Kids news

Create news segments on the green screen to develop news literacy, reporting and interview skills. Students will also learn about the technology behind digital backgrounds and the role of a responsible reporter.

Students will:

• work in small groups to deliver their own news program
• develop reporting and interview skills
• consider the difference between primary and secondary sources, and expert opinions
• understand the ethical responsibilities of a reporter
• gain insight into how green screens are used
• have their news segmented recorded and edited by ACMI staff

Important information:

In this workshop, students start their day together, before breaking into two groups after recess. Please see 'duration' information in the sidebar for more information.

Links to pre-visit information and post-visit activities will be made available upon booking.
