Professional Package Multimedia Broadcast

Review your work Watch at least five news packages that have been developed by the class Try to avoid watching more than one package from any one person. Is each package “airable?” Discuss.

Review your work Should each package be saved as a model for future students? Why or why not? If not, what should or could have been done differently? Provide specific feedback.

Viewing and grading Split into groups to each review the local stations near you. If you have two stations, form two groups. If you have three, form three groups (and so on). With your group, rate each package you view. You will use the rubric points pulled from the JEA Broadcast Write-offs.

Use this sheet to review each package you review in this lesson. Consider using this sheet to self-grade any packages you create. You will use the following slides to review packages you have chosen in your class.

Critique example from your teacher. Carefully listen as the teacher demonstrates how to look at professional work and constructively criticize it as well as point out strengths to model in your own work.
