6A - Here are links to use in our Video unit:

View this first link because it was made by 6th graders in Atlanta. You can tell that they thought carefully about their script and storyboard. What story do we have to tell about our 6th graders?

Be sure to check out the section on Storytelling also because it has a great timeline diagram to which I will refer. You are at the beginning right now as you develop your story.

It's time for the 6A Newscast!

If you have finished your coin collection and your music collection, you may begin working on your newscast. Get a partner or a group of 3 or 4 together and think of a breaking news story at our school about whcih you would like to report. You may interview students or teachers about any topic you think the rest of the school would like to hear.

Write a storyboard/script with questions for the interview. Decide who will film and who will be onscreen. Pick a location--Yearbook Office, Library Conference room and Youth Lounge with piano are all acceptable. You may choose a garden or other room if your news story warrants it.

When you script and storyboard are approved, you may get on the filming schedule. Be creative and have fun!
