TV P&C: Script Writing Assignment Due 11/19

Use the following newspaper article to write a script for a video news broadcast. In this broadcast, there will be 2 anchors. You must created the script using the 2 column template using Google Drive and place in your shared folder Due: Before class on 11/19/2015.

Fifteen-year old Alejandro Taylor was fishing with his brother and father early this morning near Lake Water, elevation 6463 feet above sea level. Alejandro and his seventeen-year old brother, Tyler, got into an argument over whether to use real or artificial worms.

“Alejandro is a purist, you know,” said Tyler. “He has to spend hours digging for worms and such. He has to have real worms, or the experience is ruined for him.

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, “but Dad said he went the other way. So we went the other way.”

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, are combing the area around the Bass River in the 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.

Tech Lit: Homework Due 10/26

Tech Lit: Homework Due Monday 10/26

Please bring in a paper copy of a survey/questionnaire/comment card.

Tech Lit: Google Forms/Surveys

Companies create surveys in order to obtain data about what their potential (or current) customers want in new products, upgrades, and other feedback. After customers submit their surveys, the results/data of the survey are analyzed (numbers are crunched). Online surveys are most popular because the results are all already stored into a database and requires no human data entry. Survey Monkey and Google Forms are 2 of the more popular survey building websites. In this class, we will be using Google Forms.

Videos:

1) Google Docs in Plain English

2) Quick & Easy Forms with Google Docs

3) Using Forms in Google Docs

Your goal is to create a user survey of a NEW invention of a product, service, or event (or a MAJOR improvement on an existing product). What are you creating? What features would you like to see? Your goal is to create a brand new product. Before you begin, you need to know what your customers want! (This project will be done in pairs)

1st Part: Leave a comment to this post with:

1. You and your parter's name
2. Your new 'invention'

_____________________________________

1) Create a survey form on your new product that includes specific innovative features not available in current products. Before you create the survey, use Google Docs to brainstorm with your partner about what your survey will include. Think of your target market first! Who will be using your product?

2) Once you begin creating the survey, you must first drag it your Google Drive shared folder so I can view and also share it with your partner.

3) You will create a survey with a minimum of 10 questions. Four questions will obtain the demographics of your population with a few questions about age range, gender, etc. You can also ask about the # of computers and mobile devices in the household in addition to other pertinent data that will assist you with your new product. The other 6 will be about your product.

4) You must Try and use a variety of the question types as long as it fits the question

5) Each partner must take an active roll in the survey design making sure they are logged in under their own name to verify work completed.

6) Once the survey is done, you will embed it on one of your blogs and invite class members, family, friends, to take your survey. Try and get a minimum of 20 responses.

Be creative! Come up with a unique product name! Be positive and come up with the "better" widget! ;)

This survey will be completed this week and users can begin taking your survey once I approve it and give you the OK to post it! If there are any questions, please post them here or email me.
