News Reporter.

1) What were the five stories your group chose to broadcast?

Greenford news story: Ghs receives 2 educational outcome awards from Specialist schools and academies trust.

National news story: The deadly disease across Africa.

London news story: Teenager Nahid found dead with 16 stab wounds on a path on Tuesday, while James Attfield died when he was stabbed 102 times.

Sports news story: Nigerian Coach stands down from his role after Nigeria were defeated.

Funny news story: New invention made called the Double Face Toilet where you can do your business while talking to someone.

2) For each story above, explain WHY you chose that particular story and not something else. Why would it interest a Greenford audience? 

Greenford news story: We chose this story because I thought it was the only interesting story to do with Greenford High School and also it showcases how amazing Ghs is.

National news story: We chose this story because Africa has been a big shoutout when it comes to diseases and fining out that there is a new disease is something big because they are already affected by other side affects they are already facing.

London news story: We chose this story because a lot of children and adults are dying by being stabbed and it was a coincidence that they both died by being stabbed. Also most stories in the news are about violence and teenage death so I decided to choose it.

Sports news story: We chose this story because many people may have a different point of view to why the Nigerian Coach quit his spot as coach - right after Nigeria lost. It would interest people in Greenford because at this time nearly everyone is watching The World Cup.

Funny news story: We chose this story because when we first read the story we thought it was funny. We also thought because all the other stories were serious, we would put a really funny story on to make the people watching laugh.

3) What order did you broadcast the stories in? Why did you place the stories in that order?

At first I wanted to just put the stories in random order but then I realised I couldn't do that because I had one serious story, then a funny story following it and then a serious story. I had to change the order to the most serious stories to the less serious and I kept the funny story for the end so people could watch the news with a funny and less serious ending.

4) How did you make sure the script was the right length?

To make sure the script was the right length, I only added the main message of the story as the stories we picked had a lot to be said. I also rehearsed what I had to say and see if it fit 60 seconds. I was tried it but there was too much information so I had to edit some bits out and I tried it out a second time but it was too short so I had to add some more information so it was just right.


5) How did you make sure each story was clear and easy to understand?

I wrote it in clear English so people understood what it said and also tries to space out the words so you could see what the word is.

6) How did you make sure the broadcast was professional?

7) What was your specific role in the group?

I had two roles in my group. I was the news reporter because the other 3 members didn't want to speak so i volunteered. I was also the journalist who had to write up the script for what the news reporter had to say.

8) Rate your group’s ability to work collaboratively out of 5 (1=poor, 5=excellent)

Most time my group was working at a 5 but sometimes 2 of the group we're not as focused as my friend and I. I think we could of stayed at 5 the whole time but I think the other two where a bit of task when they tried to search up the funny story.

9) How could your group have worked more effectively as a team?
I think if we all listened to each other more we would of work harder and also if we all communicated because we were all so quiet in the process of finding the information and writing the script about it. Sometimes it wouldn't be team work, it would be individual work.

10) Finally, what would you have done differently if you were given the opportunity to do this again?
To make it better I think I should have swapped with someone for the role of the news reporter because I felt I wasn't confident speaking in front of a camera and I would also look down.
