Syllabi & lesson plans

The brief

Making content is easy to start. Making a clear, responsible message takes design.

Grade 5 asks what a visual message communicates and who it is for. Grade 6 turns a phone into a production tool through framing, sequencing, editing and audience awareness. The combined case shows age adaptation across two separate curricula, not a single 80-hour program.

Learning approach

A small brief can carry a big learning goal.

Grade 5 begins with an avatar: a way to express identity without requiring a personal photograph. Grade 6 begins with three clips of three to five seconds, avoiding faces and personal information. Capture, sequence, text, sound and export form a visible production chain. AI is operated by the instructor; learners critique and rewrite suggestions in their own voice.

Make the message work

A class is creating a short video about reusing an everyday object. Make two editorial decisions.

More about the design

Discovery & objectives

Both pathways assume no prior design, editing or AI experience. The first lessons respond to practical differences: mouse support and pair work for younger learners; camera/director roles for learners without a working phone; voluntary presentations and in-app playback when export is unfinished. These are concrete inclusion choices documented in the plans.

Intended learning performance

Learners should make purposeful design choices, explain a message, handle media responsibly and improve a product using audience feedback. The Grade 6 opening task makes this achievable with three short clips rather than an open-ended film.

Design focus

Visual meaning, storyboards, media and feedback

Development & storyboard

The Grade 5 pathway moves through visual identity, experimentation, a campaign and a digital collection. The Grade 6 pathway adds a content brief, mini brand kit, hook-to-call-to-action structure, rough cut, voice-over and a final Content Kit. Canva, CapCut and AvatarMaker are specified in the documents, with age-appropriate guidance around AI.

The supplied artifacts comprise four bilingual syllabi and two detailed first lessons. The storyboard and message-review interaction on this page are new portfolio examples. No identifiable learner media, classroom photographs or original employer-branded pages are reproduced.

Multilingual design

The paired source titles make the two tracks explicit. Bilingual development includes preserving the learning purpose and technical vocabulary; effectiveness of cultural adaptation has not been measured in the supplied files.

Evaluation & next steps

The Grade 6 opening plan uses participation, safety compliance and a three-clip export as checks, without a grade. It also includes brief peer appreciation and an exit reflection. Later curricula plan message tests, trial-feed feedback and documented changes. No completed media kit, audience-feedback log or measured learning outcome was supplied.

A proposed next iteration

A proposed refinement is a concise rubric for message clarity, intentional choices, technical completion and privacy. The Grade 5 opening plan labels 90 minutes while its activities total 85; a delivery-ready revision should explicitly allocate the remaining five minutes. Missing Grade 6 appendices should be restored before classroom reuse.
