TURN IN PART 1 and 2-
PART 1- individual list/chart (each person's)
Part 2- Group list (minimum of 20 items per column)
Turn in all work together in one of your folders
Due Thursday 4/17 B and 4/18 A
PART 3- Lists returned (part 1 and 2)
Take your group list and revised if needed. Now, eliminate any thing listed that isn't realistic or revise it to something more realistic. Research each item in detail ( if applicable). For example, if your group put new computers, you must research what type of computers you will be asking for in detail. The following description was found calling a computer store for the best specifications for a computer for publication and digital image production in 2005.
3 - Pentium 4 computers, 800 FSB Systems or comparable with:3.0 Ghz, 1Gb Ram (minimum), 200 Gb HD, DVD-RW, Windows XP Professional, flat screen 19-inch monitors (minimum)
This means you will have to search the internet, call places, ask experts.
For items that describe quality or expectation from people, be specific about what you expect. Also think about potential problems with the item you are asking for and include solutions. For example:
Photographer
1) The photographer will provide student identification cards for students grades 9th through 12th personalized by student name and student number by September 1st. All IDs must be in the same format as the IDs printed on campus. Examples will be given to accommodate. Photographer will print these pictures from all student pictures taken during senior photography or underclass photography. If a student refused to take a picture or enrolls after pictures, the photographer is not liable to produce an ID for that student.
or STAFF
1) Staff members and their parents will sign a contract stating if they do not meet their deadlines, they will receive a zero on that deadline, which most likely will result in failure of the term, and potential removal from the class. Students and their parents will be expected to abide by their signed agreement.
When finished, you should have 3 categories of well-thought out, researched, and detailed expectations. This must be typed and be reviewed for mistakes or grammatical errors before turning in. Each category must have a minimum of 10 detailed expectations. Extra credit will be given to those groups that have more than 10 per category. Make sure each group member's name is on typed project, and that it has been saved to a secure location so that it can be accessed again.
Part 3 DUE as specified on Monday 4/28 A- Day or 4/29 for groups with B Day students.
Megan, Jordan, Dee- Index project. Pictures of index students and ID pictures must be taken, downloaded, and saved in proper location or inserted into index spread by tomorrow. DVD Project assigned. Due April 29th. Speak to Adrian.

Come up with a list of 15 interview questions each (total of 45 questions), which you would think will help route out the students who will not succeed in the yearbook program.

All work for Deadline 5 should be finished by today, except for the following which need to be turned in ASAP:
Track, Flag football, Tennis, Baseball-both, Athletic Directory(please do ASAP)
Remember the warning given to you at the beginning of this week. If you haven't finished something that is past due, it has to go into the publisher.
This means if you don't do it, and I get to it before you, you don't get a grade for it. I've already started doing it. Remember this isn't just for a grade, we won't get our yearbook if we don't turn the work in.
Students who didn't sell enough ads will have a chance to make that up through yearbook sales.
Next week is FCAT. A lot of you juniors/seniors think you are going to skip. We will be working on finishing the sports spreads we couldn't this week (Only baseball, track, flag football). We also will be working on proof corrections. Keep in mind if you don't show up, then you can't fix your proofs. I cannot wait around while you skip school to let you fix them. We our way past our deadlines. So either you come to yearbook and fix them, or I will and you won't get the grade for it. It's your choice.
Also remember you can always come after school and work.
Also, now that we should be finished with out deadlines, the only way you can leave class is by first asking me, then letting me sign your planner, then signing out on the hall pass log and then back in on the hall pass log. If you don't follow this procedure, I will be forced to write you up. Some of you have been taking advantage, and I'm tired of it.
Also, if you are just sitting around the class because you assume you're finished with things, you are receiving a class participation grade of zero. It is a yearbook class. How many times do I have to remind you that people need help with things. There is always, always something that needs to be done. Please get up and ask and stop trying to text message your friends. Laziness will not be tolerated.

