Turn your article into a script 

What do you need to consider when turning an article into a script?

• The story has to be told, that might mean altering words/sentences to make it ‘flow’ better
  
• Who says what
  
• KISS – keep it short and simple
  
• Make sure to keep it entertaining -> use humor 

Think about this!

• Think about the roles: you have a news anchor 1-2 people (nieuwspresentator), a reporter (verslaggever), maybe a weather man/girl  : who is who? 
  
• Think of a good introduction: Most anchor introductions begin by greeting the audience with “Good evening,” “Good morning,” or “Welcome”. 
• After the introduction you’re going to give a short description of the news segments you are going to present in your news broadcast.
• Example: today’s stories include the heartwarming tale of a girl and her pet turtle, a look at rising employment levels, and a clip of the Hurricane’s win at the football championships last night.”
• The news anchor (nieuwspresentator) will appear after each article and announces the next news segment. 

Think about this!

• Always properly end your news broadcast. 
•  The anchor should end the newscast with a short sign off. The sign off can be something simple like, “Thanks for watching your local news. On behalf of all of us at Channel 7, see you next time.”
• It’s okay to use humour or funny jokes in your news broadcast! This will make it more entertaining.

• Think about: who is going to do what article? 
• How are you going to make this news broadcast entertaining? 
• What are fun things you can add to your news broadcast? 
• You can edit your broadcast in an app: iMovie or something else
