This week, teams will complete their Special Assignment; on Wednesday, you'll edit either your "Teacher Appreciation" videos, or the Premiere Commercial, or (in a few special cases), an interview or Special Report.  Package Team 2 should finish their report and submit by Friday.

All projects should be submitted as a Quick Time file.

Wed., March 12th

Holey Moley!  Time flies when you're having fun!

Package Team 2: Your footage needs to be in the Studio Computer, and you should already be editing.  Your News Package Report is due in 3 class days.

Thank-a-Teacher: 3 Videos, recorded and ready to download/edit on Friday morning.  If you shot video on your Phone or iPos, make sure you bring your USB Cable.

Premiere Commercial:  Basic Script Outline and Shot List due at end of class Friday.  Be prepared to schedule the shoot at 4th & Montano very soon.


Guess What EVERYBODY?  You have to choose a new job already!  I'm posting the sign-up on MONDAY....so if you plan on skipping class that day, I get to assign you whatever job I want.

Monday, March 10th

Good morning! Before leaving for the studio, I'll check in briefly with the following teams:

• Package Team 2 (all of your footage is due this week; you must begin editing)
• "Thank A Teacher" (your 3 videos are due by Friday)
• Premiere Driving Commercial (we'll set a date to go shoot at their 4th & Montano location, and create a shot list/script this week)

Please note that current assignments have closed on EdPuzzle.  You may no longer complete any unfinished work, and will receive a zero if the assignment is not done.

Friday, March 7th

EVERYONE must finish ALL 3 EdPuzzle.com video assignments today during class.  I will be grading them this weekend, then removing the videos from the site.

 When you're done.....
(From my Sub Plans): Aaron is allowed to record footage (the 2 shots we talked about on Wednesday) after completing his online assignments.  Marcus and Janesa are allowed to review their interview footage together after completing their online assignments---take notes on good sound bites!!!  Eliseo is allowed to borrow the Hard Drive marked “New Jag Channel Graphics” from the sub after completing his online assignment.  Eliseo, start reviewing graphics and choosing the best for use on the show.

For the "Premiere School of Driving" Commercial Team:

I received this information via email from Mrs. Adrianna Baird, owner of the business:

Here are some bullet points regarding what we offer at Premier:
Drivers education

• All Students from your school will get $20 if they mention your commercial. 
• We make drivers ed fun with videos, guest speakers, activities, and we focus on relevant issues to teens such as texting and driving, dwi, rules of the road etc! 
• Classes are 2 weeks long m-f 4-7pm and then 7 hours of Driving is done once the teen receives a Learners permit. We also provide the road test and the Mvd computer test. 
• We have fun instructors and cool cars: Mustang, Mazda Rx8, Cadillac CTS, and more....
• We have a special spring break class coming up April 12th 
• Teens feel comfortable driving once they are finished with our program. 
• Students must be 15 by the last day of class to enroll
• We have 2 locations

This and more info can be seen on our website Premierschoolofdriving.com

Please give me an idea of what this will cost so I can make sure it's within our budget. Also our office manager is at the school from 10-2:30 and until 4 on Fridays. Let me know when you want to come by and I'll make sure to be there also!

For the "Thank a Teacher" Team:
If you choose to record any of your classmates during class today, after you're done with EdPuzzle assignments, you may go outside or into the Open Classroom area for 10 minutes.  Keep in mind, though, that if you use your cell phone to record, it may be confiscated.
If you choose NOT to record, you should at least prepare TWO guiding questions to get your subjects talking.  That way it's not so awkward.
Remember, your 3 videos, up to 60 seconds long (max), are due one week from today.  THAT MEANS THEY HAVE TO BE DONE ALREADY when you get here on March 14th!!
 

WEd. Mar. 5th

Good morning!  Before we go into the studio today, we're going to do a little Scavenger Hunt.  I asked you to bring your textbook this morning.  Use Chapter 9 to answer the following about Packages.  This is your "ticket" out the door; you must come see me individually and tell me the answer in order for us to go record.  Didn't bring your book?  Sucks to be you.  Borrow your neighbor's when they're done, or search for answers online and hope they're right.

Answer the following for your "ticket" out the door to the Studio:

1. What is a Package?
2. List 3 things that a Package might contain.

Don't forget that on Friday you'll complete your EdPuzzle assignments; you can also work on the "Thank a Teacher" project or the "Premier School of Driving" Commercial.  I'll have resources available for you.

Monday, March 3rd

Good morning!

Before we go into the studio today, we'll review your performance on EdPuzzle assignments.  I'll review expectations and grading, and answer any questions you may have.  We will continue to use this tool, and assignments will count for a grade.

Also, I'm going to ask everyone except Package Team 2 to sign up for either the Teacher Appreciation Project or the Premiere School of Driving Commercial.  We'll start work on this later this week.  It will count for a grade.

Finally, we'll head into the studio to record today's show.
