🎥🎤 Mizzen Spotlight: The Newsroom is Open!
This summer, PBS News Student Reporting Labs is back with a brand-new experience just for elementary and middle school youth. Module 3 – Building a NewsHour helps students (Grades 3–5) step into the world of journalism, where they don’t just report the news, they shape it.
Through 36 hands-on lessons, learners will practice the skills it takes to build a news show from the ground up…from sourcing stories and asking sharp questions to planning a set and running the show!
We’re kicking things off this week with Part 1 (Activities 1-7), easy-to-follow lesson plans that help your young learners understand what makes a story newsworthy and how a great team brings it to life. They’ll explore angles, spot fake news, role-play newsroom jobs, and even begin to assemble their own dream crew.Â
