Introduction to Cities

We started a new topic in middle school today - cities. Here are some of the areas we will be working on around this topic:

1. A history of cities, focusing on Edinburgh
2. Info about 18 of the most interesting cities in the world (and why they're interesting)
3. How to deconstruct a video, advert and image
4. How a camera and video camera works
5. Some basic photography techniques
6. Photo editing
7. Important street artists and their work
8. Important architects and their work
9. The role that computers and other technology play in cities
10. Public health and sustainability issues in cities

Today we discussed different places in the world we have visited and put markers on the map where we have been. Pupils then created city fact files for one of the places they had visited.
