Directions:
You are a reporter and you have been called to a
school where there have been reports of racism and bullying. Using the i-Prompt
Pro application, write your script of what you saw and how the problem was
solved.
Example Script:
Reporter: I am here on the scene at Ball State Elementary School where racism and bullying have become a reoccurring issue. Here beside me is a fifth grade student who has witnessed the bullying first hand. So, when did all of the bullying begin?
Student: I remember seeing one of my classmates being bullied because he had lighter skin than the rest of my class.
Tips for writing a script:
When planning your report, you will need to consider the five Ws. These are:
What - What is the story? Get the facts right before starting your report.
Why - Why is the story important to your audience? Which points do you need to focus on to get their interest?
Who - Who is involved? Think about who will be able to tell their sides of the story in an interesting way. Make sure they're available to film when you need them. Remember, if you want to film anyone under the age of 18, you must get permission from their parent or guardian. If you are filming at school, in school time, this permission can be given by the head teacher.
Where - Where is the story happening, and where is the best place to film? If you're shooting outside of school, you may need to get permission first.
When - Has the story already happened, or is it about to happen? If there's going to be a significant event you want to report on, make sure you get there on time!
Check out this example if you need extra guidance.
