Subject: Information Communication Technology ICT
Lesson Topic: Be able to wrap text around a table, chart or image including above, below, square and tight
Learning Objective/s:
  • Describe the four text‑wrap styles (Above, Below, Square, Tight) and their typical uses.
  • Apply each wrap style to a table, chart, or image in a word‑processing document.
  • Adjust wrap distance and evaluate the visual result for readability.
  • Explain common mistakes and how to avoid them when wrapping text.
Materials Needed:
  • Computer lab with word‑processing software (e.g., Word or Google Docs)
  • Projector and screen
  • Sample document containing a table, chart, and image
  • Worksheet with practice tasks and checklist
  • Printed handout summarising wrap styles and tips
 Introduction:
Begin with a quick visual of a newspaper page where images are tightly wrapped around text, asking students how the layout affects readability. Recall that they have already learned how to insert objects into a document and why layout matters. Today they will demonstrate how to choose and apply the appropriate wrap style and will be assessed using a checklist.
Lesson Structure:
  1. Do‑Now (5'): View a slide showing four wrap examples and note which looks most professional. (Engagement)
  2. Mini‑lecture (10'): Explain each wrap style, show the comparison table, and discuss typical uses. (Knowledge)
  3. Guided demonstration (12'): Instructor inserts an image, walks through selecting each wrap style, adjusting distance, and previewing the result. (Skill)
  4. Pair practice (15'): Learners use the worksheet to apply each wrap style to a given table, chart, and image, checking their work against the assessment checklist. (Application)
  5. Common mistakes review (5'): Discuss pitfalls and have pairs correct a deliberately flawed example. (Clarification)
  6. Formative check (8'): Exit ticket – students write a scenario for each wrap style and one adjustment they would make. (Assessment)
Conclusion:
Summarise that selecting the correct wrap style improves document flow and visual appeal, and that adjusting wrap distance prevents cramped text. For the exit ticket, each student records one appropriate wrap style for a given object scenario. Homework: create a one‑page flyer using at least two different wrap styles and bring it to the next class.
