What this practises: telling the difference between personal information that can be shared carefully and private information that must be kept safe, understanding that posting online leaves a digital footprint, and following simple rules for sharing photos. Pupils then plan and write a short club profile for a real kind of audience, organised into an introduction, middle paragraphs and an ending, so Steps 4 and 5 are real literacy evidence.
Print: this sheet, one per pupil, and the stimulus sheet “Swimmer of the Month: Mali’s profile”, one between two. No computers are needed. Pupils write about Mali, not about themselves.
Run: 5 min read the stimulus sheet aloud · 10 min Step 1 · 6 min Step 2 · 6 min Step 3 · 10 min Step 4, talk with a partner then make notes · 18 min Step 5 · 3 min read back and tick the checklist. Total 58 minutes.
Collect: this sheet. Steps 4 and 5 are the literacy evidence (a plan made from talk, then a profile with an introduction, paragraphs in a sensible order and an ending, written for club families and younger swimmers). Steps 1, 2 and 3 are the digital competence evidence. Quick checks: OK to share: facts 1, 3, 4, 5, 11, 12, 14; keep private: 2, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 13; never share with anyone except a parent or carer: 13 (password); best photo: B, with a parent or carer’s permission.
Mali has been chosen as Swimmer of the Month. Her profile will go on the club’s public web page. Mali has written down lots of facts, but some of them are private. You will decide what is safe to share, choose a safe photo, then plan and write Mali’s profile for the club’s families and younger swimmers.
Read Mali’s 14 facts. Write each number in the right box.
| OK to share on the club page | Keep private |
|---|---|
Which fact should Mali never share with anyone except a parent or carer, not even a friend? Why?
(a) The page is public. Who could read it?
(b) Look at fact 10. Why would it be unsafe for a stranger to know this?
(c) Next year Mali changes her mind and wants the profile taken down. Why might her information still be online?
Look at photos A, B, C and D. Which photo is best? Give 2 reasons. Who must Mali ask first?
Choose one other photo and say why it should not go online.
Talk with your partner about what Mali’s profile should say. Then make notes in the plan. Use only the facts that are OK to share.
Audience (who will read it):
Purpose (why it is written):
| Part | My notes |
|---|---|
| Introduction: who Mali is and why she is Swimmer of the Month | |
| Paragraph 2: her swimming: favourite stroke, what she achieved, how she got better | |
| Paragraph 3: healthy habits and her big goal | |
| Ending: a message for younger swimmers |
Write Mali’s profile in 3 or 4 short paragraphs, following your plan. Write as if you are Mali (“I”). Use linking words such as first, at the start, after that, now, also and finally.
