Fix your "April Is...." Segment

The "April Is...." Segments need some work before they are broadcast-ready.  We will take the time to fix those TODAY after recording tomorrow's show.

You should have the following:

• A short explanation of what the Month Theme means (Narrated----no lengthy text!)
• Images that help the audience understand your topic
• suggestions and resources for more info (like, where to go, what sites to visit, what you can do, etc.)
• Please don't make it depressing

I will review your April Is.... project with you by 2 p.m. before you re-upload it to the Google Drive.
All of you either owe  me a Storyboard or must fix what you submitted for the Job Report.

Social Media and April Projects

We're going to spend the rest of this week concentrating on completion of our two pending projects:  April Theme Month and Social Media.

Step 1:  Spend 15 minutes completing and exporting your April Theme Month clip, and upload it to the Google Drive with an appropriate title (i.e. "National Booger Month") If there's narration, make sure that's included.  If there's a script, submit that via email to our team on the jagchannel email (ahahstv@gmail.com). 
Step 2: At the end of the 15 minutes (I'll sound a timer), visit the safeteen website and view the trailers for these projects:

• Driven to Distraction: http://safeteennm.org/issues.php#D2D
• Smashed:  http://safeteennm.org/issues.php#smashed
• High:  http://christopherproductions.org/projects4.php#l8

The sites also include scripts for the shows; feel free to download and review.  Once you've viewed all three clips/reviewed scripts (20 minutes), we will have a 10-minute discussion about the projects and their viability on various social media platforms.  This will help you decide which "team" to join tomorrow.
