In this unit pupils work in small groups to prepare a printed newspaper. They gather, process and output information in text and image form and explore a variety of image-capture and image-manipulation methods to create suitable image data. They learn to develop strategies of group working, including data sharing across networks.
There are opportunities for links with English when pupils develop the text for the newspaper. Links could also be made to other subjects when choosing the topics for the articles,
eg the weather, sport. The newspaper could be produced in another language, providing opportunities to collaborate with the modern foreign languages department.
Note: in some areas the local press are happy to assist or contribute to such activities. It may also be possible to integrate this task within a single 'activity week'.
This unit is expected to take approximately 7 hours.
