Today pupils were creating news report on stories that interested them. This ranged from the local Eastleigh elections to gay marriage and the new royal baby.
My session was getting pupil to create radio reports using Audacity software.
In the previous session pupils had come up with a list of interview questions for other pupils and teachers on their topic. They had also written the script for their report.
The first part of the session had pupils out and about around school interviewing and recording their pieces. The second half involved editing their audio clips.
Having not used Audacity before I had a 20 minutes crash course the night before. Pupils were shown how to import, trim and layer audio clips.
Some of the finished products were very entertaining. They showed clear research, had other pupils' views included and in some cases a bit of humour.
