Costa Rica – World Cup 2014
Costa Rica – World Cup 2014
About the project
As part of our exciting curriculum we are embarking on a whole school project that will involve the production of 32 short films to represent the 32 countries participating in this years world cup in Brazil.
Working in small groups and teams, pupils have been given a country to independently research; their job is to gather facts and images then develop a small script which will be spoken over their film.
We will be using the new free Adobe Voice app for iPads which allows the pupils to easily produce short films from their researched content.
