Teach 21: It’s News to Me
Students identify what’s happening on campus and learn to report the news by using simple video filming and editing techniques. Working in teams of three, they will select a subject, find pertinent facts, and report a story. Project requires students to incorporate video elements in news stories, such as interview sound bites, reporter stand-up, b-roll footage, on screen text and reporter narration.