Also remember that your ads won't count towards your grade unless you have their artwork in for seniors and their artwork and payment in for businesses.
Layout Test coming soon- You will be tested on all of the things you should already know such as:
Main headlines-48 pt Official Tyrant- apply effects to text only and colors according to the section
Captions- all in 10 pt Genesis- you can never change the size to a smaller or larger one-you can change the type of caption if you need more room
sidebar/alternative copy- 12 pt Genesis(except for underclass section- quotes are in 10 pt to fit)
Lead Ins- In 90 percent color of section. Title just as you would a book. EX: Things Fall Apart, Line Up, In Perfect Rhythm, In the Mood. Ideally, should be separate from caption
Photo Bys: 6 pt Genesis- bottom right hand of picture- name only- should hug picture
Colors for in-red, up-blue, green-out - codes are posted
Sidebar headline- must contain section title, must be in correct color, and must have effects applied to text only. It is in 24 pt.
Dominant picture- apply effect- object only.
Any solid object, apply effects of that section as long as it doesn't distort the writing on that object.
Cannot bleed objects over gutter such as faces in dominant pictures, captions, or move lines.
Use the percentages given to you on the handout templates labeled for each section. For example, the big curved bar will be at 60 percent on whatever section, in whatever color, always. The colored caption boxes will be at 20 percent on all spreads always. The dominant pictures without a caption box, should have a caption box added on top of the dominant in an obscure location in transparency, paper, 40 percent, no stroke.
Strokes should be removed from all items which don't require one. This is almost anything you have a stroke on.h
Move line at bottom- 12 pt Genesis, cannot bleed over gutter. When you use the surveys, be careful to spell things correctly, especially the names. Make sure you put Used on the surveys and return them to Megan.
Main headline- must- relate to dominant picture. It doesn't have to have the section name in it (ex:in, out). The sidebar headline does have to have the section name- and its already been decided for you. Ask me if you don't know what yours is. (ex: Whats In)
Whenever you take information from your reporter, you should always verify that they have their reporter checklist completely filled out beforehand, and that they've had Andrew- the copy editor sign the checklist giving them approval.
Reporters information should be typed when it comes to you, and ideally you should have them save it directly into your page file. This way you can copy and paste the information and you'll never lose it.
There is a spell check in InDesign and you MUST USE IT.
Reporters- Test coming soon-
You need to know things like
DON'T INCLUDE YOUR OPINION, YOUR ADVICE, OR ANY EDITORIALIZING. YOU DON'T SPEAK TO THE READER. YOU SHOW THEM.
ALL Captions have Lead Ins. They are caption titles and are separate from the caption themselves. Line Up is an example of a Lead In.
Captions (separate from their Lead Ins) CANNOT start with names, titles, or group references. You must use one of the many ways given to you for how to start a caption.
You have to pay attention and sincerely fill out your spread checklist, as it determines whether you do what you need to for your final grade. Things like check the electronic alpha list- are on that checklist. If you haven't been doing this, points have been coming off your grade.
Copy, the story that goes with many spreads, is in the past tense. You won't say things like. The girl's basketball team is doing great this season, because that would be an opinion and its in the present tense. If you have a problem doing this see Andrew or Ms. Batten.
You must feature quotes from at least 2 adults, and 3 students from different backgrounds in your copy. Its not just something we made up on your observation sheet, there is a reason. Those quotes should go in your copy. Your copy should always be long enough to allow the layout person plenty of copy to fill up their spread.
Don't interview your friends, people that will be all over the yearbook, and siblings or friends of people you know. That isn't being a reporter its being a jerk.
Don't ever say: When asked why.... just put the persons quote and then use an exclamatory phrase. Remember said is dead, try using other things. Also don't start with the exclamatory phrase.
EX: Don't: Cindy Lauper exclaimed, "I like to sing."
Instead: "I like to sing, " Cindy Lauper exclaimed. "I also enjoy dancing and playing the piano."
Identification captions: The name of individuals featured up to five, sometimes includes grade level and titles. The only caption which doesn't require a Lead In.
Basic Captions- In present tense only and describe action only.
Expanded: Basic caption (present tense)+extra information in past tense. Must include quote and go beyond the picture
YOU MUST HAVE Andrew check your copy before you give it to your Layout person in the spread envelope.
Always keep your signed interviews, and information related to the spread in the copy envelope for spread or in your own folder. You will probably need it one day.
All students up to five must be identified by first and last name in pictures. If there are five or more students in the picture, then you can refer to them as a group. So, if you have a picture of students in class, and you only put the names of the two students in the center of the picture, but not the kid sitting behind him visibly, then you've messed up, majorly.

