• Students watched a local 30 minute newscast. In groups of 3, students were required to complete the “Grade the News” project. Students may answer the questions using their iPads or the lab computers. 

• When students completed that activity,  they reviewed their Google Docs for a shared doc called “Writing for Broadcast.” On that doc are a number of articles I would like to the students to read and take notes. This work will lead them into our next unit, Headline Newscasts. 

• Reminded students to review the Class Activity Blog by going to lhstv.weebly.com – Home – Class Information – Broadcast Technology I Syllabus – Class activity blog. Assignments and resources are listed by day there.
