Throughout the semester, students will produce three major video projects.By working independently and in small 'news team' groups, students will expand their knowledge of the Broadcast Journalism profession; develop their collaboration, interpersonal, leadership, and organizational skills; and strengthen their English Language Arts (ELA) related skills, specifically reading, writing, and public speaking.
