4º British: BBC History Reporters

As promised, today we have a new task: turn yourselves into BBC-History channel reporters! :)  Besides funny, it could be a great educational activity, don’t you think so?

You have to choose ONE of the following (and already mentioned) topics:

• Irish War of Independence (1919-21) (NAM, Irish History Web & Irish War Web) and Irish Civil War (1922-23) (National Museum of Ireland, Irish War Web & BBC)
• Spaniards prisioners in Mauthaussen (trailer & newspaper article)
• Garbo, the spy (last week trailer, MI5 info & History channel)
• La Nueve and the battle of Paris (last week video & newspaper article)

Of course, you will need to do some previous research to prepare the script and the images you will use (photos or videos). It can be done individually or in groups (maximum 4 people).

These are the basic requirements:

• You should open your "TV news/reporter" with a definition of the chosen topic, explaining it as completely as possible. It is mandatory that the explanation provided includes, at least, 2 original images (eg. portraits, maps, etc.), 1 written primary source (eg. excerpt from a legal text, a speech, etc.) and 1 exterior scene. 
• It woould be also highly valorated if you also include an "interview with an historical character". Would you dare to performance one of the participants of your chosen topic? 
• The final product should last between 6 and 10 minutes
• After those minutes, you should include the author’s credits and webgraphy (sources of information you used)
• The video must be in .avi or .mp4 format 

When finish, send the file via wetransfer.com to acarriles@educa.jcyl.es. As usual, this activity is mandatory; if you don’t do it, or you do it out of time, the mark for this activity will be 0.

Be creative and enjoy the activity. Good luck!
