Before you begin your project, you must plan what you are going to do.

  • Paste your lotus plan into your visual diary
  • Use each of the headings in your lotus square and give a little more detail to each of the headings eg. transport, what happened, where they went, etc.
  • Think about how you are going to present your project eg. voicethread, powerpoint, video, podcast, cartoon, interview, guest speaker
  • Think about what you are going to include in your presentation to create some audience interaction eg. quiz, media conference, question and answer time, etc
  • Write down all your ideas, even if not all of them come about.
  • Book an appointment with Ms Murnane to share your plan and discuss it, before you go ahead and begin work on it.
