Star NIE

A workshop on MagInc was conducted by the Star last month. It was held at Tafe College. The students who attended the workshoop were Jasreen Kaur, Priyanka Liz, Kristen Lim and Aysha. It was a most enlightening time for the students and teacher. As this will be the first time the school is participating in the MagInc Competition, we were all most eager and excited about it.

This is how a MagInc looks like. This sample has many elements: photos, advertisements, poems, interviews etc. The feature article is entitled Looking for a Friend.

Another sample here; entitled Double Trouble.

After the talk and looking at all the samples, now is the time to put their heads together and try to create something.



A blank sheet of paper....what can you do with it? Not that easy....

Hard at work....all the colours and pens were out.

The workshop ended at 12pm. The students have learnt a lot. It will definitely be challenging to produce an excellent MagInc. But everybody can give it a try and get a Piza Hut voucher!
