Welcome to Section four.

Time to get prepared

The student team task is as follows:

Watch the 2 videos as below:

While watching the videos, write down ideas that you would use instead of the 2 examples. Would you use different clothes? What clothes would you wear and why? What background image should you use? What sounds would you use? How should the people talk?

Poor Example #1:

media type="youtube" key="LJK36mIn44k" height="349" width="560"

Poor Example #2:

media type="youtube" key="HwXpcOrM6eE" height="349" width="560"

Your group will now have to watch the following "Instructional Video". Pay attention to the following details: Clothes, Images used, How the words are spoken, What words are used, What sounds are added and How can "text" be used to help convey the message.

You may need to watch the video a few times. Take note of the presenter's questions as this will help guide you in the next task.

Now onto your Team Task.

You will now research your Team city name and answer the following questions:

Where is my city located in the world? What Natural Disasters have affected my city? What Natural Disasters might affect your city in the future? Why do you think this might happen? How could your city prepare for these disasters? What should people do if one of the Natural Disasters took place?

Your team will then produce a media broadcast for the people of your city. You may choose to do a news report like the examples above, or you can choose to do a radio broadcast, or a full page newspaper article.

Student Tools: You can use iMovie, Audacity or Microsoft Publisher. If you would like to use a different software to complete your task, please speak with your teacher to see if the software is available and suitable. A video will need to be about 2 minutes long. A radio broadcast will also need to be 2 minutes long. Newspaper reports must follow Newspaper formats, as seen on the below image, with columns, images and different stories that all come together under the one topic.



You can also reflect back on the Wallwisher for our Natural Disaster topics to collect information for your project. Which topics are relevant to your Team City?

You may also need to search other websites to collect extra information that was not already found. Re-read the questions of your task. Make sure you look for information relating to all the topics.