This is the last reminder that you are responsible for everything in previous blogs. If it is assigned to your group, it is assigned to you. Your editor isn't the only one responsible for making sure things are done, everyone in your group is responsible. So if previous blog work hasn't been done, and it has been assigned to your group, but you failed to talk about it or assign it as a group, you all receive a zero for that assignment. Likewise, if the work was assigned to you and you never turned it in, you have also received a zero.
Communication is the key. Some of you really need to improve your skills.
Grades are online now. A password has been emailed to you if you gave me a valid email address. If you didn't receive the password, let me know. Also, if want to access your grades online, you must give me an email address to send the password to.
If you have a question about your grade, come see me about it. Don't whine, complain, and waste time, like you have in the past, especially because this time--all of your warnings are published on Battensclasses.blogspot.com. So, you have no excuses anymore. If there is a mistake, let me know. Remember, however, that if you didn't take notes on your blogs like I told you to several times, then I have no documentation that you did certain assignments.
Some of your grades are low because of the $100 ad deadline. I told you you had to sell $500 at the beginning of the year, and you all still wanted to stay in the class. If we don't start selling ads, we won't be able to produce a yearbook. If you don't feel you can do this, and want to get out of the class now, I can give you a note to take to guidance.
The $250 ad deadline will be 12/12 A 12/13 B.

*If you didn't get them something, don't turn this assignment in until you do. This is how I'll grade you for this project, so don't forget to turn the paper in to BASKET*
I need someone/a group to adopt the security guards as extra credit
Tshirt idea- December? Brainstorm with Ms. Batten
You'll start to see a new grade for focusing on yb assignments. Some of you get easily distracted and take light years to do extremely simple tasks. We can't afford for the time to be wasted. Randomly I will watch and give you a grade on whether you are focused on your yb assignment and efficiently completing it. I won't announce this beforehand, so always be focused- not socializing, talking about koolaid or rotisserie chicken,

- Once you have the above list, check to see if you have a senior picture for these students
- Indicate next to the grade level on your alpha list that these are graduates. For example if the list says Joe Blow is graduation but he is 9th grade. Put Grad after 9 on your alpha list- so you know he is supposed to go with the seniors not the underclass.
- For anyone who is supposed to graduate whom you don't have a senior picture of, add them to your unphotographed senior list that Antwan typed.
- Continue to get every unphotographed senior to fill out the proper form- including jr grads, uc grads
- If you go to locate a senior more than once and can't located them because they skip, etc, just write that on your list- you don't have to hunt them down if they don't come
- Once you have all of your photographed students highlighted, make sure you have an accurate seniors not photographed list, and underclassmen not photographed.
- Take your completed uc list, and completed senior list to Ms. Peters along with a USB drive. Ask her for all of the ID images for all unphotographed students, preferably in alpha order.
- Lindsay- make sure you have a yb survey for every student on your yb purchaser lists ( you don't need one for faculty members)

- use proper dialogue punctuation rules
- add tone (Argumentative, melancholy, urgent, sarcastic, horrific, distressed)
- use the said is dead sheet to come up with other ways than said that reflect tone, for example, if someone was writing an argumentative story they might put: "Where is dad?" I yelled
- Also, you are allowed to change things if they don't reflect tone, or you can add things to help reflect tone. For instance, in the story there is a hug. This hug wouldn't make sense if you are using an argumentative tone.

