Publishing HaSS Research Using Pages in Year 7 and 9


The students in Mrs Strickland's and Mrs Taedwalt-Wren's HaSS classes learned to develop their research in HaSS into visually rich reports using Pages app. After conducting their research via a Google Advanced Search for information and images students used templates such as 'School Report' within Pages to summarise and inform others of their topics such as the mummification process. Many used the place holders for images, title and paragraph text to input their own information using effects such as Edit Mask, Instant Alpha and text wrapping. Further, students learned to input and configure tables for displaying data if relevant to their product using simple sum and average formulas to work efficiently.
