Requirements:
1. Although the show must be created in teams, part of the score for this project will be individual
depending on the performance of each person.
2. The length of the show must be anywhere from 12 to 18 minutes, including commercials. The news
must be the focal point of the show.
3. Every student included in the team must participate to have the right to a grade.
4. Evaluation will be according to the rubric included in the second part of this document and will
consist of two parts: a co-evaluation and the evaluation from the teacher.
5. The shows will be presented in class with the help of the projector for everyone to hear.

Notes:
 Students can create a podcast if they prefer, however it must include video.
 When possible, students will be given class time to research and plan their show. This is not

case, students must complete the project outside the school.
 If any misdemeanor or complaint arises during the creation of the show, the team must report it in
time for the teacher to take action. If not reported, the solving of the conflict by the teacher is not
