September issue

Good morning everyone,
I hope your first exams went well
I wanted to plan on a small September issue in the fall - something like 4-8 pages...

So over the summer, keep your eyes and ears open...

If you know students who are working on internships or other special things - lets get a news story about that - summer jobs.
Maybe a feature story on summer travel for educational purposes.
Maybe if you are working an internship an editorial on what you gained from it.
Sports fans... watch closely for interesting things that happen over the summer that may interest students.
I'm thinking just a page or 2 for each section
News, Feature, Opinion, Sports and Entertainment... watch those movies and read those books... see the concerts and be ready to review...

I know 8 pages will seem easy after the 60 pages we did this last time...(which by the way was wonderful :)

keep in touch if you are interested in writing for the Septemeber issue...

Good morning everyone.

You should all be very proud of your efforts this year. We have come a long way.

Study hard for your Regents... good luck.

Have a great summer. Stay in touch.

See you next year :)

broadcast assignment

http://www2.hawaii.edu/~ricky/etec/sboardtemplate.html - this one has an example

Since we don't really have the equipment do record, you will need to present the two scripts of your stories and how you would shoot them. You must storyboard your broadcast... with angles and idea with specific interviews
