Internship Check-up, Cuidando Project, Editing Teams

We've got a lot of ground to cover today. I'll meet with Internship Seniors and we'll look at the Internship Documents you must complete. Meanwhile, the Cuidando Project students will try to finalize ideas and teams (2nd & 4th pds. only), and remaining students will be assigned to edit one of the following projects:

1. 5-minute "short" version of Immigration Project (2)

2. Grandparents' Day event footage (2)

3. HCC Excellence Awards Dinner (3)

4. Football footage (2)

5. Yearbook commercial (plan/shoot/edit) (3)

Researching Child Homelessness

Today you'll research Child Homelessness, document your results, and answer some questions to get us started on this film project.

Create a new document in Word, with your name and class period. Print completed work today before watching Green Screen films.

Start here to find at least 3 facts and/or statistics about child homelessness:

Cuidando's Web Site:

http://www.cuidandolosninos.org/

In the same Word document, answer the following:

1. How do you think homelessness impacts a child's life?

2. Why is it important to try to end child homelessness?

3. What are some of the factors that lead to homelessness?

4. How can being homeless as a child have an impact on someone later in life?

5. List at least 5 images/objects you associate with "children" and "home".

This Week's Schedule

We'll finish "Drama", watch and critique your green screen films, discuss the Homeless Kids' project, and continue to talk about internships.

Film 3

Today I'd like to talk with you about Film Prod. 3. I understand that many students dropped the class after talking with the counselor last week; it's important to understand that the schedule isn't set, and we're trying to move those classes into earlier slots.

For those seniors interested in TV Broadcasting, we're creating a special section of Film 3 to work with the TV class (which is mostly upcoming juniors), so we'd need to sign you up for Film 3.
