LCTV Broadcast Club 2017-2018

Last year I started a broadcast club for 3rd graders designed to share what is happening at LC with our students.  It also provides the members the opportunity to work on a deadline, write scripts, learn imovie, understand how a green screen works, improve speaking skills weekly, and work collaboratively to create a weekly broadcast. This year, nine new 3rd graders are working weekly to produce our broadcast.  Check out our broadcasts below and learn a bit about what happens at LC. Plus learn about the weekly weather and a new joke or two!

After many years of wanting to start a student run broadcast club, I finally jumped in and did it this year! Eight dedicated third graders have worked for months to bring great broadcasts to our school population. We have mixed up jobs 4 times so that each member would have a chance in the lead newscaster role.  I have been so impressed with how my students have trained each other on their new job and how they have taken ownership of their new role.  One thing that I have noticed when giving kids the reigns, is that those quiet kiddos usually have BIG ideas.  Tarryn, is one of those kids. Each time that she takes on a new broadcast position, she has a new way of looking at how it is done. For example, when she became our weather person, Tarryn had an idea for getting the weekly weather to our students in a different way so they would know what to expect for recess, field trips, and activities.  It seems simple, but obviously, she wasn't going to continue the way thi...
