Our resources will help you to create a Pop-Up Newsroom in your school and empower your students to craft meaningful news stories whilst learning vital media literacy skills.
We’ll help you walk students through the process of creating stories – from podcasts to editorial and filmmaking. When students are empowered to tell the stories that interest them – whether that’s local sports, music discoveries, political issues, or their love for waffles – they build a stronger voice in society. What’s more, engaging in news writing fosters communication, critical thinking, empathy, critical reading, imagination, and creativity.
In the Pop-up Newsroom Resources folder in the resources hub, you will find three worksheets to accompany this pack: The Five Ws, Creating a Storyboard and Making a Podcast. Use these to get your students started in creating different types of news stories. You can print them off (printer friendly-versions are available for this pack and all the pop-up newsroom resources) from the resource or you can get your students to copy the instructions onto paper or in their textbooks. Easy!
