You are going to produce a variety of media texts, addressing a specific purpose and audience. In your non-fiction groups, complete the following activity:
First, choose a school activity to follow and report on. This can not be a single event but rather an on-going activity (such as a sports team or band) or an event that had a clear process attached to it (such as a fundraiser that had several planning and execution components or a theatre production from auditions to rehearsals to performance).
You will create and maintain a blog to report on the school activity or the "behind the scenes" process of the activity or event.
You will be given opportunities to use the school video camera to film the events and interview key participants. Your editied video will be posted (with appropriate permission) to youtube and linked to from your blog.
When complete, you will send your blog's URL from hotmail (an address to be given to your group) to the school staff so that they can see your on-going reporting of in-school activities and send you feedback.
This is a large and complex assignment which we will devote much more time in class discussing but I hope your wheels are turning about the possibilities and that you are getting excited about getting started!
