In the Finnish school, 8th graders filmed news about current topics and their home town on English lessons. Here's what they wrote about the task:

"The making of the news started with the teacher assigning topics for students. There were a wide amount of choices for the students to pick such as fashion, the weather, the coronavirus and so on. After the topics were assigned, the students started working on their news reports. They had two weeks to write, act and record their reports until the clips would be sent to the editor. At least when I started to make my report with two of my friends, I saw it as very difficult to record the clips because I would get stuck on some sentences and would need to start all over again. After the clips were recorded they were sent to the editor. The editor had about two weeks or more to edit the clips into a news report. According to him the editing process was very time consuming because the editing softwares were new to him. After all the editing we had a nice looking and informative news report to show to our classmates."

"So we did “10 o'clock news”. Erno and Otso did the script and performed as the news reporters. Otso made a presentation of our sweet sweet hometown Lohja. Then Erno performed the role of a meteorologist. Leo filmed all the videos with an SLR camera and edited the clips using Vegas 15 video editing software.
So what did we learn during all this? First of all Erno and Otso learned how to make a flawless script and how to perform in front of a camera. Leo learned how to break a usb port of his computer with a fork and a screw. Leo also learned how to operate an SLR camera but the lighting in the room was really bad so some of the clips are little over lighted and he tried to fix that on the edit but there was little or no success because we had such bad settings on the camera. The editing part was pretty easy because Leo has his own Youtube channel and he edits clips during his free time. Lukas and Otso.T were also working on the set. They switched slides and helped Leo with the camera. Erno and Otso like to speak English to each other during English lessons so it was very natural to them to speak English in front of the camera."
