THE BASICS OF YOUR UPDATE

Completing Your World News Update

Once your teams is formed you will sign up as a team on the Production Calendar for a date that works for all members of the team to complete your World News Update segment.

Students will:

• 1. Check in with the teacher in the classroom before starting their work. (for attendance and announcements)

  2. Report to Dea Krueger in MHS Productions - room 1248 for check in and overview of production schedule.

  3. Use LMC and or class Chromebooks to research the top news stories of the day. Work together as a team to read, analyze and then summarize the top stories you plan to use for your update.

  4. Choose 3-5 stories you would like to use in your segment. (keep in mind this will vary depending on how long you take to report on each story. No segment should have less than 3 stories.

  5. Write a script that clearly and accurately summarizes each story and includes transitions between stories that make the reporting smooth and seamless for your listeners.

  6. Gather short video segments and images that can be used during your segment. Check with Dea about the format needed for the videos and images to be used.

  7. News anchor/s should dress in business formal for their on-camera segments.

  8. When the script is finalized and all media is gathered, record your segment with the MHS Productions department.
