給教師 － 讓學生參與

教案部份提供了課堂上使用本比賽來學英語的方法，可是我們並不接受以班為單位的參賽者，而且所有參賽者要先徵求家長同意，所以我們提議教師們在課堂上介紹此比賽，而學生就與家長一起錄製和上載短片。

給家長 － 讓孩子參與

教案部份提供了使用本比賽來學英語的方法，所有參賽者要先徵求家長同意，參賽表格必須由家長填寫。

觀看此短片，找出它的錯處。

短片中的孩子表現良好，但短片的拍攝技術並不妥當。

• 該短片是以手機拍攝的。若您是使用手機拍攝的話，請務必將手機轉至橫向，不要像片那樣的縱向。
• 確保良好的音質足以讓我們聽到。
• 請將手機穩當地定點。
• 留有足夠的空間（任何地平面）在您的左右讓 「你有什麼新消息？」(What's your News?) 的團隊可以站立。
• 在短片的最後部分，請不要忘了微笑，約至15-30秒。 如果您贏得這比賽，「你有什麼新消息？」(What's your News?) 的團隊會用這段時間來談談您的影片。

否則的話，即使您的短片多麼的棒，我們也不能使用那影片！

如何參加短片比賽的十個簡易步驟

1. 富有想像力和創造性。嘗試想想一些樂趣和引人入勝的新聞。想想你要說的話，並多加練習。
    
2. 如果可以的話，請使用三腳架。要是不能的話，請將攝錄機放置在平面上，以確保它在拍攝過程中不會移動。
    
3. 請確保您的攝錄機設置為最小的影視尺寸640x360（寬屏16:9）或640 × 480（標準4:3）。您還可以上傳以下文件格式：avi .dv .mov .qt .mpg .mpg2 .mpeg2 .mpeg4 .mp4 .3gp .3g2 .asf .wmv .flv。如果是使用手機，請用橫向，而不是縱向。
    
4. 請不要忘記在短片開始時說"「你好，我的名字是...而我的有趣話題是...」"請不用告訴我們您的姓氏。
    
5. 在短片的最後部分，請保持微笑至15-30秒。您不用說話，只是望着鏡頭和微笑！
    
6. 請不要只是讀出您的新聞。請在短片和寄出的您的短片前多多練習，以及練習一下拍攝技巧！
    
7. 在拍攝時，請不要走動。您要說話清楚，確保沒有任何背景噪音。
    
8. 不要在您的短片中使用任何音樂。確保我們不會看到任何標誌的衣服。
    
9. 您必須取得父母的批准來參加比賽。問問你的父母，來登記 register 和上載upload 您的影片。
    
10. 享受製作短片的樂趣吧！

1. Go to http://learnenglishkids.britishcouncil.org/en/kids-news/news and show the page to the class but don't start the video yet.
    
2. Talk about any other What’s your news? clips that you’ve watched. Can the students remember any of the children’s news? Can students identify the main characters from the show? (Grant is the presenter with a blue tie, Antony is the other anteater presenter, Gi Ant is the interviewer with a microphone.)
    
3. Watch the video. Ask very young learners to count how many children they see. Ask older learners to remember names and news. Encourage students to sing along with the intro song – ‘What’s your news, news, news?’.
    
4. Hand out worksheets to the students. Watch the video again and ask students to complete the worksheets.
   Click on 'Print an easy activity to do with this video for younger learners' or click on 'Print an activity to do with this video' for older students.
    
5. Tell the students that you want to know about their news. You could elicit news from students by playing the role of Gi Ant the interviewer. Use an imaginary microphone or even better – print out the one from the Interview Pack and stick it on card: 

   With younger learners focus on today’s news or familiar topics. Prompt students to give news such as The weather in my city is…., My best friend is called….., My sister/ brother / mum / dad / school / pet.... Write up some of the news on the board. You can draw simple images to represent each piece of news.

   With older students or bilingual students you could show the scrolling news on the What’s your news? website as a prompt: www.whatsyournews.com

   You could display or hand out the What’s your news? Headline Chart:
   Students can complete their real (or invented!) news for each day of the week.

6. Tell the students that they are going to practise talking about their news. Demonstrate an interview to the class with a stronger student. The teacher takes the role of the interviewer (use an imaginary one or cut out microphone from the interview pack) and the student can talk about news from his/her list or the board. Then swap roles. 

   With younger learners ask the question: “What’s your news?” and feed in language like My name’s…. and my news is that……And that’s all. You could write this language on the board for students to refer to later.

   With older students or bilingual students ask some of the questions from the competition instructions: What happened? When did it happen? Who was there? Where were you? How did you feel?

7. In pairs, students prepare and practise talking about their news. They should take turns being the interviewer. Let them write dialogues or sentences if they want. Monitor, check they are taking turns and give lots of help and encouragement. Decide in advance if you want your students to make and use the interview props from the Interview Pack.
    
8. Students take turns to perform their interviews to the class. You could hold a class vote to decide on a winner if appropriate. Encourage a round of applause after viewing.
    
9. The filming itself and the submission of entries needs to take place in the students' home as they will need their parents' permission to take part and submit a video. If appropriate for your teaching context, you could set the task as homework. As they will have practised in the class the role of the parent is to film their child and help them upload the video to the website in order to enter the film for the competition. If possible, print a leaflet to give to your students with the information about the competition and the website address. Unfortunately we can not accept entries from a whole class or from students with their only their teacher's permission as this would break data protection rules. 

