Video Production Activity 3-
Make your script!
To record a newscast you will need a script to read from. If you were to take the time to make-up and write a script there would not be enough time to record it. Because of this, we are going to use the actual news that is available to us everyday on the internet.
You will copy current news stories for your newscast, and paste them into a Google document.
***Normally copying things for school work is plagiarism (Cheating!) Because you are not claiming credit for the news stories or trying to make money from your broadcast, this will be considered an acceptable use of available resources that you have been instructed to use.
Watch this video to learn how to copy words for your script quickly and easily.
Step 1- Create a document for your script in google Docs.
Step 2 -Label your script with you and your partner's name and Period Number
Step 3 -Share the doc with your partner and your teacher.
Click on the ‘Share’ button in the upper right hand corner of the window and then click in the box that says ‘add people’.
If you have:
Mrs. Adorno- Type in: Ellis, then scroll down and click on ‘Tanya Adorno’
Mr. Patarini - Type in: Patarini, then click on ‘Steven Patarini’
You also need to share your script with your partner, Type in their last name.
YOU MUST SHARE YOUR WEVIDEO PROJECT WITH YOUR GROUP!
ALL MEMBERS MUST BE LISTED ON THE PROJECT TO RECEIVE CREDIT.
it’s O.K. to ask your partners to help you spell their names.
After you have shared your script with your teacher and your partner, click ‘done’. You’re all set to start copying your script.
