Great job on the Wood-Ridge High School's First Ever Blue Devil Nation newscast! I'm very proud of everyone involved, but like anything in life there is always room for improvement.
All students must post a comment to this blog posting reflecting on what worked, what didn't work, and how we can make it better for November. I'm looking for ideas on how to schedule taping, editing, and more. An example would be is something I overheard about someone on camera having too many sheets of script. Everyone must post an idea, improvement, and you can always compliment someone on their excellent work too!
(Yes, Puga, it's for a grade)

TV P&C- 10/4 In Class Assignment
Use the following information to write a script for a news anchor. Create the script using Word, Google Docs, as a comment to this blog post, or a new email to me.
Fifteen-year old Alejandro Taylor was fishing with his brother and father early this morning near Lake Water
“Alejandro is a purist, you know,” said Tyler
Alejandro threw water at his brother and stormed away from the others, going southwest around the lake. Alejandro was wearing jeans and a white T-shirt with the words “Vote for Pedro” in fuzzy red letters.
The father and brother continued fishing for about an hour before they realized Alejandro has returned to fish with them.
“I thought he was pouting in the bushes or something,” said Alejandro’s father. “He likes to sit in the bushes and pout. He is really good at it, too. Why once, when he was six, he pouted in the bathroom for three hours before we changed the channel.”
Alejandro’s father and brother stopped fishing, walked to the car and put their gear away, and then walked in the direction Alejandro has gone.
“We argued for a while before we looked. I thought he went that way,” said Tyler
After two hour of searching for Alejandro, the father and brother stopped looking and called search and rescue.
Currently, 113 searchers, including three women from Delaware Bass River Pine Barrens looking for Alejandro. The major concern at this time is a cold front moving in from the Northwest. The weather forecast called for snow tomorrow and overnight lows before freezing.

TV P&C Weekly Assignment
Weekly Newscast Assignment
On the last day of the school week, each pre-assigned group will perform a full newscast. Possible jobs are: Anchor, Camera person, Weather, Sports, Special Feature, Local News, and World News. Positions will be rotated on a weekly basis. Each group member will use various website and newspapers to find an article that interests you, read it, and then type up a brief summary of it to be presented in class during your group’s newscast. The article can’t be read verbatim. The groups will then type up the script of the newscast.
Each Group Will:
1) Create a Broadcast Name for the group and a Group Logo/Symbol
2) You can portray your broadcast as you wish (serious, funny, etc) as long as the news is real
3) Come up with a school appropriate Commercial to be presented mid-cast
4) Total length should be about 10-15 minutes. Keep your audience engaged at all times.
5) One person will be the camera person each week. Their job is to catch various shots, up close, group, etc.
6) After all groups have gone, we will work on editing the newscast on Final Cut
This assignment will count towards your Class Participation/Homework grade. If you are absent on the last day of the week, you are exempt from that week’s newscast. Your group will just perform it without you. If you are absent the day before the last day of the week, you are required complete the assignment. Participating will boost your average. Failure to complete them will result in a 50% for that week.
Once the class gets into the flow of doing newsgroups, suggested enhancements could be: interviews, music, costumes, a Blue Devil only newscast etc.
