FOLDER All students are required to keep a folder (provided) that will contain all log sheets and handouts. Your folder should be neat and should be brought to class every day. If you lose your folder, it is your responsibility to copy someone else's. The folder is also available on the Mass Media web page. You must turn in your folder (with log sheets completed) at the end of each grading period.

BEFORE AND AFTER SCHOOL TIME The video area is available before and after school. Zero Period is from 7:007:25 on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. The video area will not be available from 7:00 7:30 on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The instructors are available most days after school. Please check with them if you want to work after regular school hours and do not just assume that they will be here!

ABSENCES AND TARDIES It is important for students to be in class and on time every day. Excessive absences and tardies could lead to removal from class. At instructors discretion, some make up time may be necessary to complete required projects.

FOOD AND DRINKS Food and drinks are not allowed in the Video area (AV workroom, studio, control room, computer lab, edit suites, or by the editors in the classroom).


GRADING CRITERIA 6week grading period grades are based on total amount of points earned from shows produced and an ubd. The classes are divided in to two groups and each group will alternate producing shows. A calendar of show dates and other important events is located in the back of this folder. The ubd will be a special assignment or an additional segment. Every show is based on 175 points per student. Points may be earned by completing Showtime segments and assisting other students (tech. points). Tape sheets will be used to calculate grades. An “airable” segment is due for each group show! Airable means that the segment is finished, there are no problems with it and that it is turned in at least two days before it is scheduled to air. Scripts must be turned in with the tapes! Segments not completed, not turned in on time, or not fixed by the show deadline will receive a score of a zero! No tech points will be counted for a show that the student did not turn in an airable segment. It is possible to receive more than 175 points in one twoweek period. However, if a student receives a zero for any show, they may not receive more than 175 points on any of the remaining or preceding shows for that grading period. Every student is expected to complete at least one solo segment and one hard news segment per grading period. If there are more than two produced shows in a grading period then an entertainment/creative project will also be required. Use the grading worksheet in the back of this folder to help keep track of your grades! GRADING SCALE Studio: 60 points All in studio with CG’s and no editing. 80 points Studio with CG’s plus 1 interview or 3 Brolls (2 stills=1 Broll). 90 points Studio with CG’s plus 2 interviews or 6 Brolls (2 stills=1 Broll). 110 points Studio with CG’s plus 3 interviews or 8 Brolls (2 stills=1 Broll). 125 points – Studio with CG’s plus 5 interviews or 10 Brolls (2 stills=1Broll).

All ENG: (150 pts) (135 pts) (120 pts) Appropriate location of interviews,

opening and closing Yes Yes No Number of interviews 4+ 3 2 Number of Brolls (2 stills=1 Broll) 6+ 4 3 Interviewer NOT in shot Yes Yes No CG’s Yes Yes No

Credit for Tech: 10 points per technical job. You can only log one job at a time. Huge bonus points will be awarded for working special events after regular school hours!


GRADING CRITERIA FAQ

Q: When are segments due? A: They are due at least two days before they are to air. You should actually turn them in even before this. This provides you an opportunity to fix/clean up any problems that appeared in your segment.

Q: What if I turn in a segment late? A: If the segment can air at a later day, you receive a zero for the twoweek show period. You will also only be able to earn 175 points for the other shows during that grading period (no extra credit).

Q: How can I earn at least 175 points every show period? A: You must do at least one segment. The other points can be made by doing an additional segment and/or getting tech points by helping your fellow students.

Q: Does my ubd count as a regular segment? A: No, your ubd is a separate segment and a separate grade.

Q: I’m a Senior and I have a hard time getting up and coming to school this year. Yea, I have Senioritis. I’m not getting my segments done. What can I do? A: You better get your act in gear and complete your assignments. If you do not get your segments in, you do not get a grade. It looks pretty bad on your transcripts when it shows that you failed this class!

Q: I got Mono and am home sick. What can I do about my grade? A: Contact the instructors ASAP. For situations like this, they will work with you so that you can finish your projects and save your grade.

Q: What if I do not turn in the script with my tape? A: The tape will not be reviewed and will be turned back to you.

Broadcast News Writing

Is writing for radio and television different than writing for your English class or even a

newspaper? Think of the way you speak. You use short sentences. You use

contractions. And you break many rules that your teachers have taught you. This

lesson is written in broadcast style, which is why we are reading it out loud. Like many

things, broadcast news writing has a set of rules that are followed.

1. First rule is to write conversationally. Write the way that you talk…but avoid slang

and don’t get too cozy. You still want to sound authorative as you are reading.

