Goal

To provide students with authentic, hands-on experience in broadcasting and media production that develops the communication, technical, creative, and professional skills needed for success in future careers and postsecondary education. Through participation in the Morning Show, students will apply classroom learning to real-world production tasks, collaborate as a professional media team, and build confidence in communicating information to an authentic audience.

What will be done with my students

Our school has already begun production of the new Morning Show, but the only materials we currently have are Canva and a dream. The production quality would increase significantly with the addition of a video camera, microphones, tripod, and lighting equipment.

This project provides valuable CTE experiences for the students enrolled in the Journalism class. The impact of the morning show, however, reaches much farther than just one class period.

Throughout the year, we plan to include special features highlighting testing tips and strategies, spotlighting high-frequency academic vocabulary, and generally strengthening the school community and culture as a whole. 

 

Benefits to my Students

By the end of the school year, students will demonstrate measurable growth in at least three career-ready competencies—professional communication, media/technology skills, and collaboration/problem-solving—through planning, producing, and delivering Morning Show content. Student performance will be evaluated through production assignments, rubrics, and student reflection, with a goal of 80% of students demonstrating proficiency or higher in these competencies.
