{{ednote|text=Ensure that you have plenty of time for this task to be planned!

You should allow at least half an hour to 45 min.
}}

{{todo|This task needs adapting to include image search and open office -- we should draw on the image sequencing activities from further down the programme, and move this here. [Done, JB]}}

This activity requires one of the following files
* [[File:Monarch Life Cycle.odp]] for OpenOffice Impress or
* [[File:Monarch Life Cycle.ppt]] for MS PowerPoint.
* Alternatively, you can view the pictures here: [[OER4Schools/4.3_Formative_feedback/Monarch_life_cycle|life cycle of a butterfly]] and use your own software for arranging them.

{{activity|Pair work| to download the files.|10}} Start by downloading the presentation files above (or the pictures individually), and look at them. With a grade buddy, use presentation software to arrange and present them in the right sequence. If you have difficulty arranging the slides, read the background note below.

{{background|text=
''Arranging slides in OpenOffice Impress''

When you open a presentation, you see the first slide displayed in a larger window in the middle of the screen. To the left, you see small pictures of all of the slides in the presentation, like a "film strip". To rearrange the slides, you can simply click on a slide with the mouse, and (while holding down the mouse button), drag it to a different position.

'''Typing practice in the classroom.'''

You only have a limited number of computers. When you start typing practice, you can do this in
pairs, so that both students understand how the typing tutor program
works. However, once students get this, it makes sense to do it as an
individual activity. However, students only needs to practice for 10
minutes. Say if you have 12 netbooks, then take a group of 12 students
to do typing practice, while your remaining students (perhaps 20-30 or
so) do other tasks (also in group work). After a while, you rotate:
Some of the students who were doing other tasks now use the typing
tutor, while the students previously doing the typing tutor now join
in with other group tasks. We will introduce
{{activitytag|carousel}}-style group work properly
[[OER4Schools/3.2_Supporting_reasoning_and_managing_groupwork| in session
3.2]].
