Term 3 - Storage Devices

Term 3 - Storage Devices


Statement of Inquiry:

Data storage has evolved through technological advances in the medium of storage devices.


Introduction:

We use storage devices a lot. They are part of our everyday lives. We can only save files on our computer because of storage devices. Storage devices are a very essential part of the computer. There are different types of storage devices. There are storage devices which are internal and external. Internal storage devices are built in the computer for example: Hard Disk and there are external storage devices like: USB, which can be removed if needed.


Global Context: 
Information Literacy: 
My research skills will help in creating the booklet because since the target audience is grade 7 students, the research will have to be easy to understand for both the audience and the writer. The words that we use and the keywords that we find would need to be easy to understand. If there are words that we have to use that is not easy to understand but they are needed then I would have that in bold and write the definition of that word at the bottom of the page that the students can refer to.
Communication:
The presentation of this booklet would need to be easy to read and it needs to have a balance of images and text. I will have equal amount of pictures and text. The font will not be in a different font style. It will be Arial or Times New Roman, which is easy to read.




Task:

Target Audience: Grade 7 Students
