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. Resources in the pack - 28 pages: 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.
