Daily Broadcast Evaluation

The e-MAS team recently received a rating of OUTSTANDING from the industry professionals who partner with the ITV program of Polk county.  We had to  select a news show from a randomly drawn two week period to submit for evaluation.

Congratulations to all of the students involved in producing such a high quality broadcast!

Production Calendar=WINNING!

I'm extremely proud of the newly formed 2nd semester news crews. We've switched up a major procedure when it comes to planning our news shows and they are rockin' and rollin' with the changes. In the time it would normally take us to plan two news shows, we've managed to plan almost every show for the rest of the year! Way to go e-MAS crews! I can't wait to begin production on these well organized broadcasts. 

Lucid Film Festival 2013 DVD

I'm more than thrilled to be so close to the first ever LUCID FILM FESTIVAL!!!!

I'm making a DVD that will be available for donation at the film festival on Friday, May 24th from 6-8 p.m. in the CLMS cafeteria.  Copies will also be available in my class afterwards.  I can provide receipts as requested.

Here's a quick screenshot of the DVD menu structure as of now with room for features, bloopers, trailers, cast/crew interviews and much more!  Bring some extra cash and score your very own copy!

They will look great on your computer so pop some popcorn, have a seat, and enjoy!

Rubrics Posted

Greetings, It is my hope that all students and families had a wonderful winter break.

The rubrics for the upcoming Outline, Treatment, Screenplay, and Storyboard have been posted to my shared MyPolkApps folder. The get straight to the rubrics, the link is http://tinyurl.com/q2rubrics.

Each rubric also has helpful tips and suggestions for the assignment they're designed to assess.

These are the same rubrics used in class during our writing labs.

Quiz 1 and Essay Question

My even classes took their first quiz of the academic year today and the odd classes will be taking them tomorrow.

This year, I'm including an essay question with each quiz to support the various writing initiatives and expectations going on here at CLMS/STEAM/CASE.

You can find all class notes and most assignments by accessing the SHARED FOLDER I run through MyPolkApps.  This includes the essay question.  Students have the option of completing it at home and submitting it via digital or handwritten means (see assignment details).

CLASS NOTES

Greetings!

Now that we're in the groove of the 2012-2013 academic year, several students have expressed an interest in accessing the notes from class.  All of my notes this year will be presented through a shared folder on my MyPolkApps account (click HERE for more info on this great service available to ALL Polk county students).

The same link will be available all year.  The same link will be consistently updated as notes are presented in class.

WELCOME!

PROCEDURES

We will be reviewing class procedures this week and begin technical instructional next week. This class is VERY challenging and my expectations are VERY high. That might sound intimidating, but we will work together to accomplish much this year. I look forward to helping all students reach high levels of academic achievement this year!

Google Documents

ALL NOTES AVAILABLE ONLINE

This year, all notes will be available through Google docs. Here is the link:https://docs.google.com/folder/d/0B6ydDgttCew0LUkzTnN3THdtVXc/edit

The same link will be good ALL YEAR. I recommend that you BOOKMARK the page, as the URL is a bit long and complicated. The link can be used when students are absent, to look ahead, or to print notes that may have been missed in class.
