3.3 Demonstrate to pupils, as necessary, how to change colours and fonts. Focus pupils on the task, which is to use appropriate colours and fonts to match the purpose and audience of the presentation. Encourage pupils to consider how they made decisions about text and images in the previous two lessons.

Pupils working at levels 3–4 usually have little difficulty changing colours and fonts. However, they may not base their selection on the needs of the presentation or the audience. They may need more guidance on the fitness for purpose of their selections. As they are working on their presentations, identify a small group of pupils to work with. Probe their understanding of the need to consider audience and purpose by asking these questions about decisions they have made.

Pupils working at higher levels could be introduced to more technical detail, for example:

·        more complex manipulation of colours and fonts, using the customised colour palette or fill effects;

·        discussion about the differences of projecting on a monitor or large screen and how this would influence their selection of the colours and fonts.
