The Eye Wonder team learns how a magazine is planned, designed and printed.
Non-science lesson.
This video has little to offer a science class, but would be excellent for a middle school journalism class.
Introduction: This activity could be used as a post-video project for students to design a school newspaper. It could also work in conjunction with the Eye Wonder Billboards segments to add advertisement.
Materials: depends upon how involved the instructor wants the lesson to be.
Procedure:
1. Have the class discuss how they could create a school newspaper or magazine.
2. Break the class up into different divisions depending upon the types of articles they wish to write or report (sports, fashion, entertainment, news, weather, etc…).
3. Have one group assigned to the layout of the magazine.
You may not have the funds to actually develop a school newspaper, but this could still work to have the class design one to see what it involves.
