As you did in the other missions of the project, you are going to work together with other students in the final challenge. Remember that you and your classmates can learn a lot by working collaboratively.

All the outcomes that you have done throughout the project have helped you become a TV professional.

All your expertise and knowledge will enable you to face the great challenge you are about to start: the production and broadcasting of a magazine programme.

Your work on the final challenge will be assessed by your teacher with the criteria included in the 'Rubric for assessing a video challenge recording' (download in editable odt format, download in pdf).

Please, follow the steps that we suggest you to complete the challenge.

Feedback

Before you create the video, prepare a draft with the parts that your TV show is going to include. Remember that a TV magazine usually contains varied sections such as reports, interviews, the news, etc. Try to include in your programme the parts below because they will allow you to put into practice contents that you have learnt in the previous sections. These contents are:
A preview of the upcoming contents, that is, an introduction to the programme contents. Tell the audience what they are about to watch in your programme an say what time each part is going to be broadcast.
A report on a past event (you can search for information about an activity at your school or a famous event that took place some time ago).
A live report or description of what is happening around your school (the student roleplaying the presenter will connect to several reporters to ask them what is going on at different parts of the school. You can also record this part somewhere else outside school. Reporters will report the breaking news using the Present continuous.
An interview with a celebrity, teacher or classmate. Prepare a set of questions to ask the guest in your programme so that the audience gets to know the person being interviewed. The students who roleplay the guest must also prepare the answers according to their identity
A more entertaining part in which people show their talent such as a cooking show or a dancing show. Before your classmates and you record this part, you need to find people at your school who are good at different activities. Then, you will record these people performing their skills. Later, you will present them by telling the audience who they are, why they like the activity they do and how long they have practiced it.
The programme making of. Use the video that you produced in the Broadcasting section to conclude your TV show. This will show the audience who has produced the programme and what tasks you have done to obtain the final result.
Of course, your group and you can change the structure of the programme and include a different part that you like.
You are a team and it is important that you distribute and organize all the tasks to produce your programme.
In the post-production stage, get together all your recordings and introduce each part with suitable titles. You can use the Wevideo tool or any other online tool to edit your programme.
Publish your TV magazine on the page entitled 'My digital resources' of your Weebly site and share it on Pinterest with your classmates.

Promoting your work

You have made a great effort to complete all the missions and the challenge within this project. At this final stage of the project, we encourage you to show it to as many people as possible. The promotion of your project is a very important part of your work. Otherwise, what is the point in doing such a hard work if nobody knows about it?

In order to make this possible, we present you several activities that you must / could develop:

Why don't you show all your work to your family, friends and classmates? In groups, you will prepare and develop a complete presentation of your work. The final result can be developed in the classroom or/and recorded as a video that will be uploaded on a channel.

You can put flyers on the school walls announcing and promoting your TV programme and the channel where can be viewed. In your flyer, include concise information on the positive effects of watching your TV show.

We want you to promote it by using the social network Pinterest. Here, you can create a board where you must include all the links to the outcomes that you have completed. Remember to insert images to illustrate each mission. You will find out the number of people that pin your tasks, which means they like them a lot.

Another promotional activity can be done by using your own school web page. Your teacher will create a page entitled 'English Portfolio - 2nd Year CSE' in your school website and will include the links to your classmates and your own Weebly site. This would be not only a good way of promoting your work within your school community, but also a way of reaching a higher number of people interested in learning English through collaborative projects.

Any other ideas? Can you imagine other ways of promoting your work?

Please, enter the documents below and answer the questions.

By answering the questions, you will become aware of all the work that you have been able to do easily and of the difficulties that you may have come across. Besides, from your evaluation, your teacher will find out which contents and aspects of the project were meaningful to your learning process and which ones need to be modified because they did not help you achieve the project objectives.

You can discuss the questions with some classmates with whom you have shared the missions and challenge.

Finally, add your answers to 'What's on TV?', the learning diary that you have created in your site. Create a final post summarizing all these reflections. In this case, you will decide the title of this post.
