Summary

In phase 1 pupils respond to instructions and explain how to use the tools used in the last two lessons.

Pupils should be shown how and where to locate their earlier poster design. Briefly revise how to use some of the tools used in the previous session so that the children have a final opportunity to amend their designs if they so wish. After all groupings are happy with their poster they are now ready to find out how to print it.
