NEWS!

You are a news reporter working for CBC News. You have been tasked,
with your team, by your department manager, to research a specific
topic that is relevant to what is happening in the world for a special news
programming on March 12th. Yes, this means that you need to make a
video.

In your teams, you must create a news episode discussing the relevant
topic. In your episode, you must include:
an interview with an "expert" or “victim”
a news reporter

Your video should be a maximum of 3 minutes, and it should be

structured like a newspaper article: beginning with a lead, telling the
important events in the body, and talking about its effects and why it is
important in the tail.

Make sure to include:

news company name
introduction of reporter names
subtitles
highlighted vocabulary in reading

EVERY MEMBER OF THE GROUP MUST APPEAR IN THE VIDEO;

however, feel free to involve your friends if you want.
