IF HARDLY ANY STUDENT WATCHED THIS, THEN DECIDE FOR YOURSELVES IF YOU WANT TO SHOW IT IN CLASS, HAVE THEM LEAVE THE CLASS  AND WATCH IT AND COME BACK TO CLASS or INSTRUCT THEM TO WATCH IT AFTER THE LESSON.

Slide 6 - Vidéo

IF HARDLY ANY STUDENT WATCHED THIS, THEN DECIDE FOR YOURSELVES IF YOU WANT TO SHOW IT IN CLASS, HAVE THEM LEAVE THE CLASS AND WATCH IT AND COME BACK TO CLASS or INSTRUCT THEM TO WATCH IT AFTER THE LESSON.

ME:  I will show THIS video during the  lesson if hardly anyone has watched it. Thing is, it has basic PR structure.

NOTE:  WE HAVE CHANGED SOME OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE PRESS RELEASE for 2022-23.  Namely, 

1. students will decide THEMSELVES  what the Giveaway Prize is and
2.  The Instagram page does NOT necessarily have to focus on Sustainability.  Instead, the focus of the IG page is to promote areas of their city that are cool, funky, remarkable and the IG has to be as "Instagrammable" as possible.

See revised Press Release Proposal and final Press Release requirements that I will send in an email before the weekend has finished.

The final assignment
 For your graded summative assignment, you will write a press release on behalf of the Tourism Board in Rotterdam, Amsterdam or Haarlem (depending on your location). The press release is about students from Hogeschool Inholland being invited/encouraged to submit an Instagram page to the Tourism Board. The press release is dedicated to promoting tourism in their respective city. Student(s) will receive an Instagram Giveaway Prize for the most “Instagrammable” Instagram page. You decide yourself what the Giveaway Prize(s) are.
In effect, you have to put yourself in the professional role of working for the Tourism Board. Your job, as an employee of the Tourism Board, is to write the press release for your own Tourism Board. It is your job to write the press release and invite/encourage students from Hogeschool Inholland to submit an Instagrammable Instagram page to the Tourism Board.
