Students will become news writers and reporters as they bring history to life in this engaging news report project! This West settlers news report project is the perfect resource for you if you are looking for a low-prep project that has students up and out of their seats, collaborating, and using a variety of technology.
Over the course of 3-5 days, students will get a crash course in what makes a quality news report. Then they will take what they’ve learned and work with a team to create their own news station complete with a unique name, slogan, and logo. Groups will also plan, write, and film two news reports (selecting from options of miners, cattlemen, homesteaders, outlaws/lawmen, and the natives). There is also a bonus/extra credit option for early finishers included in this resource! When all groups have completed their reports, you can all enjoy and watch them together.
