Communication
In STEM++ Communication, we focus on three main areas:
-
Structuring
-
Writing
-
Presentation
In Structuring, we look at
-
the five Ws – what, why, who, where, when
-
top-down vs bottom up communication
-
deciding on a writing style based on the format
In Writing, we look at
-
storytelling – looking at aspects such as how to engage the audience, how to introduce humor / drama / action
-
we touch upon fiction vs non fiction writing, and how each one presents different opportunities
-
we also look at different ways to write including illustrative – comics / doodles, short articles, essays and so on
In Presentations we look at
-
public speaking including presenting to peers, such as explaining concepts that have been learned in other areas of our curriculum
-
producing and editing videos – including planning out the scenes, budgets, actors, technical etc
-
making video blogs and how to integrate all the learning to make your own videos
