We have two news teams at Sally Mauro. The teams also include seven fourth grade apprentices. Students meet every other week for instruction but are expected to put in extra time.
Students gather, evaluate and report on educational news.
They use the video camera, videotapes, television, audiotapes, electronic information sources as well as regular text information sources. Students use programs such as PowerPoint and MGI Video Editor. Students combine information into well organized, easy to understand, informational reports that include video, sound, text and graphics. After reports are completed they are saved to VCR tape and made available to other classrooms throughout the school and district. We will hold a presentations night sometime in May for those who would like to come see the programs students have produced.
