USING PRINT MEDIA TO EDUCATE THE MASSES
Guiding Question “How can we use print media to address issues in our community”
AOI
APPROACHES TO LEARNING (ATL) - Through Approaches to learning, we aim to help students understand how they learn, know and communicate their understanding. Each course helps students:
Strengthen their oral and written communication skills
Become effective researches by asking good questions
HEALTH AND SOCIAL EDUCATION - This area of interaction deals with key aspects of development leading to complete and healthy lives. It encompasses physical, social and emotional health and intelligence. The aim is to develop in students a sense of responsibility for their own well-being and for their physical and social environment. In particular, the exploration of this area in the subject groups allows students to discuss and reflect on the following aspects of health:
Physical Psychological Sociological Economic legal
AK Strand -Governance
Leading Qualities (core leadership qualities)
a disposition towards finding innovative solutions to challenges
a critical awareness of individual rights and responsibilities within a society
Identity and Citizenship
an ability and willingness to participate in projects which involve real solutions to real problems, leading to critical reflection on goals achieved and the comparison of different perspectives on the issues
PROBLEM
There many issues happening in our communities and the awareness levels are minimal or not present at in some cases. Currently the media we have is not issue specific but presents multiple aspects. The publishers prefer this approach because of the economic demands. Selling is profitable when presented to multiple audiences. Some of the media used are not portable such as videos while others are not accessible such as internet. The print media is portable and it can be revisited several times, even in remote locations. However what is present is multiple issues in a single print media. Moreover the youth are not proactive in addressing issues in their community.
CHALLENGE
Research on an issue in the society and explore how it is being addressed. Design a print media to create awareness and to engage the readers on the issue at hand. Use video, website, power point presentation and online collaboration to inform/advertise the community about your print media. Follow the design cycle.
The design folder should be presented as a booklet with table of contents, page numbering and the correct organization of the design cycle. After the magazine is done, the various forms of representation should advertise your magazine. The magazine is 8 paged on 2 A3 papers back to back.
Time Line – 12 weeks
