On air!
Number of people: small /medium groups of 6-20 participants are best purely because of the amount of time taken to ‘show back’ to the rest of the group.
Materials: Suitable props can transform this into a full lesson activity although with practice, once students know what is expected of them, the activity can be completed relatively quickly.
Time: 15 minutes
Overview: A high-energy closing activity to finish on a high after a lesson with a small to medium sized group. Relates best to social studies-type lesson topics as students will be relaying how they will use new skills information in future.
Directions:
1. Split the class into groups of four and number each member of the group from one to four.
2. Teacher gives each group a main topic from the lesson on which to present a very short news item.
3. Roles are as follows:
Ones: Announces the headline (ie. the particular stage of the cycle/chapter summary/character description that their group will be reporting about). A ‘News at Ten’
gong could be sounded between each headline.
Twos: Reads a summary of the groups ‘news’ (Chapter/sequence stage/character review etc.) in the style of a studio newsreader before handing over to the ‘roving reporter’
Threes: Roving reporter – sits in another part of the room and gives more details on the groups ‘story’ and also interviews the ‘witness’ or ‘subject expert’.
Fours: Witness/subject expert – gives further information to embellish the groups knowledge of the topic.
