TV 2
Students refine and expand the skills acquired in TV 1 and receive advanced instruction in electronic news gathering and other programming formats. Emphasis is placed on completing assignments that are aired on Lenape District TV. Organizational skills, writing skills, professionalism, and the ability to work cooperatively are practiced throughout the program. In addition to creating programming for Shawnee Extra, the TVB 2 students also produce segments for the Renegade Morning Show, and help film school events that run locally throughout Shawnee on Channel 4.
