One of the major ways that my students plan to utilize these materials is by forming a cluster-wide news station that will write, research and produce a monthly news episode. This will be one hundred percent, student organized and produced, and students will have an estimated two hours per week to work on the project. We want to promote independence and pride in products for our students while allowing them the opportunity to showcase their hard work in their core subject areas and to strengthen their twenty-first-century communication and collaboration skills. What we need are two camcorders with tripods and microphones (one for our class news anchor station and one for on-location interviews and school-wide reports). We also are requesting a green screen so that we can create and utilize graphics to go along without newscast. Topic segments for the news broadcast will include Core Subject Areas (Science, Math, ELA, History, and Global Studies), as well as Pop Culture, School News, Community News, National and Global News.
