First of all you need to get the tty that the message should be printed
to. For example ( echo "Hello World!" >`tty` ). notice command tty in
back quotes ``, well those are telling the whole command to process
the tty command first. Now that we have the console part taken care of
on to bigger and better things like putting it in a file at the same
time. For this to happen Im sure there are multiple ways of doing it
but number one is break it into two commands and set a variable to hold
the output of the script first and then echo $VARIABLE into the terminal
and the file.

Best of luck,
