This guide has been completely updated with all of the latest technological advances to provide an exciting, alternative approach to teaching first-year television production to high school students. A combination of class instruction and independent video action projects based on the concept of thematic mapping prepares students for a year-end video competition. The projects borrow knowledge from other academic subject areas to teach media and visual literacy, broadcast history, video production skills, and multimedia animation. Available in both teacher and student editions.
