This document outlines an assignment for students to remix local news using interactive storytelling tools like Zeega. Students would select 3-5 noteworthy local stories each day, write short summaries, and publish a 1-2 minute interactive news product to share on social media. The goals are to engage students with news, teach news judgment and storytelling skills, and have them learn by practicing daily deadlines. Assessment focuses on newsworthiness, accuracy, design, and meeting deadlines. Resources for the Zeega tool and tutorials are provided.
