We made sure that the script was the right length by making sure it had less than 200 words and also my roughly timing how long would it take our presenter to say it.

We made sure that the stories were clear and easy to understand by making the stories short and by using simple language.6) How did you make sure the broadcast was professional?

My specific role in the group was the Editor,I made sure the script made sense and that the news were correct.

8) Rate your group’s ability to work collaboratively out of 5 (1=poor, 5=excellent)

I think that our groups ability to work collaboratively out of 5 was a 4 because we worked together but some of us hardly spoke in the group so i think that it would of been a 5 if everyone talked the same amount.

 9) How could your group have worked more effectively as a team?

We could of worked more effectively by discussing more and talking about the news.Also by making all of us contribute more.

10) Finally, what would you have done differently if you were given the opportunity to do this again?

If we had a chance to do it again we would of rehearsed the script first and also we would of added more information about the news because we had less than 150 words.
