Lower School Media

Hi everyone

I have been thinking on how my teachers continue on with practical media work in years other than 11-12, and came up with this little diddy.

See the attached website:

My plan is to

• communicate home with parents of our students

• select a film or show that fits the course context we are currently running

• Get the class to view it at home

• Send them the audio score/tracking

• Allocate them each a section to recreate

• Get them to do this with their families on any device they can

• Get them to return it via a box of some dropped variety or google docs

• Edit it, and mark on a basic marking key tbc

• View it as a collective when the apocalypse is over

It’s not perfect, but an easy pivot that should get families enjoying the process.

Hope that idea sparks some creativity from teachers!

This is a little bit old (something I put together for a TDS conference a few years ago for people only just starting to offer Media Arts 7-10 at schools), but maybe there are a couple of good ideas for your 7-10 classes to keep them going...

Hi Everyone,

Attached are two tasks for Remote Learning Term 2 if it is of any use to anyone.

Feel free to adapt/change as you wish to suit your school context.

Hey everyone!

Piggy-backing on Tom’s Yr 11 Media Ownership Role-Play, I thought I’d share a similar stand-alone activity I have done with Yr 9 or 10.

I gave them each student different media products/ companies, and they had to go and research who the company is owned by (Wikipedia is a good source), and then the class connect them all up on the whiteboard or on Popplet- see attached image (might need some updating!).

Makes the concept physical and visual, and creates interesting conversations.

Afternoon All,

Attached if the Media Ownership Role-Play activity that I run. They’re just cue cards with ‘Actions’ on them – I would suggest checking and possibly editing this. If you have a small class (10 or less), you can just reduce the number of organisations and networks in the activity 😊

Warm Regards,

Hi ATOMW,

Year 6 visits at my school go for about 30-40 mins, and it's really hard to get the engagement and a fun production.

So. It's a bit of effort and prep work, but the kids remember it for years.

• I often start with an OKGO music video (who doesn't love that?)

• I present the boring bits (high school, subjects, courses).

• Then under each seat is an envelope with a dance moves (prop optional) and a number.

• Outside I place stickers with numbers on them.

• Students must stand on their number and perform their dance move.

• I go around playing Happy by Pharell Williams and record in one take.

• I spend 2 mins editing it in front of them, and we watch.

• I export it for them by the end of their day and they take it back to their primary schools to show at graduation etc.

It's a tonne of fun, and the primary schools really appreciate it too!

Kind Regards,

Madeline Abbott
