S3 Campus Reporter
Bannockburn High School at Edinburgh University
Please note that Bannockburn High School are closed today (Monday 29 Nov) due to snow so they are unable to go ahead with the event tommorrow. Apologies for any inconvenience caused. The event will be rescheduled for a date in January.
If you would like to sign up for this workshop please email me on claire.aitchison@ed.ac.uk . As this event involves you escorting a small group of pupils around Edinburgh University’s central campus you need to either be a student at the university or be familiar with the campus.
The meeting time is 10.00am at the Meadows Lecture Theatre which is the quadrant behind the McEwan Hall. It is in one of the corners. If for any reason you can't find it on the day just call me on my mobile 07891 371 889. We will have a full briefing before the school arrives. The finish time for the event is 1.00pm but you also have the option to finish after the campus tour around 12.00/12.15. You can decide on the day!
For a summary of the S3 Campus Reporter event please see below;
This is the campus based event where the pupils use hand held video cameras around campus. After the usual ice breaking activity we split the pupils into small teams and set the scene. They are to act as researchers and reporters and will produce a short ‘TV news show’ by the end of the event assisted by you and the LEAPS staff. Each news team has a different ‘angle’ to report on and they use the video camera to record interviews and footage around campus which will be included in the final news show.
After a short break at Potter Row café the pupils return to the base room which is set up like a TV studio – if you use your imagination! The news show is then broadcast with 2 pupils acting as the newsreaders who introduce each clip created by each of the news teams.
Most of the LEAPS team will be involved with this one and so far the following volunteers have signed up;
