<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>We
run Year 9 Media at our school – girls only independent. It’s
called Media to distinguish it from Year 11 Multimedia. We look at the main
types of media – newspapers and magazines, television, film and radio,
and now the internet as well. To start the semester, I get them to use
Photoshop to adjust pictures and photos ready for use in their films or
magazines, so they have a couple of weeks on that. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

– using Adobe InDesign<br>
We start with some discussion on types of newspapers (tabloid, broadsheet,
gutter press) then we look at parts of newspapers – obituary, classified,
features, sport, etc, what impact the newspapers have on people these days,
particularly compared to the use of the internet by teenagers. We look at
magazines and the impact of advertising and pictures on teenagers and the general
public. The girls are then asked to create four pages (they usually run out of
time and create two!) of a magazine. Magazines are much easier for the girls
because they can relate to them more readily than a newspaper! The idea is that
they all use the same master document to create their pages, so that someone
(usually me) can put them together into a book with page numbers and a table of
contents at the front. I get them to write the stories themselves which means
that some may write very short articles and create a big advertisement. Or I
might get the girls who really struggle with words to create front and back
cover and the table of contents. I get them to bring in magazines – they
love that! – to look at for their ideas but the content must be their
own. Being girls, they usually opt for stories about clothes, makeup and music.

write, film and edit a five minute documentary – we enter these into the
Bayside Youth Documentary Film Festival and have terrific support from the film

full day on Tuesday at Sandringham Secondary College where they looked at how
to film, use of lighting, shadow, etc, as well as watch previous docos from
winners in the festival. We use Adobe Premiere Pro for editing but there are
other software programs out there that are less expensive. <br>
