explaining how we can become members of the Camera App
Church community and how this makes us feel. As
well as this, they will try and identify some of the
people/objects that might be seen when a person
is being Baptised.
2. After they have done this, they then create an
image to accompany their recording using the app. (ACAVAM106) Doodle
Doodle Buddy (also found on the iPad) Buddy App
3. When students have completed this, as a class iMovie App
(with the help of the teacher) they all upload their

Learner Diversity:

Higher Learners As an extension the teacher can ask students what other objects they could
see as part of the baptism
Lower Learners The teacher will provide students with an object from the mystery bag that they
can name and describe as being a part of the ceremony of baptism.
Religious Diversity The teacher could assist those students who have not been baptised by
explaining to them what happens and why and then informing them that even though they may
not be baptised, they are still Gods children.
