__THE COLONIAL NEWS__
We thought it would be a great idea to come up with a project using both audio and our Colonial America Unit. In this assignment, the students will each be divided into groups of two-four. Students will be given one significant event from the Colonial American Era to research and create a news cast via podcasting. In this news podcast the students will be corrospondents reporting what was going on at the time. Each member in the group will have a significant role to play in the assignment. Two of the group members will act as "corrospondents". One will be on the "scene" and one will be in the newsroom. The group will work together to conduct research and write a news report script to give to the "corrospondents".
