Cross Curricular Work - S2 BM and Video Editing

As part of the Dragon's Den project I am doing with my S2 Business Management class, we spent a while looking at the promotion element of the marketing mix. The pupils came up with various different forms of advertising including billboards and magazine adverts and were also given the task of identifying a celebrity and event (e.g. TV programme, sporting event) which they would use to endorse their product.

I wanted to take the idea a bit further this year so spoke to the Computing PT about asking the Video Editing class to get involved in creating TV adverts with the class. The Video Editing class is made up of seniors and they were all very happy to participate. Each Dragon's Den group were allocated two of the Video Editing class who met with their group during lunch time to shoot the TV advert. They then had to go away and were given a two week deadline of preparing a finished advert for the teams to use in their final presentations.

I feel this is great evidence of cross curricular work as well as meeting many of the elements of Curriculum for Excellence.
