Year 8: Promotional and Advertising Campaign

This term we will be working on a promotional and advertising campaign based on an idea of your choice, something we have covered in ICT this year or a current event/product (I'll give you more ideas later):

Here is what you need to produce over the next 6 weeks:

Mandatory:

• Presentation (PowerPoint or Prezi)
• Poster (use format of your choice but you may wish to try Piktochart )

Optional (choose 2 from the following):

• PowToon
• Radio Advert (Audacity)
• Video (Movie Maker/Premier Pro/iMovie)
• Animation

If you have enjoyed a particular aspect of ICT this year then you could base your project on that. You may wish to use a particular film/celebrity/video game/app etc as the basis of your project

If you are still struggling to think of an idea, you could use one of the following as a theme:

• Music Festival(s)
• The Rugby World Cup (starts in September and hosted by England)
• A new governing body for Football (to take over from FIFA)

The theme of your project is not the most important thing. It is the quality of the 4 pieces of work that you produce over the next 6 weeks that count. You will be asked to present your campaign in the last week of term and show the class what you have done.

You can work in pairs or on your own. If you are working in pairs, you need to make sure that BOTH PEOPLE ARE WORKING. It would also be a good idea to save work in both of your documents so that the work can continue if one of you is absent.

The important thing is to take your time and make sure that the work you produce is of the highest quality. Remember you have 6 weeks to complete these tasks!

Finally, I am thinking of emailing your work at the end of the project to your parents to show them what you have done. Make sure it's good!
