Radio, Podcast or Newsround
Change your news report into a live report on the radio or podcast (audio) or into a newsround ( video)
Write as you would speak
Be CLEAR
Keep it short and to the point (CONCISE)
Use CORRECT grammar ( reported speech)
With audio you want to describe a picture for the audience so they can see where the story is going and what happened.

Slide 3 - Tekstslide

Work in your newspaper groups, and decide what you are going to do.
AUDIO ( radio / podcast): record yourselves and one person has to edit the recordings into one recording. You need to start and finish your story like a relay race. Pick up where the other left off and introduce or pass it on to the next speaker.

VIDEO ( newsround): Each person records themselves reading or reporting the news with a suitable background. Think of an opening sentence and how you will pass it on to the next speaker. All the video recording must be edited into one video.
