Choose groups that will work cooperatively to produce different segments of the newscast and bring them together at the end. This lesson can be used with almost any topic, from creating a newscast about a period in history which demonstrates their understanding of that time, to a special report on the discovery of the quadratic equation which demonstrates their understanding of a math concept. This format is very flexible and can be used in every discipline.
