Broadcasting
For the second semester, we wanted to challenge the students to develop 21st-century skills while also investigating social issues.
Grade 7
​Grade 7 - The aim was for students to produce a Public Service Announcement on a topic of their choice. Students were introduced to what a PSA is over several lessons before being put into groups, settling on a topic and then researching it until finally putting together a video.
The objective of this topic for Grade 7, was for groups to produce a video that 1) highlighted a particular issue, be it societal, environmental or otherwise and 2) provided practical advice on how to avoid or reduce this issue.
Grade 8
The aim was for the Grade 8 students to produce a mini-documentary on a topic of their choice. The documentary needed to have an educational element for the watcher.
Grade 9
Students were tasked with producing a digital news broadcast, which creatively highlighted an issue of their choice. The teams conducted scientific research into their chosen topic, and then created a creative news broadcast which highlighted the issue and offered possible solutions.
