=Hi everyone -= Go to the discussion page to reflect on our newsmaking activities this week. Think about how you could use some or all of what we did in a media lesson.

1. Some things to get you started:
 * What year groups is it suitable for?
 * What pre-teaching of skills and knowledge would be needed?
 * What classroom management strategies would you need to have?
 * How would you allocate roles?
 * What would you expect students to learn from the activity?
 * What aspects of the activity would you change? Why?
 * What aspects of the activity would you retain as we did them? Why?

2. Follow-up from the group learning tutorial: Thinking about the Socratic circle and the Jigsaw activities -
 * What types of learning/text and concept exploration would each type of grouping be suitable for?
 * What establishing activities or guidelines would you need to consider for each?
 * What types of follow-up activities could you provide for students so that they consolidate ideas from the Socratic circle?
 * Are there any ways that you would do things differently in your own classes? Why?
