1) What were the five stories your group chose to broadcast?
Green ford story: sports day was changed to another day because of the strikes on Thursday therefore resulting in school not on that day and it is no in the school filed not perivale track.
International news: Palestinian teenage body found in JerusalemLondon news: new antibiotics being made.
sports news:UK regulator investigating whether Facebook broke data protection laws.
Funny news story:
Woman gives birth to her child in Birmingham, outside Primark.

2) For each story above, explain WHY you chose that particular story and not something else. Why would it interest a Greenford audience? 
G-we told this story because may students are disappointed about this.
     I-We chose this story because the boy was kidnapped before his death.
     S-We chose this story because the world cup is now the recent sporting event and everyone especially team supporters of USA wonder if the win of Argentina was fair.
F- We chose this story because its kind of random and since it was outside a well known store (primark) it makes it even more funny.

3) What order did you broadcast the stories in? Why did you place the stories in that order?
We did the Greenford news first because we are the ones who are missing out on sports day. We did our international news second because it was really shocking how the boy died The third story we broadcasted was the Facebook investigation and we chose this as our third broadcast because Facebook is used by nearly everyone therefore people our now doubting if its safe to go on the website. As fourth we did the football news because we knew that as the world cup at the moment has so many fans viewing the matches from all around the world it would'v matter to them to know if the game was fair. We placed the funny news story at last place because we decided to finish of with a smile as all the news mentioned previously were bad news therefore finishing with happy and funny news was a good end.

4) How did you make sure the script was the right length?
We made sure by keeping the script shot and interesting so it would keep the audience listening and entertained.

5) How did you make sure each story was clear and easy to understand?
We wrote only the main points that needed to be said and left out all the unnecessary information.

6) How did you make sure the broadcast was professional?
As I was presenting it I made sure I spoke In full sentences and made sure everything I said was at a steady pace and clear and maintained full eye contact with the camera so it looked like I knew what I was going to say and made me look professional and confident as I said it.

7) What was your specific role in the group?
To present what was written as news on a piece of paper.

8) Rate your group’s ability to work collaboratively out of 5 (1=poor, 5=excellent)
Answer: 4, this is because we did have a bit of a laugh at the end but when we put our heads down and got to work we did pleasantly.

9) How could your group have worked more effectively as a team?
We could have done the work in a jiffy then after we could do whatever we wanted if we had done the questions given to answer by us.

10) Finally, what would you have done differently if you were given the opportunity to do this again?
I would have chosen more interesting news presented it professionally and done everything without any fault.
