Planning the project
Practical issues
We discussed practical issues in our meetings and you can find all of the minutes here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/118irwsMMsJCfr-m2cAzow0vgndIvxinU?usp=sharing
You can find almost all of the practical planning in the meeting minutes but here are some bits that related to me.
I had some specific practical issues for the launch event and these were:
| Issue | How I plan to deal with this |
| What if schools are closed and we can’t have a party? | In this case, I will make an online exhibition and we could have a Zoom launch party where teachers read extracts from the magazine and we screen some of the movies |
| Food? | It might be hard to order or serve food during covid so I need to keep an eye on the restrictions |
| Drink | We can’t have alcohol at the launch because this is a school and some students are under 18 but maybe we can find non-alcoholic champagne and champagne glasses. |
| The date for the party | I need to talk to staff and students to find the best date for the party |
| Music? | I would like there to be karaoke and a DJ but I will need to find a teacher who can help me with this. |
| Entertainment | Maybe some of the students would like to perform at the event |
| Where to put the exhibition | We have some good white walls downstairs in the DT area so I will talk to Barney about whether we can exhibit here |
| Printing Art | I will need to work out how to print out all the art work and how to display it. |
| How to exhibit work that is not visual (movies / songs) | Perhaps we can get a projector? |
| How to tell people | I will need to make invites |
| Decoration | I need to plan the décor and find people to help me put it up. |

Promotion of the project
We are going to promote the project in four ways

- Have a Launch Party
- Publish articles on the school website
How I will deliver the project
- I am going to deliver the project by:
- Attending all the meetings
- Planning and delivering the launch party
- Creating Content for the Magazine
- Helping others
How I will evaluate my leadership development
I will look back at my list of leadership skills and see whether I met all of them.
I will also ask my teachers to write a report on whether I met the skills.
Public showing of the project
The public showing of the project will be the launch party which I am in charge of. I will say more about this later.
Risk assessment – this is my risk assessment for the launch party. We talked about it in group and I recorded the details
Relevant Legislation that we might need to find out about?
- Actor releases for people involved in films
- Is it okay to print student work?
- Consent?
Working with others
We will be working as a team to make the magazine. And we will be working with teachers.
