Blog activity

Get ahead with your course and try new skills between now and September.

The Challenge

Create either a blog, powerpoint/prezzi presentation, or video based on one of the topics you’ll be learning on your course. Click through to the ‘Studies Include’ section of your chosen course to see a list of options. Bring that topic to life by creating some content to introduce it!

For example, Level 2 Media covers TV Adverts. You could make a blog, presentation, or video on how TV adverts first came about, which ones became ‘classics’, and how they’ve changed over time.

Send your completed work to discover@farn-ct.ac.uk. We look forward to seeing your work!
