Doha Secondary School - YEAR 7 weekly plan

"Introduction to Media & Design" is a 12-week course for Year 7 students.

The purpose of the course is to introduce students to the concept of Imagination and help them understand the innovation process behind modern designs.

The course is mainly project-based, but it also includes a test and short quizzes to check students' understanding.

Do you want to prepare for the upcoming projects and enhance your skills? I will be posting small challenges here as the year goes on.

Task 1: Capture Live Photos. During the break take a "Live Photo" of something you enjoy or find beautiful.

Week 1 - Student-Teacher Introduction

Mixed Media means the integration of various types of media such images, music and text to communicate one idea.

We use software and our

imaginations to combine these elements.

We share digital content on online platforms such as mass communication platforms, social media and websites.

Students are introduced to both the subject and their teacher, understanding the significance of Media &Design and how it connects to real-life scenarios. They become acquainted with the classroom setting and the necessary rules for using the room safely.
