Pupils
use
ICT

and
to
find
and
use
appropriate
stored
information,
following
straightforward
lines
of
enquiry.
They
use
ICT
to
generate,
develop,
organise
and
present
their
work.
They
share
and
exchange
their
ideas
with
others.
They
use
sequences
of
instructions
to
control
devices
and
achieve
specific
outcomes.
They
make
appropriate
choices
when
using
ICT-based
models
or
simulations
to
help
them
find
things
out
and
solve
problems.
They
describe
their
use

Next Steps
Inconsistencies in writing style would indicate to the teacher that this is not all the pupil's own work, some sections have been copied and pasted directly from the Internet, e.g. "Most rocks were caught in the whirling current turning the water a milky colour; this made the bottom of the crevasse cave in." when compared with "They discovered this out because on the inside they found a thin layer of mushy dirty ice and then a thick level of clean ice." Next steps for this pupil would be to understand the need to firstly acknowledge the copyright of information and secondly to write the information which they have found in their own words.
Avoid underlining headings, as that implies a hyperlink, use bold text instead.
The pupils needs to acknowledge sources of images and information.
With a very little time spent editing this work it could achieve a level 4.
