Adaptations

This project may be done in pairs. The on screen time could then be divided and the writing task could also be combined in order to accommodate special needs. Additionally, the vocabulary could be limited or the number of days to be included in the broadcast could be cut.

Extension

The broadcast could be extended to a complete news segment.
