STEP 3 ‘CREATE’

Creation is the third step in MIL.

Students are asked to create their own messages
based on their access to certain media types and

their analytical skills.
It might not involve just pencil and paper –
students can learn to create and compose texts,

sounds, music, videos, radio shows, podcasts, digital journals,
pictures, blogs, websites, cartoons, and computer games.

They can use different genres, including narrative, persuasive, and
expository forms, and use images, language, sound, graphic design,
performance and interactivity to send a message.

It is important to note that creation and composition are increasingly
collaborative processes.

Teams can work together to
conceptualize, rehearse, perform, and
edit their productions.

This means people with a range of
varying talents and abilities need

to be able to work together.