2. Write for the ear and the eye. This can be a little tricky, and you will have to unlearn

some English skills that you have previously learned. You want to write your script so

that it is easy to read. But, you also want to make it pleasing for the ear. Remember

that the viewer cannot go back and listen to your last paragraph again if they do not

understand it. Read your script out loud. How does it sound? Read it to someone else.

Does it make sense to them? Remember rule one…write conversationally.

3. If you want a pause…put it in your script. For any pause longer than a comma, use

three periods (…) to indicates that there is suppose to be a pause at that point. When

you come to this spot…you should pause…just for a second or two…then continue on.

4. Use subject, verb, object (SVO) when you are writing. This is the way that you

would tell your friend about something. The dog ran down the road. Mrs. Landgrebe

won an award.

5. Use short sentences. And also have only one idea per sentence. Make a long

sentence into two or three shorter sentences. If you have a complicated idea, try to

simplify it. If you overburden the listener with too many facts, they are going to tune you

out.


Broadcast News Writing continued 6. Use simple words. The 10dollar, multisyllabic words may belong in your term

paper, but they don’t belong in broadcast news writing. Instead of the word purchase,

use buy. Use anger instead of indignation and cuts instead of lacerations. These

smaller words are easier to read and say.

7. Use contractions. Since broadcast news writing is conversational, you will want to

use contractions. In your everyday speech you say, “He didn’t want to turn it in.” Not,

“He did not want to turn it in.” There are times when you may not want to use

contractions. When you want to make sure that the viewer hears the “not,” write it out

separate. “Principal Pitcock insists that he did not whip the students with his twoway

radio.” Sometimes the sentence sounds better without contractions. If this is the case,

then don’t use them.

8. Have a strong lead. Leads are the first few sentences of your story. Start with

something that will make your viewers want to watch the story. If you start off with a

boring lead, some people will not stick around long enough (mentally or physically) to

watch your story. (See L for details!)

9. Don’t scare the viewer or give them directions. You don’t want start a story with

“Let me have your attention” or “This is a very complicated story.” Start with something

that will grab their attention. Can you imagine watching the news and hearing the

newscaster tell you to “listen up” at the beginning of each story? The viewer wants you

to get to the meat and potatoes of the story. They do not want to know how difficult it

was for you to find the right knife in your drawer!


Broadcast News Writing – continued 10. Remember your number writing rules:

• 09, write out – zero, one, five nine.

• 10999, use the Arabic numbers – 10, 345, 987.

• 1,000 and above, use a mixture that follows the two rules above. Spell out the

larger numbers and use hyphens to connect the words and numbers together.

Onethousand235. Twomilion33thousandeight. 22hundred. Notice how this

last example is easier than looking at, or saying, twothousand200.

11. It’s okay to round numbers. If something is 294feet long, you can say, “just under

300 feet,” “close to 100 yards,” “almost the length of a football field.” If you are

rounding, make sure to include words like, “almost,” slightly more than,” “just about,” so

that your viewers know that you are rounding. If the number is important in the story,

then do not round. This generally includes deaths or some significant feat like number

of HoHo’s a person ate in five minutes or a high number of bee stings that happened to

a person.

12. Don’t use abbreviations or symbols. If tickets are available at 1500 S. Main St.,

then write it out as 15hundred South Main Street. For the address you will probably

say 15hundred instead of onethousand500. So write it this way! Use “Crown Point,

Indiana” instead of “Crown Pt., IN.” $1.25 should be written “onedollar25cents.” The

only acceptable abbreviations are the titles Mr., Mrs., Ms., and Dr.

13. Give the title of a person first. Put the person’s title before the name the first time

you mention them. This will let the viewer have an idea that your are going to give them

a name. It also prevents the viewer from getting lost as they think “who is this person?”

If you are talking about Mr. May, the girls’ basketball coach, then write it “Girls’

basketball coach Tom May.” As a courtesy, if you are directly addressing him (to his

face) call him Mr. May or Coach May.


Broadcast News Writing continued 14. Use hyphens to separate letters that are pronounced separately. FAA, NFL, N

CdoubleA.

15. Do not use commas in a person’s age. Newspapers use the style of “Tom Fox,

35.” Is this how you tell a friend about something? The correct style is, “35yearold

Tom Fox.” You should only include an age if it has some significance. “93yearold Ima

B. Dead finished the Chicago marathon in under five hours.”

16. Avoid saying direct quotes. If you have a direct quote from somebody, try to have

a sound bite of them saying it. If you have to read it, paraphrase what is said. This

sounds better than saying, “quote…blah, blah, blah…unquote.” If Mayor Klein said, “I

think it is absolutely ridiculous to have two fire stations within this fine city of ours.” Write

it, “Crown Point Mayor Dan Klein said that it would be ridiculous to have two fire stations

within the city limits.”

