Steps for our final project

Get into groups of 5 in order to prepare your School News Report:

• 2 members will present the General news.
• 2 members will do the Sports Section.
• 1 member will do the Weather Forecast Section.

Have a look at the following steps from the BBC School News Report webpage:

First Step: What is news?

1. Working in news is exciting, but challenging: we have to make our deadlines and ensure we get our stories right every time.

2. Think about what actually makes something news – it needs to be something new, and it must mean something to your audience, so something they need to know or want to know.

3. Stories can be about your school, the area where you live, the UK or even international.

4. Why not hold an editorial meeting – like we do at the BBC – to decide what stories to cover? (We will be doing this in class!)
