In this course, we'll learn about different cultures how people around the world live. In exploring this, we'll look at some individual person studies, some cool stories and documentaries, and other interesting media (podcasts! articles!). We'll explore how life is in different countries and societies, and what lessons and traditions have snuck into our daily lives.
While equipping ourselves with lots of new information about the world, we'll look into the specifics of documentaries and documentary making, with a view to creating our own documentaries on our own topics in Term 2.
As a student in this course, you can expect to engage in reading, writing and research projects. We'll also explore art and make some ourselves.
There will be a strict no devices rule in this class, unless specifically required, so please make sure you will be able to manage yourself with this in mind. You'll be expected to discuss things with us, and share your thoughts on what we cover and students that do this will be the ones that get the most out of this course. (Oh no, talking! But just let it happen, because it's not that bad, and you'll be all the richer for it!)