17. Use a pronunciation guide for difficult names, especially if someone else will be

reading your script. “Crown Point Community Schools Superintendent Dr. Teresa A.

Eineman (INEmen) said…” The syllable in all capitals is the emphasized syllable. Not

sure of the proper phonetics? Just write it out the way that you would say it. “…Art

Equihua (ahKEYwa)…”

So just remember these simple rules and you will be writing like a pro:

1. Write conversationally.

2. Write for the ear and the eye.

3. If you want a pause…put it in your script.

4. Use subject, verb, object (SVO) when you are writing.

5. Use short sentences.

6. Use simple words.

7. Use contractions.

8. Have a strong lead.


Broadcast News Writing continued 9. Don’t scare the viewer or give them directions.

10 Remember your number writing rules.

11. It’s okay to round numbers.

12. Don’t use abbreviations or symbols.

13. Give the title of a person first.

14. Use hyphens to separate letters that are pronounced separately.

15. Do not use commas in a person’s age.

16. Avoid saying direct quotes.

17. Use a pronunciation guide for difficult names, especially if someone else will be

reading your script.


Story Assembly Mountain Dew Burgers

Mary Hurst – CPHS Head Cook What are Mt. Dew Burgers? They are a new burger that has an increased amount of caffeine plus it also has some slow release caffeine that will be released slowly into your bloodstream. Plus they are 50 percent soy, so they are better for you.

How are they selling? We sell a lot more Mt. Dew burgers than we do regular hamburgers.

How do you feel after eating one? I have had some before the lunch rush here at Crown Point and I am still not tired by the end of E lunch.

What’s the price difference between the hamburgers and the Mt. dew burgers? They are the same price.

Are there any health reasons to eat or not eat Mt. Dew burgers? They are just as safe as drinking a can of pop, with a lot less sweeteners.

Larry Doniak – Junior What do you think of Mt. Dew burgers? They are awesome!

What do you think of the taste? These things taste like a regular hamburger and they really pump me up!

What is the best thing about the Mt. Dew burgers? Usually by the time I get to English class 7 th hour I am dead tired and all I want to do is sleep. On Mt. Dew burger days I am still awake during class and I feel like running 5 miles home afterwards!

What is the best way to eat these burgers? I put a big blob of ketchup, a dab of mustard, a pickle, an onion slice, some barbeque sauce plus I have a bag of chips and an energy drink.

Mary Lalam – Freshman What do you think about Mt. Dew burgers? I think they are okay. I was expecting them to taste like Mt. Dew. But they taste just like a regular burger.

What is the best thing about Mt. Dew burgers? I know that every Wednesday I’ll be able to get a hamburger.

What is the best way to eat these burgers? I just eat them the same way I eat any hamburger.


Story Assembly Mountain Dew Burgers continued

Robert Berstein – Science Teacher What do you think about Mt. Dew burgers? I’m not a meat eater, but I have noticed that the students are more attentive in class after they have one.

Have you noticed any change in the students after they eat one? Yes.

How have the students changed after eating a Mt. Dew burger? They seem more alert in class in the afternoon. They also seem more eager to do well on their projects.

Do you think there will be any negative effects from eating these burgers? I wonder if all this caffeine is good for the students. Some will have a large bottle of caffeinated pop with their burgers and they are shaking and can not hold things steady. Is this really good for their growing bodies? I don’ know.

Martha Doyle – Health Teacher What do you think about Mt. Dew burgers? I think they taste pretty good as long as they are eatin in moderation.

Are there going to be any ill effects from eating these? Some caffeine is good for the body. It helps promote good blood flow and it keeps one more alert. Some of these kids spend all day in class and then they are expected to work at optimum strength for athletic events in the afternoon and evening. If they did not take some caffeine they will not perform at peek levels.

How much more caffeine can students have with a Mt. Dew burger. It all depends on the person. Some people may be able to down a couple of burgers and a two liter of Jolt and not have any effects. Others might start getting a highly elevated heartbeat after a can of Coke. They should stop when they can feel the effects of the caffeine like shakeyness or elevated heart rate.

How do you enjoy your Mt. Dew burger? Some ketchup, mustard, pickle relish and a tomato. I don’t put any mayo on it because I don’t need the added fat.
