A group of 16 S5 pupils along with Mr Huddleston, a teacher in History, visited the Showcase Cinema in Linwood today as part of their Elective programme. These pupils are currently completing a module on ‘Internet and Journalism’ as part of the programme and have been reviewing the methodology and themes of the module. The film ‘Snowden’ will allow pupils to scrutinise the media and news outlets with even greater efficiency.
The film explores key themes explained in the modules, for example ethics, whistleblowing, media and politics. This will help the S5 pupils have a clearer understaing of these topics.