PR
Look at the previous Blogs and do what has been assigned. Your editor isn't responsible for making sure things are done. You are all responsible. This means if things aren't done, you all will receive zeroes for the missing assignments.
Kierra- Your group is focused on selling yearbooks and ads. YOU must look at the previous blogs and do what has been asked of you. See me if you don't understand.
Shane- SEND out AD BILLS, update ad list (or assign to Brittney Hicks or Jordan Comacho). Also, can one of them please make the ad chart I've discussed several times with you. It should be a bar chart of all the ads already sold. You can do it by the amount of contracted ads sold, or do it by the amount of money actually in for ads (not billed). You decide, but they should update it. You can split it up so one does the yb ads sold by yb members typed list on excel and the other does the bar graph. Its up to you. I need the bargraph up so everyone can see the progress we're making.
Also, Sherricka needs to make the yearbooks sold bar chart and post it as well. She can see Lindsay Harrell or Louvennia to get a final # of ybs sold count.
LAYOUT
Design a spread electronically using your own unique design elements that incorporate the MOVE theme. Make sure you use all of the fonts and headlines styles we plan to use this year. If you don't know, meet as a group and make a final decision. Save your spreads to the Layout USB drive that Nicole has.
Practice with Photoshop handouts
Regnissha- PLEASE take the photoshop handouts, put them in the sheet protectors, inside of the white binders given to you. Once this is done, place a finished binder by 5 different computers Layout most likely will be using.
Nicole/Louvennia/Tiff- Be sure to indicate which editor(s) complete each of the following tasks. It has been unclear in the past who is doing what.
Finish Blog 5. Fix spread checklist based on Ms. Batten's notes.
Design Sports Template- Lisa hasn't emailed it. So, you must do it.
If you are going to Reverse the Academic template you have, go ahead and reverse it and save it as a Template as well.
I need the printouts of the Ad templates. I've asked multiple times. I really, really need them. Please give them to me. Please don't make me me type it again. Thanks.
After approval of checklist, assign all layout, photo, copy, caption, research assignments to each checklist along with appropriate deadlines.
Now, decide what is going into the senior spread (portraits) page. Which will we be sending for the 1st deadline- seniors or previously decided? Decide what we'd need in order to accomplish sending senior portraits. Antwan has portraits- so you can count to see how many were photographed.
If senior portraits are going in 1st deadline, design that template as well.

-Make sure you've gone through your school event photos, such as Homecoing, and after batching them, make sure you cut subgroups out into their own folders.
EX: Homecoming Parade_Jordan C. (Ladies of Infinity will be cut out of this folder and pasted into the Ladies of Infinity folder. The batched name Homecoming Parade_Jordan C. will not change, however, because we still need to know these pictures of LOI were from the Homecoming parade.
-Make sure all pictures are flipped the correct direction. Rotate in Irfanview, save, replace(click yes with mouse- don't hit enter).
-Make sure all red eye has been removed if necessary. Irfanview.
-Make sure all pictures have been brightened or darkened if necessary using Adobe Photoshop Image Adjustment or Irfanview Adjust Colors (Photoshop is better). See photoshop handouts in white binders if needed. (see Regnissha for binders)
-Make sure all pictures are cropped if needed.

You and Maritza MUST stay after school to finish moving the deadline pictures to the proper location. You can't do this until all photographers have organized, batched, flipped, edited, cropped their pictures.
Maritza- see bottom of blog
Copy- The research group is no longer going to help you with your observations or captions. They will only find out who is in pictures, their 3rd block locations, and they will complete all surveys and sidebar information for you. You will be responsible for interviews, copy observations, and writing the captions and copy.
Make sure you take notes on who has been assigned what on the blogs, otherwise you all get zeroes for unfinished assignments. Your editors aren't responsible for reading and assigning blog work. You are all resposible for making sure assigned blog work is assigned, and that you all have been assigned something equally. The same people shouldn't be doing all of the work.
Finish Move assignments- Grades Assessed
Finish Homecoming Assignments- Grades Assessed- zeros given for any assignment not covered by copy group in place when homecoming assignment was given on blogs
Fix captions- Grades Reassessed (next time please read the blogs as Ms. Batten has directed)
Turn caption and copy notes in for grade. They are two separate sets of notes.

