Aspire Generation - Capturing Insights

This lesson is part of the Aspire Generation English Unit. Students examine the experiences of other young people who have contributed to their communities (these young people are part of La Trobe University’s Aspire Generation Program). Students will consider the challenges faced or opportunities they saw in each video. They evaluate how these young people have made a difference by giving back to their community, and how they articulate their unique experience. Students then reflect upon and synthesise the issues or challenges they have uncovered in their research from previous lessons and develop news headlines that capture the essence of these. Finally, they prepare a short summary presentation for their peers, focusing on spoken communication skills to communicate their insights effectively and reflect on these challenges and issues.
