Grade 6 – Ecotourism Project
All the Grade 6 English classes are doing a major project based around using technology to market an Ecotourism business. They have been researching the topic over the last week or so to choose a location and define what exactly will make up their business. Now they are starting to decide on and create their marketing materials using the MacBooks.
They have all been given the choice of whether to create a double-sided brochure using Apple’s Pages document creation software, a presentation in PowerPoint or a website using iWeb. They have used all this software before in ICT lessons so the focus here is on using templates for the majority of the design allowing the students to concentrate on their English text, sentence structure and how to write effective copy.
See below for a gallery of the students all working hard on their different Ecotourism projects:
Grade 7 – French Boutique Websites
In grade 7 French the students have been designing and creating clothing store websites using iWeb. They spent several lessons writing their French text descriptions for all the clothing objects, as well as introduction text, in their notebooks. They then used the iMac lab on the 6th floor and Apple’s iWeb web design software to create their website designs, type out their text and insert pictures and graphics.
All the different websites can be viewed at http://oberoigrade7french.site44.com and there is a gallery of the students in action below:
G4 SB: Using graphs to display data visually
Grade 4SB created bar graphs using the given data on the daily information. They learnt how to choose the graphs for the particular data, assessing their advantages as it allows them to compare the criteria visually & arrive at easy interpretations. In the process they created the axes, labeled them, decided on the intervals and scale to be used.

Grade 8 – French Cooking Blog
In Ms. Priya’s grade 8 French class we created a cooking blog using Tumblr. For the first two lessons the students were split into groups of three and had to develop a French recipe. Each was then typed out and written in French as a blog post with photos. For the second lesson the students brought in the ingredients they needed and filmed a cooking-style TV show demoing how to create their recipe. Again all in French.
You can check out the blog at http://oisgrade8french.tumblr.com