MOVE SURVEYS- split up, make sure those going around know how to distribute these surveys. New ones were put in PR cabinet for you.
Brittney Hicks/Jelita Jackson- Take over student electronic alpha list from copy. Replace each name as directed. See Blog 2 for Deidra's directions for the directions in writing. Finish by Friday. Remember Lindsay has the yb purchasers surveys
Brittany Lester- Continue your part of Move surveys as directed by Ms Batten. Type up all Yearbook Rules. 1 Rule per piece of paper (horizontally). Make them Large so they can be seen and post them, since a lot of yearbook students are not abiding by them.
Donisha- Assign someone to take over Faculty Alpha list from Copy.
Work on sidebar research- assign to your group members. They can research for themselves some things, they don't have to go to teachers. For example, interesting facts about History can be researched online. They need to find multiple sources, not just one.
If anyone in your group is ever not doing anything, let me know IMMEDIATELY, as we always have things for the research group to work on. Stop doing all of the work on your own.

Using list Antwan made, go to each unphotographed senior and have them sign Release of Responsibility. Tell Ms. Batten, how many extra copies of the form you'll need before using all of the ones given to you.
Start implementing the ideas you brainstormed for the November yearbook sale. They are buying them. Also remember to advertise the online website.
Lindsay- For every underclassman and senior, make sure you have their yb purchased survey on file
Research
Donisha meet with Andrew and Lynn- Get all of the sidebar research assignments for the first deadline (32 pages). Assign your group members these research assignments.
Also, certain people in your group have already been assigned copy observation sheets. Make sure you understand what the observation sheet is and how to fill it out, as well as the caption interview form. Your group will be gathering the information for the copy group to formulate into a published document.
Move Surveys- Send students out (only 2 per class- to classes you haven't gone to)
Brittany-keep reading through Move surveys for best answers and highlighting their names on your group alpha list
Photo
Deadline Grade was given for organizing and batching your pictures. Some of you don't have yours organized and/or batched. Please get this done, as our deadline depends on finding your pictures.
Also, go through all of your event photos and pull out certain groups into specific folders. For example, if you took pictures of the Homecoming parade, you should have already batched all of your pictures as Homecoming parade. Then you will drag the dance team pictures into a Dance team folder, but you will not rebatch the name of these pictures. This way, when we go into your Dance Team folder, we will know what even the Dance Team was participating in.
All photographers turn in your cameras, batteries, camera bags, memory cards to Maritza. She will check them back out to you. The $800 cameras will go to the best photographers for a week. This is if they are responsible.
Layout
Nicole/Louvennia- Type of Spread Checklist (Make sure all areas are covered in sequence- so that the spread process makes sense from one group to the next group and nothing is left undone. You may even choose to have a separate checklist for each group or just a separate checklist for layout. The process should work, whatever it is. Remember each group will have different deadlines
I need copies of all ad templates labelled with letters so I can make copies for everyone. Shrink them to size. Call Lisa if you don't know how.
Go into the templates Lisa already made, reverse them and make a new template. Also in each template add your extra info such as how the Photo Bys will look, the folio (if its one pg # for example)
Rest of Layout group- Practice with Photoshop handouts in folders- see Ms Batten if you don't have a copy
Copy- Finish copy assignments- interviews/observations/start writing
Andrew-meet with Donisha- her group will gather info for your group. Please let her know what sidebar info she will need to gather for the first deadline.
