Electrical systems: Electric poster

Pupils who are secure will be able to:

• Explain what ‘information design’ is and understand its impact, considering what could happen if we had no signage, posters, or written communication in public places of interest.
• Research and choose a specific Ancient Roman topic on which to base their initial poster ideas.
• Complete design criteria based on a client’s request.
• Roughly sketch four initial poster ideas, indicating where a bulb will be located for each.
• Review their initial ideas against the design criteria and peer feedback, developing a final design.
• Assemble an electric poster, including a functional simple circuit with a bulb, following a demonstration.
• Acknowledge, with a brief explanation, the need to mount the poster using corrugated card.
• Test that the simple circuit works by adding a battery.
• Evaluate their electric posters in a letter to a client.