額外活動

• 學生可用同樣的問題模式來訪問自己的朋友和家人作課堂習作。
• 學生可製作 「你有什麼新消息？」What’s your news?的拍攝道具 film set。
• 這裏還有遊戲、活動和短片例子在 「你有什麼新消息？」What’s your news? 的網頁上: www.whatsyournews.com
• 這校園計劃經已張貼在 EFL (English as a Foreign Language) 的課室裏，但您可以參照這些題意，並用在您的課堂上。我們提議您可以推擴以上的活動至使用英語、雙語或多種語言的小朋友，幫助他/她們用自己的文章去創作課堂新聞報。 

家長指引

1. 和您的小朋友一起進入http://learnenglishkids.britishcouncil.org/en/kids-news/news ，但先不要開始播放短片。
    
2. 談談您的小朋友在學校或家裏曾看過其他 「你有什麼新消息？」（What’s Your News?）團隊拍攝的短片。您的小朋友能夠記得一些兒時有趣的新聞嗎？您的小朋友能夠辨認出短片中的主角嗎？(Grant是戴著籃呔的主持，Antony是其他的食蟻獸主持 ，Gi Ant是拿著麥克風的主持。)
    
3. 看看短片。問問小朋友在短片中看見多少個孩子，再問問年紀太一點的小朋友去記著出現在短片中的名字和新聞。短片中，前奏的歌曲有著優美的璇律。您和小朋友亦可以試試跟著唱 – ‘What’s your news, news, news?’.
    
4. 完成工作紙。這裏有兩款工作紙分別給年紀較小及較大的小朋友，您可以為您的小朋友選擇一份合適的工作紙。進入 'Print an easy activity to do with this video for younger learners'(列印一份簡易工作表給年紀小的小朋友)或 進入 'Print an activity to do with this video' for older kids (列印一份工作表給較年長的小朋友)。再看看那短片，並鼓勵小朋友完成工作紙。答案在工作紙的未端。為避開誘惑，您亦可以試試摺起或剪下答案來。您更可一起聆聽短片，來幫助您的小朋友回答問題。
    
5. 告訴您的小朋友，您想知道他/她們的趣味新聞。您能夠與他/她們來一個角色扮演，您來扮演 Gi Ant主扮，問問您的小朋友 What’s your news?. 您可想像一支麥克風，或在訪問工具的工作紙上列印，並貼在咭紙上。若您有多於一位小朋友，你們可以一起參與角色扮演，並輪流作主持。
    
   對於年紀較小的小朋友，您可以教導他/她們留意今天的新聞或類似的話題。您可以讓小朋友示範給自己做訪問，新聞內容例如：'The weather in my city is…., My best friend is called….., My sister/ brother/pet.'一個剛學英語的小朋友會覺得談談現時的狀況較談昨天或上週的容易。若小朋友有課本，您可看看他/她們在課堂中學了甚麼或讓他/她們溫書一下課本中的詞語。例如，若他/她們在課堂上學了「運動」，您可以談談他/她們喜愛的運動···'I like Tae Kwando. My mum likes swimming. My dad likes….'(我喜歡跆拳道，我的媽媽喜歡游泳，我的爸爸喜歡···)
   
   對於年長一點或使用英語、雙語或多種語言的小朋友，您可看看「你有什麼新消息？」（What’s Your News?） 的網站尋找主題。您可下載「你有什麼新消息？」（What’s Your News?） 的頭條圖表。小朋友可以完成他/她們每週真實(或自創)的新聞。
    
6. 在拍攝之前，請多加練習。謹記，您只可以拍攝兩分鐘或以下時間的短片。請先從練習當中加強小朋友的自信，並幫助縮短短片的長度。 

對於年紀較小的小朋友，您可以幫助他/她們練習，如：'My name’s….(我的名字是···)和 my news is that…'(我的新聞趣事是···) 'And that’s all'.(就是這樣，至此為止)。您可以幫他/她們寫筆記。記著，您的小朋友不必定要用完美的英語，少許的錯漏是可以接受和諒解。所以，您不必要修改每一樣東西。重點是要享受活用英語的趣味！

對於年長一點或懂雙語的小朋友，您可以鼓勵他/她們在短片中回答比賽指引中的部份問題： What happened? When did it happen? Who was there? Where were you? How did you feel? 他/她們可以用筆記去幫助他/她們記得想要說的東西，但切記不要只照著稿子朗讀。嘗試用點列式的筆記作輔助，這樣，小朋友會表現得較自然。

看看比賽的'Overview'頁，您會找到一個懂雙語的小朋友的新聞製作短片。您可作參照來拍攝您的小朋友。評判希望見到小朋友表演的樂趣，和清晰可聽見小朋友聲音的創意的短片。

製作題示

• 想想背景畫面。您會用彩色的牆身、書櫃、牆上的海報或白色的牆作背景？
• 確保您的小朋友是清晰可見，而不是被過多的背景活動蓋過。
• 注意燈光。避免在窗前拍攝。
• 您的小朋友會是坐著還是站著？若是坐著，最好是保持他/她們坐在一個位置上。
• 若您有工具的話，我們建議使用三腳架。或將您的攝錄機放在室入旳平面上，確保它不用移動。
• 嘗試找一個寧靜的地方去拍攝。
• 微笑和享受當中的樂趣！
• 看看您的短片!

當小朋友也滿意您的短片，你可以登記 register ，然後上載 upload 您的短片。

這裏有很多額外活動，您的小朋友可以自己應付或和您一起來幹。在拍攝之後(或之前)，您的小朋友可以製作 「你有什麼新消息？」What’s your news? 拍攝道具。這裏還有遊戲、活動、短片例子在 「你有什麼新消息？」What’s your news? 的網頁上。
