School: Holland Senior High School, Holland, MI
Planned By: Dave Bast
Original Author: Dave Bast, Holland
Students will be placed in collaborative groups and will work on creating stories for a school-wide news show, which will be shown on our closed circuit TV system one day a week.

Students will use Google Docs to collaboratively write stories on topics of school interest, focusing on the arts, academics, and athletics. After revising and editing these stories, students will create storyboards for the six minute broadcast that will be shown to the student body on Friday mornings in place of our traditional announcements.

Students will use iMovie to create these videos, which will be assessed for content, presentation skills, and technical expertise.
