They want to advertise Christmas music for downloading

Save screenshots of the searches and the images you found

Store details of what you found in a table showing which websites the images came from and whether they are copyright or not (what does copyright mean?)

Challenge 2

Find out how much the other download sites are charging for these songs

Store these songs in a table and show which websites they came from

Welcome to Mr Hartleys OCR Unit 1 Blog

Hi everyone,

I have set this blog up to make homeworks and special projects a little more interesting and accessible to everyone.

I will publish examples of work and also invite you to do the same
__________________________________________________________________

Your first challenge

Find examples of good business newsletters and business documents. Explain why they are suitable and why they "work" for that particular business.

Create your own blog at http://www.blogspot.com/

Sign in using your school email address e.g. xxxxxx@leedslearning.net

Post me a comment on my blog with your blog address
__________________________________________________

An example: Trading Standards

This works because they have used a consistent colour scheme (blue and yellow) and they have also shown examples of the business cards they are promoting as images

The contents are also listed down the left hand side

The date and issue number are important so the reader knows the information is up to date

Have fun finding good examples like this

Mr H
