Today's project reminder included working on your group's actual script...all groups were to have created a shared googledoc to begin organizing their thoughts in one place.
HW! - visit your groups googledoc script and begin working on YOUR parts of the newscast. It's a work in progress, I'm not looking for a finished product just yet ;-)
