Common misconception
Editing always creates the perfect image first time.
Editing images can take time. It may take two or three edits before you are happy with the final image.
Teacher tip
This lesson provides a good opportunity for pupils to review and give feedback to each other. For the reviewing activity, you could get pupils to give feedback to each other, rather than just self review.
