AT User student can take an intrinsic part of the
school talent show. Whether that be introducing
the acts through a communication aid, or looking
after the special effects. Here a Student can
control the Background pictures for the
show as other students perform.”

Activity Steps
1. Check the acts and scripts and design a slide
show around this.
2. Connect the Projector, Computer, Hitch and
Step-by-Step to the Big Red (It’s important at
this time to connect the Big Red to the correct port on the Hitch and assign the Hitch to
the correct function for changing the slides).
Record the introduction of acts on to the Stepby-Step.
3. The AT user can now use the Step-by-Step to
introduce the acts and the Big Red to change
the slide show at the appropriate time. These
tasks could be split and done by two learners if
more appropriate.
Script
The Script really depends on the acts taking part, but
examples could be:
“Let’s all Welcome on Stage _______ who’s going to
perform for you a song called ________”
“Let’s all give a big hand in appreciation for a great
song there by _______”
