How to Earn Extra Points

So, the requirement is for you to record yourself presenting a news broadcast on your chosen topic. 

However, we'd love to see you have fun and embellish your video. So, consider adding any and all of the following elements to enhance the broadcast and make it more authentic: 

  • Add images before, after, or during (using the Green Screen to help put the image behind you). 
  • Incorporate music using the free music available through WeVideo. 
  • Use transitions, title pages, and/or end credits through WeVideo. 

If you want to add images...

Once you have finished your research and have written your script, you may want to find an image or two to use in your video (note - this is optional). 

Some things to remember: 

  1. You will need to find the images using either Britannica Imagequest or using a Google Filtered-Image Search (see boxes below).
  2. You will want to save the images to your Google Drive. 
  3. You will need to cite the images (watch the screen-casts below).
