In the News!

Posted Date: 01/27/2025

Capitol GT students in Mrs. Alexander's and Mrs. Utley's 3rd grade GT groups went on a field trip Friday to learn about news production. Students took a tour of KLBK(KAMC) to learn about the process of developing a live news broadcast. Students were then featured on the 11am KAMC news and again on KLBK at 6pm and 10pm. Following a lunch at Capital Pizza where students used their creative skills to form wicky stick creations, they visited the campus of Texas Tech University Davis College of Agriculture Education and Communication and were educated on editing and producing their own videos. Students will use the knowledge gained to help prepare them to write, format, edit and produce a news broadcast as their Spring GT project. This News Show Production project teaches students about the 5 "W"s in news writing, understanding the difference between editorial pieces and news content, culture and citizenship, pursuing interests, data analysis, developing essential skills for communicating, creative problem solving, and logical thinking. We are so thankful for Mrs. Utley and Mrs. Alexander #expectingexcellence and for keeping our students engaged and challenged with wonderful learning opportunities.
