PRESS DAY - A Whole School, All-Day Event

Press Day, (Making the News)

To give all your students the whole day to practice and show their communication skills, conduct research, use language, write specifically, work in a team and build confidence.

This whole-day event aims to actively engage students in using their learning.

Engaging in the process is key, NOT the outcome!

Critical thinking, creativity, and working to a deadline are key elements that students can experience.

Every student will have opportunities to take on responsibility and support other students.

Covers every aspect of tabloid & broadsheet newspaper production.

SUPPORT FILES:
Job descriptions & checklists for every newspaper job;
Journalist
Photographer
Editor
Layout Artist
Marketing (Ads)

Info sheets:
Press Vocabulary
Research docs
Comprehensive ‘How to’ for students
Staff support info

STAFF:
You can have a lot of fun adopting a character and role-playing, in response to answering the ±persuasive questions of students, or not!

I could come to your school and do this as CPD to take staff through the process, or lead the day with your students at your school.

1 A3 paper folded in half gives 4 A4 sides to fill with news, per newspaper group. This should be enough of a challenge.

PLEASE READ:
This event has been successfully run in 2 of my former schools with great engagement and fun for both staff and students.

Backed by Media degree and press experience, in the UK and abroad.
