Sample units of work, Levels 1–6
These resources are designed to provide teachers with ideas of how to approach teaching Media Arts in Primary classrooms.
Each sample unit of work is made up of four or five learning activities based around a different type of media artwork (photo story, composite photography, time-lapse photography, radio or podcast recording, documentary). Each of the learning activities includes learning intentions, assessment opportunities, an indication of timing, relevant Victorian Curriculum links, lists of web resources plus any other resources required, and explicit instructions and tips for teachers.
Levels 1 and 2 – Furry friends – a photo story of a school adventure
Levels 3 and 4 – Mind your mind – representing mindfulness through composite photography
Levels 3 and 4 – See change – using time-lapse photography to show change
Levels 5 and 6 – Good morning, you’re listening to … – recording radio show or podcast introductions
