2) For each story above, explain WHY you chose that particular story and not something else. Why would it interest a Greenford audience?
Greenford news story: We chose this story because this leaves the Year 9's as the only GSCE year group left, thus all the responsibility and pressure from the Year 10's and 11's handed over to them.
National news story: We chose this story because this proves to the younger years how it's not safe to speak to strangers at night, because you notice the violent streak in them when they lash out.
London news story: We chose this story because this also shows to the younger years that violent and idiotic games like this can threaten lives.
Sports news story: We chose this story because the whole globe is linked by the World Cup, also the World Cup has dominated the media world.
Funny news story: We chose this story because this is an unusual place to give birth but it's also heart warming to find out that mother and baby are doing fine.

Now think about your writing, editing, broadcasting and group work.
4) How did you make sure the script was the right length? I used the stopwatch app on my phone to test how many seconds I took to read out the script.
5) How did you make sure each story was clear and easy to understand? I just spoke with a loud, clear voice.
6) How did you make sure the broadcast was professional? I kept eye contact with the camera (when I wasn't reading from my script) and I introduced myself and the school in the first few seconds of the video.
7) What was your specific role in the group? I was the Presenter.
8) Rate your group’s ability to work collaboratively out of 5 (1=poor, 5=excellent) I would say either 4/5
9) How could your group have worked more effectively as a team? I say everyone was a good tribute to the team and we worked effectively.
10) Finally, what would you have done differently if you were given the opportunity to do this again? I would re-record myself again because I kept stumbling with my words, especially in the beginning. Plus in the first few seconds, I looked up instead of the camera lens because I didn't know where to look at those few seconds.
