Stratford School - The Process Day1

Students revisited some of the ideas discussed in December 2006 and were given a number of objectives for the day.

To identify stereotypes about young people.
To identify the sources of those views.
To identify people’s hopes, aspirations and true identity.
To analyse images communicating views about young people.
To develop technical skills.

A wide raging discussion followed with key points recorded on to A4 sheets to be used later to develop slogans/statements to be incorporated in to the images.
The rest of the day involved the students in a series of skills workshops - notes from discussion used to develop ideas for final pieces.
