A2 Media & Communications

Step-1
Originate and explore a range of ideas (4-5) for a radio play.
Step-2
Having come up with these ideas, you should do some basic research into each of these ideas to see which might be worth developing further. The research should be as follows:
–1-2 pages of research for each idea
–A very brief questionnaire as to which ideas have the most potential (you should be able to talk about the results in your presentations)
Step-3
Each idea with accompanying research will be brought into class to discuss with me (Mr.S) and your peers; to give you feedback and provide you with constructive criticism. Please remember: your ideas have to be, ‘sensible and practicable’ (reasonable and realistic).
