The greatest thing about Fox 5 TV's Reporter Kristina Lee's visit with us was how she modeled many of the skills that we've been working on in class. By doing all of the camera work and reporting herself, she gave the kids a 90 minute master class lesson on videography, writing, interviewing, editing, and reporting. What a great learning opportunity for our students to see a media professional at work!
