Students create their own video / Audio (2-3 minutes), after writing a script. Before they decide on a
format, the following elements can be taken into consideration:
● Theme/topic of the audio / video. Would the child like to pick an issue that is there on the chapter or
an extension of it?
● What are the elements that need to be part of the script?
● Will the video/audio have an interview with one or more guests?
● Would they prefer to improvise while chatting with guests, or work from a script?
● How would they present the script/report to the teacher, e.g. Can it be in the form of a narrative?
