"Create Your Own"
for Grades 5 & 6

Three Media Incursion Programs to Choose From

“Media Fun Day” and “All About Advertising” are specialized media incursion production programs for grade 5 & 6 students.

Each program has 3 activities that all students will rotate through during the incursion day.
Each program requires a small amount of preparation which gives the students a greater sense of ownership of the product they make.
Each class will be provided with an MPEG4 video file of the TV shows and animation.
These can be emailed to families if you choose.

The other program is a full day “Film Making Workshop”.

These hands-on workshops will have your students producing professional looking films in no time!
