing tools?

Pedagogical Strategies	Demonstration and Guided Practice Hands-on ICT Practice Collaborative Learning Problem-Based Learning Digital Citizenship Project-Based Learning
Teaching & Learning Resources	Computer(s) where available Projector/TV where available ICT reference materials Whiteboard/markers Learners' notebooks Word processor/spreadsheet/presentation software Sample multimedia documents
Key Notes on Differentiation
Content	Provide step-by-step task cards, screenshots, partially completed files or diagrams for learners who need support. Extend advanced learners with additional features, troubleshooting, automation or more complex user requirements.
Process	Use shared-device rotation and paired roles where devices are limited, while ensuring every learner performs the target skill. Use offline simulations/printed interfaces where connectivity is unavailable without changing the objective.
Product	Use evidence such as multimedia documents, spreadsheets/presentations, online-communication tasks, network designs, security plans or short technology evaluations. Assess functionality, accuracy, responsible use, security/safety, organisation and ability to justify tool choices.
Success Criteria	Learners use correct subject vocabulary. Learners complete the main task with reasonable accuracy. Learners explain or demonstrate how the concept applies in a new situation.
Homework	Complete a short application task connected to the week's learning indicator.
