Putting my name on a class e-book page

DCF: Citizenship → Digital rights, licensing and ownership

What this is

A finished Year 1 activity sheet by an invented pupil, Mali, with notes on what to look for. It is also the answer key: Part 1 ✓ ✓ ✓ ✗ (the kite page has no name); Part 2 sad, happy, happy. Part 3 will be different for every pupil.

Name: Class: Date:

1. Who made each page?

Does the page have a name on it? Tick ✓ or cross ✗.

✓

Our Day at the Beacha big boatby Osian

✓

Our Day at the Beachmy sandcastleby Amira

✓

Jac made the kite page. Trace his name for him.

by Jac

Look for: ticks for Ffion, Osian and Amira, and a cross for the kite page. “Jac” traced with a capital J.

2. Kind or not kind?

Listen. Circle the face.

1Osian copies Ffion’s crab picture. He writes “by Osian” on it.
2Amira asks Ffion, “Can I put your crab in my story?” She writes “by Ffion” under it.
3Jac makes his own kite page and writes “by Jac” on it.
Look for: 1 sad, 2 happy, 3 happy. Ask the pupil why 1 is not kind: “It is Ffion’s picture, not Osian’s.”

3. Make my e-book page

Draw something you see at the beach. Write a label. Write by and your name.

Our Day at the Beach

Label: a big red crab

by Mali

Look for: literacy evidence: the label is written left to right with spaces between words. “big” and “red” are spelt from their sounds, and “crab” is copied from the word bank. The name has a capital first letter and lower case letters after it. A plausible sound spelling such as “krab” still shows the pupil is using letter sounds.

4. Check my page

✓ My name is on my page.

✓ My name starts with a capital letter.

✓ My label has a space between each word.
