Homecoming Float-brief meeting
Ad Test Part 2- Presentations - continued (Part 2 is going on next grading term)
Shane- go to same tshirt place with advertising tshirt design, ask the guy if he can make each one for $5 if we order 75 tshirts , ask him when he can have them to us, have Ms. Batten fill out another requisition before you go for $400 again. Make sure Ms. Batten proofs idea before you take it to him, and if he says he needs to print it only on front to make that price, then work with him. The purpose of the shirt is for advertising. also if he says yes, ask him if we can fax or email the shirt sizes because you will have to go ask selected teachers what sizes they want as well as the senior class officers.
PR/RESEARCH
- Make sure you always have a lot of posters up in the hall, 1 of each type specified in previous blog. Kids will rip them down or weather will, so constantly put more up.
- Make sure you have several banners made to advertise the yb sale at each upcoming Homecoming events
- Also decide whether yb staff members will be selling ybs at those events or if you will have them there to advertise those events (events listed at bottom
- Send at most two people out at time to AS MANY CLASSES for Move surveys. Please make sure they know it will be published, they should be specific, and if you have a chance scan briefly over the answers before leaving so you can have students revise and you don't have to go back to the class.
Copy/Caption
- Assign student(s) to be at each Homecoming event (see list of events below). They must take detailed notes and observations while there. They need to make sure they have the copy notes and have reviewed them before they cover the event. They should go get interviews from students, administrators, or teachers at the event and make sure they document each person's name accurately. Remember in copy, you can use anyone's quote, so long as it relates to the event.
- Turn in observations notes on Opening Copy into Ms. Batten, making sure you have identified which students observed/interviewed whom
- Make sure everyone A/B day has finished their 12 captions (3 per picture) 1 label/identifier caption, 1 basic caption, 1 extended caption for each picture. Turn all of the captions with names and the 4 pictures into the in basket.
- Look back at Blog from the last two days and make sure you are finishing what has been outlined: Faculty Alpha list, the student yb surveys. Please make sure you read the directions carefully before starting.
