News Report

In your groups you are to present a short news story which reports on the Soweto Uprising.
Conduct research in preparation for this via the following tabs on this blog:

• Useful Links
• The Soweto Uprising
• Video

You are to allocate roles within your group and script a report. Once this is completed, film your news report with the flip cameras provided. Once you have then edited these, I will post your videos to this page.

Next lesson will watch these as a class and provide peer assessment.

Discussion Questions.

There are two parts to your task.

• Firstly, in your groups read through the discussion topics below and choose one that appeals to your group. Discuss your ideas and post your group's responses as a comment. 
• Secondly, once all groups have submitted their discussion findings, collaborate as a group and respond to at least one other group's post. Do you agree or disagree with their opinions? Build on each others contributions and responses.
