The 8th grade students in Ms. Cosby’s World History class became news anchors for WRMN Channel XII news for a day. Students formed small groups from the students in their class and collaborated on ideas of ways they could present the information they researched about a topic from Roman history. They were challenged to use their creativity and problem solving skills to communicate what they had learned about their topic and present the information in a way that was not only informative, but also entertaining. The groups then wrote scripts based on their ideas and video taped their presentations as if they were broadcasting the news live. The footage was then imported into iMovie where the groups worked together to edit and fine tune their final product.
Through this project, the students became more connected with the information they researched and learned how to work with others in an highly productive way.
