Deadline 3- 12/7-12/11- DON'T BE ABSENT- Remember minimum punishment for missing a day during a deadline is 1 letter grade deducted from final semester grade. If we have to do your work for you, you will receive a zero.

Ad Deadline- Artwork must be in by January 11th for guaranteed placement. Seniors don't have to pay yet, but we do have to have their artwork. We may still have room after January 11th, but we cannot guarantee it at this time. Your $500 should be in by this date, however, if we still have room in the yearbook you will have some more time to fulfill this deadline.

Tshirts- if ordering a faculty shirt, get it in by January 4th along with your money. Remember you are graded on doing something for your faculty member. You don't have to buy them anything, you can simply do something for them. If you do this, write what you did on a piece of paper and turn it in to the basket. If you've missed months and need to makeup a month, do something extra for them and I'll give you credit. Make sure you document it and turn it in.

Take Notes for grade on this deadline, what you need to know, the process a spread must go through, each groups individual deadlines, etc. Turn in the same day for a grade.

Put together copy envelopes with spread materials for deadline 1 and 2. Even though I said it a million times, some of you never filled out or even looked at the spread checklist.

Envelopes must contain the following for me to check them. All spread materials ever associated with this assignment stapled together with the most recent spread computer printout on top placed inside envelope. Spread checklist separated from all other materials by itself (stapled together 1-6) filled out completely by all students working on spread and also placed inside of envelope.

Layout- if you had do work for reporters that didn't do it, or never showed up, put what you had to do on the outside of your envelope.

Turn all envelopes in the basket. Make sure they are put together the way I've specified or I won't grade them.

Remember to put in your shirt order for the faculty adoption. If you didn't do anything for your faculty member, you can get extras on your shirt to makeup for it. Otherwise you will receive a zero if you don't get them anything for each month you did nothing.

Also, your grades are online. Some of you haven't checked your grades yet, and others haven't given me a working email address. If you want to see your grades online, and haven't yet, see me so I can help you access them. This serves as your progress reports so its important that you look.

Continue work on Deadline 1 and 2. Remember you cannot be absent unless there is an emergency. Anyone absent during deadlines suffers a minimum punishment of 1 letter grade off their entire grade for the semester. Sometimes we will have to turn your spread over and do your work for you in which case you will receive a zero.

Remember your Ad Deadline of $250 is due by Dec. 14. $500 ad deadline for guaranteed placement of ads is Jan 11. We may still have room to sell after that point, but we'll have to let you know.

Make sure you fill out the spread checklist. It is very important and I cannot give you a grade for your deadline work if you don't fill out your portion.

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.

Ad Tests- Presentation continued

Ad Assignment sheet- You will start going to 5 contacts the week of Nov 26th. I will check that week for the information outlined on previous blogs. If you didn't get ad ad assignment sheet, see me.

On a piece of paper, write down the following:
Your faculty member you adopted:
What you got them the first month
What you got them this month (was due Nov. 16)
*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,

Annie- graphics I asked for a year ago?
- Homecoming CD to Mr. Charlton- by today
- All Bryn-Alan CDs downloaded, edited, sorted
Nicole- I need that yb shirt back; it belongs to someone

• Go to Walgreens and take our Dell cartridges. See if they'd be able to refill them, then ask them how much it costs. Ask them if they still give our school a 10% discount. Come back to the school and have me fill out a requisition form, if they say they can refill them.

Shane-

• make sure everyone has a copy of the new yb contract both A/B day.
• Call Tshirt guy and ask him whats going on with the shirt design?
• Make sure everyone has copies of the corporate letter and you instruct them to have them with them when they go to Businesses in case someone says "That has to go through corporate"
• Explain to everyone how to use the list of posted vendors (places school uses often to purchase)
• Update AD list- and who has sold what
• Ad chart is incorrect- see me

PR

• Sherricka- YB CHART, YB CHART, YB CHART
• go to Guidance-Mr. Baker- Get a list of all junior grads, leap forward grads, basically anyone graduation that isn't officially a senior)
• 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)
• Lindsay- if you run out of uc/senior surveys, remember to bring 1 copy of them to me to make more copies
• Turn in your brainstorm notes where you brainstormed as blogs stated on what ideas you would implement for getting more kids to buy ybs and and ads- and how and when you'll implement
• Kierra- Highlight all students who purchased a yb on your contact list (the one with numbers)- every time a new student purchases a yb, you need to highlight their name on that list. You'll start contacting parents after Thanksgiving.

Research

• Make me a list of the people in your group and the research assignments they are completing/have completed for the first deadline
• Continue to collect Move surveys (whoever goes out must make sure they keep track of the teachers rooms they go to- they also should write this info down on their blogs as proof they went to as many classes as possible. It wouldn't make since if they only went to one class for example)
• Continue previously assigned duties

Brittany Lester- Redesign yb sign out log to include: Location/Assignment and reverse it so the sign out column is after the sign in column.

COPY

• Andrew/Lynn-I need an updated Homecoming Assignment List- please include all events outlined in your blog
• Remember to look back at my notes on your blogs, some of you have never turned back in things I asked you for on your blogs
• Bring your copy of the Rule List for the caption/copy group, with your name on it, so I can check you off as having it- this is a grade
• Bring your caption sheet- 175 ways to start a caption up so I can check it off as well
• Bring me a copy of the caption worksheet with the A, B, C on it, so I can check it off as well
• remember when you start to run out of copies of something, you need to bring me 1 to make more copies of (observation sheet for example)
• Old assignments a lot of you are missing: Move observations, 1st Deadline copy observations, Homecoming (ALL events) copy observations?, captions for 4 pictures (identifier, basic, extended)-total of 12 captions

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.

PHOTO

All photographers including editors

-all pictures organized completely and specifically

Ex: BattenEngIIHon1stblockADay

NOT: English Class

NOT: Battenclass

-Make sure all Folder names are spelled correctly

Ex: MrRobertsAPUSHistory1stA

Not: MsRoblentsAphisetery

-Make sure all pictures are batched correctly- and the batched names are spelled correctly

EX: MrRobertsAPUSHistory1stA_AdrianWalker (Specific photo assignment name_your name how you want it to appear in the yearbook

-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.

DEE

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.

New Caption worksheet given out. Ms Batten to make copies for whole group.

All assignments must be turned in for a grade or zero will be given

Fix any problems with previous assignments- last chance

RESEARCH

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.
